Plant viruses cause significant losses in agricultural crops worldwide, affecting the yield and
quality of agricultural products. The emergence of novel viruses or variants through genetic …

To confer resistance against pathogens and pests in plants, typically dominant resistance
genes are deployed. However, because resistance is based on recognition of a single …

Members of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) gene family, including eIF4E and
its paralogue eIF (iso) 4E, have previously been identified as recessive resistance alleles …

Cucumber is an economically important crop as well as a model system for sex
determination studies and plant vascular biology. Here we report the draft genome …

Advances in molecular biology including genomics, high-throughput sequencing, and
genome editing enable increasingly faster and more precise cultivar development …

Plant viruses recruit cellular translation factors not only to translate their viral RNAs but also
to regulate their replication and potentiate their local and systemic movement. Because of …

Recent studies on plant immunity have suggested that a pathogen should suppress induced
plant defense in order to infect a plant species, which otherwise would have been a nonhost …

The use of genetic resistance is considered to be the most effective and sustainable
approach to the control of plant pathogens. Although most of the known natural resistance …

The ability of plant viruses to propagate their genomes in host cells depends on many host
factors. In the absence of an agrochemical that specifically targets plant viral infection cycles …

Cucurbitaceae is one of the most genetically diverse plant families in the world. Many of
them are important vegetables or medicinal plants and are widely distributed worldwide. The …
