SOLANACEOUS PLANT RESISTANT TO VIRUS OF GENUS BEGOMOVIRUS CAUSING TOMATO YELLOW LEAF CURL SYMPTOMS, SOLANACEOUS PLANT CELL, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SOLANACEOUS PLANT

摘要

The present invention pertains to a virus-resistant solanaceous plant that has a property of inhibiting infection with a virus of the genus Begomovirus, said virus causing tomato yellow leaf curl symptoms, a property of suppressing the growth of the virus after infection and/or a property of suppressing the development of the symptoms of infection with the virus, a solanaceous plant cell and a method for producing a solanaceous plant. The present invention provides a solanaceous plant that has a resistance to the aforesaid virus, wherein at least one gene selected from the group consisting of translation initiation factor eIF4E gene, receptor-like kinase RLK gene, coatomer complex delta-COP gene, nuclear shuttle protein interactor NSI gene and homologous genes thereof has a mutation and the expression of the gene having the mutation is suppressed by the mutation or a protein encoded by the gene having the mutation is non-functional to the virus.
