The natural outcome of some plant–virus interactions is symptom recovery, which is
characterized by the emergence of asymptomatic leaves following a systemic symptomatic …

Production of transgenic plants is a routine process for many crop species. Transgenes are
introduced into plants to confer novel traits such as improved nutritional qualities, tolerance …

All characterized whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses (begomoviruses) with origins in the New
World (NW) have bipartite genomes composed of a DNA-A and DNA-B component …

ABSTRACT RNA silencing in plants is a natural defense system mechanism against
invading nucleic acids such as viruses. Geminiviruses, a family of plant viruses …

Geminiviruses are plant-infecting viruses characterized by a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)
genome. Geminivirus-derived proteins are multifunctional and effective regulators in …

Background PHYVV and PepGMV are plant viruses reported in Mexico and Southern US as
causal agents of an important pepper disease known as" rizado amarillo". Mixed infections …

Background Geminiviruses are a large and important family of plant viruses that infect a
wide range of crops throughout the world. The Begomovirus genus contains species that are …

Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (B cryptic species), transmits cucurbit leaf crumple virus
(CuLCrV) in a persistent fashion. CuLCrV affects several crops such as squash and snap …

This study aimed to demonstrate the existence of antiviral RNA silencing mechanisms in
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by infecting wild-type and RNA-silencing-deficient strains of the …

Recovery of plants from virus-induced symptoms is often described as a consequence of
RNA silencing, an antiviral defense mechanism. For example, recovery of Nicotiana …
