Popis: Viral diseases cause significant crop losses and a deterioration in the quality of agricultural products. There are currently no direct methods with antiviral agents to protect plants from viruses circulating in agroecosystems. Control measures focus on the selection of varieties that are resistant to viral diseases, the improvement of varieties via the cultivation of apical meristems, and control of the number of insect vectors. The review describes modern approaches to plant protection against viruses via genome editing, regulation of the expression of the host plant and/or viral genes via RNA interference, and the formation of an artificial consortium of plants with rhizospheric and/or endophytic microorganisms that combine protective activity and immunomodulating potential.
