-- Potato Leafroll Virus (PLRV) is responsible for severe losses in yield and quality of potato worldwide. There are native and wild potatoes with high levels of resistance to PLRV (Solanum brevidens, S. etuberosum, and S. chacoencse raphanifolium).The development of new varieties using these sources of resistance is one of the current challenges of genetic improvement crop, however the genetic nature of the potato in most cases is incompatible between varieties, moreover to obtain the desired resistance takes over 20 years. Therefore the direct insertion of a gene that confers resistance to a variety of commercial importance have a significant advantage. The present thesis evaluated ten events (Desiree variety) transformed with a hairpin-type construct, containing the RNA interference system (RNAi), it will keep active and constant the formation of dsRNA between the homology sequence of transgene and PLRV. The events were characterized by PCR and Southern blot; they had in their genome from one to two copies of the transgene. Serological tests of DAS-ELISA selected four events with high resistance (low or zero concentrations of PLRV) during primary, secondary and tertiary infection. Finally, it was determined by Northern Blot that the resistance to PLRV is related to the presence of fragments of small interference RNA (siRNA) formed from the mechanism of RNAi. -- KEY WORDS: Potato, transformation, PLRV, RNAi, siRNA.
