Gene amplification and expression in plants by a replicating geminivirus vector

Gene amplification and expression in plants by a replicating geminivirus vector

The use of plant DNA viruses as vectors for the transfer of foreign genes to plants offers two potential advantages over other, existing methods of producing transgenic plants. This phenomenon is discussed.
