A Versatile Expression Platform in Insects and Cereals Based on a Cytorhabdovirus

Methods Mol Biol. 2022:2400:163-170. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-1835-6_16.

Abstract

In recent years, plant virus-based vectors have been widely applied to express heterologous proteins for genomic studies and commercial production. Among these versatile RNA viral vectors, the barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV)-based expression vector system has outstanding capability to express large and multiple heterologous proteins. Here we describe a detailed protocol for expression of heterologous proteins using BYSMV expression systems in monocot plants and insects.

Keywords: Barley yellow striate mosaic virus; Monocot plants; RNA viral vectors.
