Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV), a member of the genusFijivirusin the familyReoviridae, causes significant economic losses in rice production in China and many other Asian countries. Development of resistant varieties by using conventional breeding methods is limited, as germplasm with high level of resistance to RBSDV have not yet been found. One of the most promising methods to confer resistance against RBSDV is the use of RNA interference (RNAi) technology. RBSDV non-structural protein P7-2, encoded byS7-2gene, is a potential F-box protein and involved in the plant-virus interaction through the ubiquitination pathway. P8, encoded byS8gene, is the minor core protein that possesses potent active transcriptional repression activity. In this study, we transformed rice calli using a mini-twin T-DNA vector harboring RNAi constructs of the RBSDV genesS7-2orS8, and obtained plants harboring the target gene constructs and the selectable marker gene,hygromycin phosphotransferase(HPT). From the offspring of these transgenic plants, we obtained selectable marker (HPTgene)-free plants. Homozygous T5transgenic lines which harbored either S7-2-RNAi or S8-RNAi exhibited high level resistance against RBSDV under field infection pressure from indigenous viruliferous small brown planthoppers. Thus, our results showed that RNA interference with the expression ofS7-2orS8genes seemed an effective way to induce high level resistance in rice against RBSD disease.
