Fig. 3

Simplified diagram of a plant viral based expression vector. TMV virus has been taken here as a model virus for viral vector construction illustrations. The figure have been adapted from Liu et al. [56]. a- Viral expression vector constructions based on the full virus strategy, upper part: the gene of interest is under the control of TMV CP promoter. Lower part: the gene of interest expression is governed by a new promoter. b- Vector construction based on the deconstructed virus strategy. ORFs are labeled in each box. MP: movement protein, CP: coat protein, GOI: gene of interest, arrow: promoter
