Abstract
Provided are transgenic plants with resistance to viral infection polynucleotides and methods for conferring such resistance, and methods for producing the transgenic plants. Plants transformed with a nucleotide sequence encoding a P1 protein of potato virus Y result in plants having increased resistance to infection by potato virus Y.
