Papaya

Engineering Resistance against Papaya ringspot virus by Native, Chimeric and Synthetic Transgenes

  • Chapter
Virus and Virus-like Diseases of Major Crops in Developing Countries

Abstract

The case of transgenic papayas resistant to Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) is a paradigm in the control of a plant pathogen: from the conventional strategies to the more sophisticated use of recombinant DNA technologies, the engineered papayas have served as an example in the use of novel approaches to protect crop plants against plant viruses, and as a model system to transfer the technology to several different countries. PRSV-resistant transgenic papayas were the first commercialized transgenic fruit on a worldwide basis. It is also the only case in which the genetic engineering of the coat protein (CP) gene has led to the development of plants with varying degrees of resistance through the use of different entire CP genes in different programs and countries around the world.
