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 …

Being sessile organisms, plants are constantly exposed to various kinds of environmental
stimuli. To survive under unfavorable environmental conditions they have evolved strategies …

Considering global climate change, the incidence of combined drought and heat stress is
likely to increase in the future and will considerably influence plant-pathogen interactions …

Nicotiana benthamiana is the most widely-used experimental host in plant virology. The
recent release of the draft genome sequence for N. benthamiana consolidates its role as a …

Temperature dramatically affects plant–virus interactions. Outbreaks of virus diseases are
frequently associated with low temperature, while at high temperature viral symptoms are …

▪ Abstract The feeding sites induced by sedentary root–endoparasitic nematodes have long
fascinated researchers. Nematode feeding sites are constructed from plant cells, modified by …

The interaction between the viral protein linked to the genome (VPg) of turnip mosaic
potyvirus (TuMV) and the translation eukaryotic initiation factor eIF (iso) 4E of Arabidopsis …

When infecting alone, Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV, genus Potyvirus) and
Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV, genus Crinivirus) cause no or only mild …

Systemic infections of plants by viruses require that viruses modify host cells in order to
facilitate infections. These modifications include induction of host factors required for …

Viruses induce a variety of responses in host cells that are mediated by perturbation of
different signaling pathways. Advances in our understanding of the functions of viral …
