Virus resistant plants can be developed by using pathogen
derived resistance (PDR). PDR based on cross protection and
antisense approach has long been employed in the management
of viral diseases in plants. In case of begomoviruses, expression
of viral coat protein (CP), replicase and movement proteins has
been proved to be more promising (Yang et al., 2004). The CP
mediated resistance has been successfully applied to numerous
crop species (Prins, 2003; Pang et al., 2000).
