Conteúdo: | The recent development of gene transfer technologies to plants has made it possible to transfer useful traits to a number of crop plants. Among the different possibilities, virus resistance is probably one of the most successful applications of plant genetic engineering. When used to complement current breeding programs, these technologies have the potential to help control plant viruses and consequently to decrease the impact of plant viruses on crop productivity. During the past 6 years different molecular approaches have been developed to attempt to control viruses, some of which are still under investigation in laboratories, while others have reached the field-testing level. This paper briefly reviews these different approaches, discussing the state of development, the efficacy, and the stability of each concept for controlling viruses by genetic engineering. Particular emphasis is placed on coat protein-mediated resistance (CPMR) because of the success of this strategy and because of the large resource of data and examples now available derived from the use of this technique. The type of resistance obtained and the specttrum of protection produced is exposed, and the examples of viruses belonging to virus groups the members of which are infecting bananas are particularly detailed in order to evaluate the potential of application of the coat protein strategy for this crop.
