ABSTRACT:
The invention describes methods for producing plant resistance to a ssDNA virus, particularly a geminivirus such as mastrevirus, curtovirus or begomovirus. The method comprises introducing a ssDNA-binding protein of theInoviridaevirus into the plant, and includes a phage coat protein, particularly, a coliphage gene 5 protein. The invention also describes a transgenic plant comprising a gene that expresses the ssDNA-binding protein and vectors for expressing the protein in plants.
