Soybean antiviral immunity conferred by dsRNase targets the viral replication complex

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is a potyvirus that reduces soybean yield and seed quality worldwide. Here, the authors reveal that the resistance gene Rsv4 encodes an RNase H family protein with dsRNA-degrading activity, and it can enter the viral replication compartment and degrade viral dsRNA.
