Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for conferring herbicide, pest, and disease resistance in plant hosts. Specifically, the present invention employs transient viral expression vectors to express proteins or enzymes conferring resistance in plant hosts. In addition, a library of nucleotide sequence variants in a sense or antisene orientation may be used to determine the targets of an herbicide or pathogen and to screen suitable viral nucleic acids for herbicide, pest, and disease resistance.
