Abstract
Infectious cDNA clones are now indispensible tools for the genetic analysis of viral factors involved in viral virulence and host resistance. In addition, infectious cDNA-derived virus vectors that express foreign genes in infected plants enable the production of useful proteins at low cost and can confer novel crop traits. We constructed infectious cDNA clones derived from two potyviruses, Clover yellow vein virus and Bean yellow mosaic virus, which infect legume plants and cause disease. Here, we present our procedure for constructing these potyvirus infectious clones.
