Over a hundred years of research on plant viruses has led to a detailed understanding of viral replication, movement, and host-virus interactions. The functions of vast viral genes have also been annotated. With an increased understanding of plant viruses and plant-virus interactions, various viruses have been developed as vectors to modulate gene expressions for functional studies as well as for fulfilling the needs in biotechnology. These approaches are invaluable not only for molecular breeding and functional genomics studies related to pivotal agronomic traits, but also for the production of vaccines and health-promoting carotenoids. This review summarizes the latest progress in these forefronts as well as the available viral vectors for economically important crops and beyond.
对植物病毒的研究已有一百多年的历史,这使得我们对病毒的复制、运动和宿主-病毒相互作用有了详细的了解。大量病毒基因的功能也已被注释。随着对植物病毒和植物-病毒相互作用的深入了解,各种病毒已被开发为载体,用于调节基因表达,以进行功能研究以及满足生物技术的需求。这些方法不仅对于与关键农艺性状相关的分子育种和功能基因组学研究具有重要价值,而且对于疫苗和促进健康的类胡萝卜素的生产也具有重要价值。本文综述了这些前沿领域以及用于重要经济作物及其他作物的现有病毒载体的最新进展。
