Silencing of the AV2 gene by antisense RNA protects transgenic plants against a bipartite begomovirus
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses (genus <it>Begomovirus</it>) are phytopathogens that cause heavy losses to crops worldwide. Efforts to engineer resistance against these viruses are focused mainly on silencing of complementary-sense virus genes invo...
