Plant Virus Replication Cycles
- In contrast to animal viruses and bacteriophages, plant viruses infect cells by {{c1::mechanisms that do not involve specific membrane receptors}}
- Entry of plant viruses into host cells usually require {{c1::mechanical transmission}}, nonspecific access through physical damage to tissues
- Most plant viruses enter by one of three routes:
- Vector (aphid) {{c1::feed off plants}}
- Contact with {{c1::damage tissue}}
- Transmission through {{c1::seed}}
