  • Modified gene conferring virus resistance
    Patent number: 10577624
    Abstract: The present invention relates to modified RDR1 gene capable of conferring virus resistance to a plant and/or increasing virus resistance in a plant, which modification results in enhanced expression of the RDR1 gene, and wherein the modification is selected from a modification that increases the mRNA level of the RDR1 gene; a modification that increases the level of the RDR1 protein; and/or a modification that increases the activity of the RDR1 protein, as compared to a non-modified wild-type RDR1 gene. The modification may comprise a modification upstream of the coding sequence of the RDR1 gene, such as a modification of a regulatory element, preferably of a cis-acting regulatory element.
    Type: Grant
