Bipartite system, method and composition for the constitutive and inducible expression of high levels of foreign proteins in plants

摘要

This invention comprises a combined transgene/virus vector system for the expression of heterologous proteins in plants. While exemplified with respect to the bipartite RNA plant virus, Cowpect mosaic virus (CPMV), other bipartite viral systems may be used to advantage according to the method, system and composition described in detail herein.
