The Mystery of Virus Trafficking Into, Through and Out of Vascular Tissue

  • Chapter
Progress in Botany

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany ((BOTANY,volume 59))

Abstract

A simple way to look at the process of plant virus infection is as a board or computer game. The objective for the virus is to move from the site of inoculation throughout the rest of the host plant, replicating and accumulating at specific areas along the way. The host plant serves as the game board. To “win” this game, a virus must find the most efficient way to infect the entire plant. Since viruses encode only a portion of the proteins necessary for this challenge, they must enlist (i.e. usurp) plant host factors to aid them in this journey. They also must avoid defence mechanisms employed by the host to limit their systemic spread.
