Development of modular geminivirus-based vectors for high cargo expression and gene targeting in plants

Matthew Neubauer, Katie Vollen, Chengsong Zhao, José Trinidad Ascencio‐Ibáñez, Linda K. Hanley-Bowdoin, Anna N. Stepanova, José M. Alonso

The paper develops a modular geminivirus-based vector system for improved protein expression and gene targeting in plants, showing that native promoters and removal of virion-sense genes enhance reporter expression without affecting replicon accumulation.
