Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) can infect a wide range of host species. For the lacking of CMV resistant varieties of tomato, RNA interference (RNAi) can be used as a fast and effective method for the generation of transgenic resistant varieties. In this current study, five intron-spliced hairpin RNA (...
