Enhanced virus resistance in transgenic maize expressing a dsRNA-specific endoribonuclease gene from E. coli.
Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD), caused by several Fijiviruses in the family Reoviridae, is a global disease that is responsible for substantial yield losses in maize. Although some maize germplasm have low levels of polygenic resistance to MRDD, highly resistant cultivated varieties are not availa...
