Abstract

Cross-protection in plants is the phenomenon whereby a plant preinoculated with a mild virus strain becomes resistant to subsequent inoculation by a related severe strain. It has been used on a large scale in cases where no resistant plants are available. Although several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the molecular mechanism underlying cross-protection, no single hypothesis can account for all the data obtained. Recently, a phenomenon akin to cross-protection has been achieved in transformed plants harboring the cDNA of a part of a viral RNA genome. These results obtained by genetic engineering raise new hopes for obtaining plants resistant to virus infection.

The games plant viruses play
2014, Current Opinion in Virology
Citation Excerpt :
From a more practical perspective, evolutionary game theory may contribute to better understand the foundations of cross-protection. Cross-protection describes the phenomenon by which infection with a mild strain protects against subsequent infection from a severe one of a closely related virus [1,44]. Genetically modified plants do not perform as well as expected against viral infections.
Mixed virus infections in plants are common in nature. The outcome of such virus–virus interactions ranges from cooperation and coexistence (synergism) to mutual exclusion (antagonism). A priori, the outcome of mixed infections is hard to predict. To date, the analyses of plant virus mixed infections were limited to reports of emerging symptoms and/or to qualitative, at best quantitative, descriptions of the accumulation of both viruses. Here, we show that evolutionary game theory provides an adequate theoretical framework to analyze mixed viral infections and to predict the long-term evolution of the mixed populations.
RNA Repubilcation of Plant Viruses Containing an RNA Genome
1992, Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology
This chapter discusses the current knowledge of viral RNA replication. It presents both in vivo and in vitro data. The discussion in the chapter is restricted to those viruses for which RdRp complex has been isolated, irrespective of whether the enzyme requires exogenous RNA for its activity, and thus initiates and elongates complementary RNA chains, or whether it still retains RNA molecules (whose synthesis was initiated in vivo), and thus only elongates these RNA chains. RNA replication of viruses with a tripartite RNA genome, such as brome mosaic virus (BMV), cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and alfalfa mosaic virus (AlMV), is described in the chapter, followed by the replication of viruses with a monopartite genome. These include turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), then cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) with a bipartite genome. RNA replication of velvet tobacco mottle virus (VTMoV) is last because of the limited information available on the replication mechanism of its RNA. The enzymes isolated from the first five viruses presented (BMV, CCMV, CMV, AIMV, and TYMV) are capable not only of elongating but also of initiating (–)–RNA strand synthesis because they are devoid of endogenous RNA; the RdRp's of the last three viruses (TMV, CPMV, and VTMoV) are only capable of elongating chains whose synthesis has been initiated in vivo.
