Abstract
The present invention relates to isolated Raspberry Bushy Dwarf Virus (RBDV) nucleic acid sequences which encode RBDV coat and movement proteins or polypeptides and mutant or modified forms thereof. The invention further relates to heterologous nucleic acid constructs, vectors, transformation methods, plant cells and plants comprising such RBDV-encoding nucleic acids and methods for inducing resistance to RBDV by transforming plants with a nucleic acid construct comprising RBDV protein or polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid sequences.
Claims7
An isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:13, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:15 and SEQ ID NO:16, wherein a transgenic plant that expresses said polynucleotide exhibits greater resistance to RBDV infection than a plant that does not express said polynucleotide.
