Zusammenfassung:Advances in gene transfer techniques for higher plants have already permitted important achievements towards crop protection and improvement using recombinant DNA technology. Besides plant genetic engineering, the possible use of plant viruses to express foreign genes could be of considerable interest to plant biotechnology. However, insuring containment of engineered viruses for environmental use is an important safety issue that must be addressed.
