“…Virus resistance is due to the phenomenon of post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTG) given by the insertion of a transgene-multicopy complex and aberrant copies of the virus coat protein (PPV-CP) (Scorza et al, 1994;Ravelonandro et al, 2000;Scorza et al, 2001).…”

This review is an overview of traditional and modern breeding methodologies being used to develop new Prunus cultivars (stone fruits) with major emphasis on peach, sweet cherry and Japanese plum. To this end, common breeding tools used to produce seedlings, including in vitro culture tools, are discussed. Additionally, the mechanisms of inheritance of many important agronomical traits are described. Recent advances in stone fruit transcriptomics and genomic resources are providing an understanding of the molecular basis of phenotypic variability as well as the identifi cation of allelic variants and molecular markers. These have potential applications for understanding the genetic diversity of the Prunus species, molecular marker-assisted selection and transgenesis. Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) molecular markers are described as useful tools to describe genetic diversity in peach, sweet cherry and Japanese plum. Additionally, the recently sequenced peach genome and the public release of the sweet cherry genome are discussed in terms of their applicability to breeding programs.

“…Transgenic papaya resistant to Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) was recently deregulated (GONSALVES 1998). This technology applied to control viruses of fruit trees (RAVELONANDRO et al 2000) and vegetables (PANG et al 2000;THOMAS et al 1997) increase not only yield but also contribute to the reduced use or even elimination of chemicals to control aphid vectors (PHILIPPS & PARK 2002). A few virus-resistant transgenic plants have been deregulated in the USA (Table 1).…”

Plant viruses cause severe damage and significant economic losses to agriculture. Control of virus usually consist of the elimination of virus vectors (insects, nematodes, fungi, etc), improvement of the sanitary status of the propagation material, the use of resistance sources in breeding programs. The application of the pathogen-derived resistance strategy has opened new avenues to protect plants against viruses. Two molecular mechanisms seem to underlie the engineered protection, the virus transgene-derived protein and the transgene-RNA interference. A few examples that support the efficiencies of these two molecular mechanisms are reviewed here and discussed in light of the potential use of virusresistant transgenic plants in agriculture.

“…Countries with a low incidence of disease limit PPV spread by removing infected trees and through the use of certified virus-free materials [20]. For the others, the only way to solve this problem is to cultivate resistant varieties [12].…”
