Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the development and use of Closterovirus-based vectors for the delivery of nucleotides to plants. Specifically, the present disclosure provides viral vectors based on Grapevine leafroll-associated virus-2 for the delivery and expression of genes in plants, particularly grape plants. Methods of making and using these vectors, as well as the plants transformed by these vectors, are also contemplated.
