Abstract

In the present invention, methods and materials are provided to isolate the coat protein gene from Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus--Strain A (MDMVA). This gene (MDMVA-CP) is then incorporated in an expression cassette designed for suitable expression in a plant cell system. The resulting transformation vector is then introduced into maize callus to provide cross-protection to MDMV or related viral infections.
