Potyvirus is the largest genus of plant viruses causing significant losses in a wide range of
crops. Potyviruses are aphid transmitted in a nonpersistent manner and some of them are …

A successful infection by a plant virus results from the complex molecular interplay between
the host plant and the invading virus. Thus, dissecting the molecular network of virus-host …

In many crop species, natural variation in eIF 4E proteins confers resistance to potyviruses.
Gene editing offers new opportunities to transfer genetic resistance to crops that seem to …

The use of genetic resistance is considered to be the most effective and sustainable
approach to the control of plant pathogens. Although most of the known natural resistance …

One of the core standards of biochemistry is that the function of a protein relies on its 3D
structure. This idea posits that all the information required for a protein to perform its …

About half of the∼ 200 known virus resistance genes in plants are recessively inherited,
suggesting that this form of resistance is more common for viruses than for other plant …

Amino acid substitutions in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) result in
recessive resistance to potyviruses in a range of plant species, including Capsicum spp …

The central role of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) in controlling mRNA
translation has been clearly assessed in the last decades. eIF4E function is essential for …

Induced mechanisms are by definition imperceptible or less active in uninfected, unstressed,
or untreated plants, but can be activated by pathogen infection, stress, or chemical treatment …

Globally, virus diseases are common in agricultural crops and have a major agronomic
impact. They are countered through the deployment of genetic resistance against the virus …
