This Update reviews how virus-encoded suppres- sors of RNA silencing are currently being used in cer- tain areas of plant research and biotechnology. Keeping within the scope of this special Focus issue, an empha- sis is placed on the use of gene vectors for expression of suppressors in plants. Toward the end of this re- view, a discussion is presented on how the choice of vector system may influence the functionality of sup- pressors and the occurrence of side effects. The pur- pose of this brief review is to illustrate, for a general audience of biologists, how individual properties of viral-encoded suppressors might affect their perfor- mance in plants when expressed by heterologous vectors.
