▪ Abstract Populations of plant viruses, like all other living beings, are genetically
heterogeneous, a property long recognized in plant virology. Only recently have the …

RNA-RNA recombination is one of the strongest forces sha** the genomes of plant RNA
viruses. The detection of recombination is a challenging task that prompted the development …

Motivation: To devise a method that, unlike available methods, directly measures variations
in phylogenetic signals in gene sequences that result from recombination, tests the …

WRKY transcription factors are key players in the plant immune response, but less is known
about their involvement in antiviral defense than about their roles in defense against …

Background In agroecosystems, viruses are well known to influence crop health and some
cause phytosanitary and economic problems, but their diversity in non-crop plants and role …

We have developed an efficient, versatile, and user-friendly viral engineering and
expression system that is based on in planta assembly of functional viral vectors from …

In tomato, infections by tomato mosaic virus are controlled by durable Tm-2 2 resistance. In
order to gain insight into the processes underlying disease resistance and its durability, we …

Plant viruses are widespread in nature, where they operate in intimate association with their
hosts and often with vectors. Most research on plant viruses to the present has focused on …

Tobamoviruses are among the most well-studied plant viruses and yet there is still a lot to
uncover about them. On one side of the spectrum, there are damage-causing members of …

The evolution over the past century of two tobamoviruses infecting populations of the
immigrant plant Nicotiana glauca in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, has been studied …
