Propagation of viral infection in host plants comprises two distinct and sequential stages:
viral transport from the initially infected cell into adjacent neighboring cells, a process termed …

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 …

Plant virus cell-to-cell movement and subsequent systemic transport are governed by a
series of mechanisms involving various virus and plant factors. Specialized virus encoded …

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 …

Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) is one of a large class of plant viruses whose cell-to-cell
transport involves the passage of virions through tubules composed of virus-encoded …

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 …

In the family Bromoviridae, a mixture of the three genomic RNAs of bromo-, cucumo-, and
oleaviruses is infectious as such, whereas the RNAs of alfamo-and ilarviruses require …
