Viruses infect all cellular life forms and cause various diseases and significant economic
losses worldwide. The majority of viruses are positive-sense RNA viruses. A common …

The crosstalk between brassinosteroid (BR) and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling is crucial for
plant growth and defense responses. However, the detailed interplay between BRs and JA …

Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD), caused by various species of the genus Fijivirus,
threatens maize production worldwide. We previously identified a quantitative locus qMrdd1 …

Auxin plays a fundamental role in plant growth and development, and also influences plant
defence against various pathogens. Previous studies have examined the different roles of …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a multifaceted role in plant immunity and can either increase
resistance or increase susceptibility to some bacterial and fungal pathogens depending on …

Summary SCF (Skp1/Cullin1/F‐box) complexes are key regulators of many cellular
processes. Viruses encode specific factors to interfere with or hijack these complexes and …

Plasmodesmata (PD) are cytoplasmic canals that facilitate intercellular communication and
molecular exchange between adjacent plant cells. PD-associated proteins are considered …

Viruses are obligatory parasites that depend on host cellular factors for their replication as
well as for their local and systemic movement to establish infection. Although myosin motors …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs which typically function by guiding
cleavage of target mRNAs. They play important roles in development, abiotic stress and …

Endoplasmic reticular (ER) membrane modifications play an important role in viral RNA
replication and virion assembly but little is known about the involvement of ER-membrane …
