Plant viruses use cellular factors and resources to replicate and move. Plants respond to
viral infection by several mechanisms, including innate immunity, autophagy, and gene …

Plant positive-strand (+) RNA viruses are intracellular infectious agents that reorganize
subcellular membranes and rewire the cellular metabolism of host cells to achieve viral …

The sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) is the most important disease in sugarcane
produced in southern China. The SCSMV encoded protein 1 (P1SCSMV) is important in …

The poplar rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina is part of one of the most devastating
group of fungi (Pucciniales) and causes important economic losses to the poplar industry …

The F-box proteins belong to a family of regulatory proteins that play key roles in the
proteasomal degradation of other proteins. Plant F-box proteins are functionally diverse, and …

Plant viruses are responsible for losses in worldwide production of numerous economically
important food and fuel crops. As obligate cellular parasites with very small genomes …

Eukaryotic elongation factors (eEFs) are protein factors that mediate the extension of peptide
chain, among which eukaryotic elongation factor 1 alpha (eEF1A) is one of the most …

Targeted genome editing using CRISPR/Cas nucleases has become the standard approach

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is a member of Potyvirus genus that causes severe yield loss
and destroys seed quality in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. It is important to explore new …

Due to their limited coding capacity, plant viruses have to depend on various host factors for
successful infection of the host. Loss of function of these host factors will result in recessively …
