Potato virus X: a model system for virus replication, movement and gene expression

Abstract
Considerable research has focused on the cis‐ and trans‐acting components required for various aspects of the potato virus X (PVX) infection process. In addition, the development of PVX‐based vectors has facilitated analyses of the PVX infection process and provided diverse technological applications. As a result, the PVX system will continue to serve as a model for analyses of processes such as virus movement, RNA replication, and gene silencing, and as a tool for protein expression.
