Abstract: The paper briefly discussed the strategies in genetic engineering for plant resistance to viral diseases in recent years. These strategies include host-gene-mediated resistance strategies and pathogen-derived resistance strategies, which include viral coat protein gene, movement protein gene, replicase gene, satellite RNA, antisense RNA, and defective interfering RNA. In addition, antibody gene, ribozyme and in terferon also have the ability to confer resistance against plant viruses. Meanwhile, resistance mechanisms and the perspective of application of each strategy were briefly discussed.
