▪ Abstract Populations of plant viruses, like all other living beings, are genetically
heterogeneous, a property long recognized in plant virology. Only recently have the …

Research on the molecular biology of cucumoviruses and their plant-virus interactions has
been very extensive in the last decade. Cucumovirus genome structures have been …

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 …

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an RNA plant virus with a tripartite genome and an
extremely broad host range. Previous evolutionary analyses with the coat protein (CP) and …

This work provides evidence of the significant contribution of recombination to the genetic
diversification of emerging begomovirus populations. In southern Spain, Tomato yellow leaf …

▪ Abstract A variety of noncirculatively transmitted viruses have evolved a vector
transmission strategy that involves, in addition to virions, virus-encoded proteins that are not …

Amongst the Closteroviridae, Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is almost unique in possessing a
number of distinct and characterized strains, isolates of which produce a wide range of …

An account is given of the ecology of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) as a pertinent example
of how a virus can affect the sustainability of an important crop. It is now generally accepted …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the stable transfer of genetic material from one organism to
another without reproduction or human intervention. Transfer occurs by the passage of …

RNA recombination is a major driving force in the evolution and genetic architecture shaping
of enteroviruses. In particular, intertypic recombination is implicated in the emergence of …
