Abstract
- With the development of techniques for the introduction of foreign genes into plant cells and the regeneration of transgenic plants, a number of different approaches have been taken to attempt to produce resistance to virus diseases. Those most commonly used have been (1) the expression of antisense RNAs; (2) the expression of satellite RNAs and defective interfering RNAs and DNAs; and (3) the expression of genes encoding viral capsid (coat) proteins. Of these the latter has been generally accepted because of its ready application to control a variety of virus diseases in a number of different crops. Because we recently published a review of the current state of the field (Beachy et al, 1990) this brief review will highlight the status of the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
