%X <i>Odontoglossum ringspot virus</i> (ORSV)
infects perennial orchids (<i>Phalaenopsis amabilis</i>) and
causes a widespread viral disease. RNA-silencing of viral genes is a promising
and effective way of controlling viral infection in plants. An inverted repeat
(IR) fragment of the ORSV coat protein gene, <i>cp</i>, was inserted into the pXGY1 vector to
generate the silencing construct, pXGY1-ORSV, which was introduced into <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i>
