NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCES DERIVED FROM THE CAPSID GENE OF THE MOSAIC VIRUS OF THE LAITUE, AND THEIR USE FOR OBTAINING TRANSGENIC PLANTS RESISTANT TO POTYVIRUS

摘要

The invention concerns the modified LMV potyvirus capsid gene for inactivating the function of the regions intervening in the transmission by vector insects or in the recognition by viral replicase. Said modified gene is useful for protecting plants against potyvirus other than LMV.
