Genetically engineered agricultural crops that resist viral and insect pathogens have been produced and tested under both environmentally controlled and field test conditions. Recent advances in creating plants that resist viruses, and plants that contain a bacterial protein, which confers selected
Genes that confer viral pathogen-derived resistance (PDR) include those for coat proteins, replicases, movement proteins, defective interfering RNAs and DNAs, and nontranslated RNAs. In addition to developing disease-resistant plant varieties for agriculture, PDR has increased the understanding of v
