  • PLANT GERMPLASM RESISTANT TO RNA VIRUSES
    Publication number: 20200216856
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dsRNA construct used to silencing specific eukaryotic translation initiation factor in plants to produce a plant resistant to viruses such as Potyviruses, Luteoviruses, and Furoviruses. More specifically, the plant would be resistant to viruses such as Wheat streak mosaic virus, Triticum mosaic virus, Soil bourne mosaic virus, or Barley yellow dwarf virus. Also disclosed are non-transgenic wheat plants having the genes for eIF(iso)4E-2 or eIF4G silenced.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 19, 2020
    Publication date: July 9, 2020
    Inventors: John P. Fellers, Harold N. Trick, Luisa Cruz, Jessica Rupp
