[0002] Peppers and tomatoes are important solanaceous vegetable crops. In recent years, the occurrence of pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) has been increasing year by year. PMMoV infection causes the leaves of plants to become chlorotic and mottled, and growth to slow down, posing a serious threat to the high and stable yields of peppers and other crops.

Use of an inhibitor for reducing the content or activity of NbPABP protein in plants, characterized in that: Applications including any of the following: (1) Improve the resistance of plants to tobacco mosaic virus diseases; (2) Increase plant yield; (3) Prevent and control tobacco mosaic virus diseases; (4) Preparation of pesticides, fertilizers or additives for the prevention and treatment of tobacco mosaic virus diseases; The amino acid sequence of the Solanaceae plant NbPABP protein includes any one of the following: (a) as shown in SEQ ID NO.1; (b) a protein derived from SEQ ID NO.1 and retaining the function of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 by replacing, deleting and / or adding one or more amino acid residues of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1; (c) an amino acid sequence having at least 90% homology to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 and having an equivalent functional protein; (d) An amino acid sequence obtained by connecting a tag, an enzyme cleavage site and / or a connecting peptide sequence to the N-terminus and / or C-terminus of any one of the amino acid sequences of (a) to (c).

8. The use according to claim 7, characterized in that: The inhibitor can inhibit the expression or activity of NbPABP protein by inhibiting its transcription, inhibiting its transcription processing, and inhibiting its function after transcription processing. The inhibitor can be used as a pesticide, fertilizer or fertilizer additive.

9. A method for inhibiting the replication and proliferation of tobacco mosaic virus in plants, characterized in that: include: The content or activity of NbPABP protein is reduced through genetic engineering technology.

10. The use, product or method according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The plant or crop is a plant of the Solanaceae family, preferably a plant of the genus Nicotiana or Solanum, and more preferably tobacco, pepper, tomato, potato, eggplant or wolfberry.
