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 …

Since their discovery, bacteriophages have been traditionally regarded as the natural
enemies of bacteria. However, recent advances in molecular biology techniques, especially …

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 …

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

As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses rely exclusively on the translational machinery of
the host cell for the synthesis of viral proteins. This relationship has imposed numerous …

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 …

About half of the∼ 200 known virus resistance genes in plants are recessively inherited,
suggesting that this form of resistance is more common for viruses than for other plant …

The eIF4E and eIF (iso) 4E cDNAs from several genotypes of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) that
are susceptible, tolerant, or resistant to infection by Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV; genus …

In recent years, researchers have adopted many new technologies to help understand
potyvirus pathogenesis. Their findings have illuminated key aspects of the interactions …

The great variety of genome organizations means that most plant positive strand viral RNAs
differ from the standard 5′-cap/3′-poly (A) structure of eukaryotic mRNAs. The cap and …
