Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) has become the key limiting factor for the production of tomato in many areas because of the continuous infection and recombination of several tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV)-like species (TYLCLV) which produce novel and destructive viruses. Artificial microRNA (AMIR) is a recent and effective technology used to create viral resistance in major crops. This study applies AMIR technology in two ways, i.e., amiRNA in introns (AMINs) and amiRNA in exons (AMIEs), to express 14 amiRNAs targeting conserved regions in seven TYLCLV genes and their satellite DNA. The resulting pAMIN14 and pAMIE14 vectors can encode large AMIR clusters and their function in silencing reporter genes was validated with transient assays and stable transgenicN. tabacumplants. To assess the efficacy of conferring resistance against TYLCLV, pAMIE14 and pAMIN14 were transformed into tomato cultivar A57 and the resulting transgenic tomato plants were evaluated for their level of resistance to mixed TYLCLV infection. The results suggest that pAMIN14 transgenic lines have a more effective resistance than pAMIE14 transgenic lines, reaching a resistance level comparable to plants carrying the TY1 resistance gene.
