Abstract

This invention relates to a method for producing a plant having resistance against RNA viruses by integrating a DNA sequence, which encodes a protein having an enzyme activity specifically breaking down a double-strand RNA, into a chromosome of a plant and making the DNA sequence express in the plant cells; and a plant having resistance against RNA viruses obtained according to the above method. A plant according to the present invention has resistance against plural RNA viruses.
