Strategies for virus resistance in plants.
Virus infections of plants are controlled and suppressed naturally by the action of resistance genes encoded within the plant, by interactions between viruses or even as a result of the activity of functions encoded by or associated with the virus itself. These various regulatory processes are now being manipulated for the genetic engineering of virus resistance.
