The discovery of the first non-cellular infectious agent, later determined to be tobacco
mosaic virus, paved the way for the field of virology. In the ensuing decades, research …

Water is a fundamental necessity for people's well-being and the ecosystem's sustainability;
however, its toxicity due to agrochemicals usage for food production leads to the …

We report the biological and structural characterization of umbravirus-like associated RNAs
(ulaRNAs), a new category of coat-protein dependent subviral RNA replicons that infect …

Upon virus infections, the rapid and comprehensive transcriptional reprogramming in host
plant cells is critical to ward off virus attack. To uncover genes and defense pathways that …

The genomics era has revolutionized studies of adaptive evolution by monitoring large
numbers of loci throughout the genomes of many individuals. Ideally, the investigation of …

This article is part of the Top 10 Unanswered Questions in MPMI invited review series. We
consider the state of knowledge on pathogen evolution of novel virulence activities, broadly …

The relevance of tobamoviruses to crop production is increasing due to new emergences,
which cannot be understood without knowledge of the tobamovirus host range and host …

Many studies have shown that virus infection alters phytohormone signaling and insect
vector contact with hosts. Increased vector contact and movement among plants should …

Tobamoviruses have been pioneers in understanding the population genetic structure, host-
vector interactions, and evolutionary processes of viruses. To better understand the …

The evolution and diversification of ssRNA plant viruses are often examined under
reductionist conditions that ignore potentially much wider biotic interactions. The host range …
