Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. Their genomes are usually small and only encode a few products that are essential to hijack host machinery for their nucleotide and protein biosynthesis, and that are necessary to suppress host immunity. Plants evolved multilayers of defense mechanisms to defeat viral infection. In this research topic, we gathered 13 papers covering recent advances in different aspects of plant immunity against viruses, including reviews on RNA silencing and R gene based immunity and their application, translational initiation factor mediated recessive resistance, genome editing based viral immunity, role of chloroplast in plant-virus interaction, and research articles providing new mechanistic insights on plant-virus interactions. We hope that this Research Topic helps readers to have a better understanding of the progresses that have been made recently in plant immunity against viruses. A deeper understanding of plant antiviral immunity will facilitate the development of innovative approaches for crop protections and improvements. 606 $aMicrobiology (non-medical)$2bicssc 610 $aChloroplast 610 $aCucumber mosaic virus 610 $aGenome editing 610 $aHormone 610 $aNBS-LRR 610 $aPlant Immunity 610 $aRecessive Resistance 610 $aRNA silencing 610 $aSoybean mosaic virus 610 $aVirus 615 7$aMicrobiology (non-medical) 700 $aYule Liu$4auth$01328793 702 $aJian-Zhong Liu$4auth 702 $aFeng Li$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910261136103321 996 $aPlant immunity against viruses$93040944 997 $aUNINA
