A multifunctional RNA having self-processing activity, the preparation thereof and the use thereof Host cells can be transformed so that they express ribozyme RNA and antisense RNA which are connected with each other via a spacer. The RNA molecules can, for example, be complementary to a certain viral RNA. Plants which have been transformed with genes coding for RNA of this type show a significantly improved resistance to viruses.
