Abstract:
Control of grapevine virus and phytoplasma diseases
is currently based on prophylactic measures and cultural
practices. Certification programs aim to avoid the introduction
of diseased grapevines into healthy vineyards,
and cultural practices aim to reduce the populations
of virus vectors to limit virus spread. These approaches
however are of limited effectiveness. Additionally,
there is no host resistance to viruses in grapevine
identified so far. Genetic engineering provides new approaches
to develop pathogen-resistant grapevines.
Transgenic grapevines expressing virus-derived genes
that can confer resistance have been obtained in several
laboratories. The viral coat protein gene has been the
most commonly used to engineer resistance. More recently,
new approaches based on gene silencing, specifically
triggering plant defence mechanisms, have opened
new ways to engineer pathogen resistance in grapevines.
The possibilities, benefits and advantages, but also the
risks involved with the introduction of transgenic
grapevines in the field, as well as their acceptability, are
discussed in this review.
