Why is tobacco rattle virus a choice in agroinfection. In spite of the virus being of bipartite RNA nature the gene of interest is introduced only in one of the RNA before agroinfection. why so?

Huanting Liu

RNA-1 is capable of independent replication and systemic spread in plants, the others are not required and that is the reason only RNA-1 is introduced for agroinfection of plant hosts.
