Recent methodological advances have uncovered tremendous microbial diversity
cohabiting in the same host plant, and many of these microbes cause disease. In this review …

Double infections of related or unrelated viruses frequently occur in single plants, the viral
agents being inoculated into the host plant simultaneously (co‐infection) or sequentially …

During the past three decades, the economic impact of tospoviruses has increased, causing
high yield losses in a variety of crops and ornamentals. Owing to the difficulty in combating …

Reverse genetics systems have been established for all major groups of plant DNA and
positive-strand RNA viruses, and our understanding of their infection cycles and …

Multiple infections, either simultaneous or sequential, affecting a single plant or crop are
now recognized to be common in plant disease epidemics. These multiple infections thus …

Negative-strand (-) RNA viruses (NSVs) comprise a large and diverse group of viruses that
are generally divided in those with non-segmented and those with segmented genomes …

Positive-stranded RNA virus movement proteins (MPs) generally lack sequence-specific
nucleic acid-binding activities and display cross-family movement complementarity with …

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and
porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) share tropism for swine intestinal epithelial cells …

Orthotospoviruses are responsible for serious crop losses worldwide. Orthotospoviral
diseases have spread rapidly in China over the past 10 years and are now found in 19 …

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) causes severe losses of tomato crops worldwide. To cope
dynamically with such a threat, plants deploy strategies acting at the molecular and the …
