Objectives of the Course

The lesson has cover that genetically engineered virus resistant plants, besides classical control methods as a propagation of virus eliminated plant, exclusion of plant viruses, vector control to prevent of transmission, cross protection and breeding for resistance to plant virus.

Course Content

Biochemistry of resistance to plant viruses and mechanisms of resistance are explained. However coat protein , antisense RNA , replicase mediated resistance, ribozyme mediated resistance, satellite RNA mediated resistance and gene inactivation and alternative strategies for engineering virus resistance in plants are expressed.
