The present invention relates to vine leaf drift virus (type 2) proteins, protein-reactive antibodies, protein-encoding nucleic acid molecules, and uses thereof. The invention also relates to host cells transformed with the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, transgenic plants containing the host cells of the invention, and methods for virus resistance and leaf drift virus detection using the nucleic acid molecules and antibodies of the invention. The solution according to the invention is suitable for the production of virus-resistant transgenic plants and for the development of new, more efficient plant protection methods. HE |
