Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an important virus because of its agricultural impact in the
Mediterranean Basin and worldwide, and also as a model for understanding plant–virus …

Viruses are common agents of plant infectious diseases. During last decades, worldwide
agriculture production has been compromised by a series of epidemics caused by new …

Plant viruses are biotrophic pathogens that need living tissue for their multiplication and
thus, in the infection–defence equilibrium, they do not normally cause plant death. In some …

As channels that provide cell-to-cell connectivity, plasmodesmata are central to the local and
systemic spread of viruses in plants. This review discusses the current state of knowledge of …

Prunus spp. are affected by a large number of viruses, causing significant economic losses
through either direct or indirect damage, which results in reduced yield and fruit quality …

Plant viruses use plasmodesmata (PD) to spread infection between cells and systemically.
Dependent on viral species, movement through PD can occur in virion or non-virion form …

Plant viruses cannot exploit any of the membrane fusion-based routes of entry described for
animal viruses. In addition, one of the distinctive structures of plant cells, the cell wall, acts as …

The avirulence determinant triggering the resistance conferred by the tomato gene Sw‐5
against T omato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is still unresolved. Sequence comparison showed …

The N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) pathway has been widely described as a viral regulatory
mechanism in animals. We previously reported that the capsid protein (CP) of alfalfa mosaic …

Ilarviruses were among the first 16 groups of plant viruses approved by ICTV. Like Alfalfa
mosaic virus (AMV), bromoviruses, and cucumoviruses they are isometric viruses and …
