“…Alongside these major developments in plant virus genomederived transgenes there has been sustained interest in other virus-dependent (parasitic) RNA or DNA sequences with the capacity to ameliorate symptoms and/or to cause reduced virus replication and to increase plant tolerance, resistance or even immunity. Specifically these include satellite RNAs Gerlach et al, 1987;Ponz et al, 1987;Jacquemond et al, 1988;Roossinck et al, 1992;McGarvey et al, 1994;Kurath and Dodds, 1994), defective interfering (DI) RNAs (Hillman et al, 1987;Li et al, 1989;Burgyan et al, 1989;Jones et al, 1990;Marsh et al, 1991a, b;De Oliveira Resende et al, 1991Yie et al, 1992;Yie and Tien, 1993;White and Morris, 1994) or DNAs (Stanley et al, 1990;Frischmuth and Stanley, 1991;Stenger,1994) and ribozyme (Uhlenbeck, 1987;Haseloff and Gerlach, 1988;Symons, 1991;Mazzolini et al, 1992;Edington et al, 1992;Steinecke et al, 1992;L'Huillier et al, 1992) sequences connected to viral antisense arm sequences (10-20 nucleotides) for binding to a target site.…”
