Abstract
The present invention relates to a method to confer resistance or tolerance to more than one virus from the group consisting of furovirus, potyvirus, tospovirus, and cucomovirus, using sense and antisense RNA fragments of a sequence from their genomes. The sense and antisense RNA fragments are capable of pairing and forming a double-stranded RNA molecule, thereby reducing expression of the viral genome.
