Many scientists, if not all, feel that their particular plant virus should appear in any list of the
most important plant viruses. However, to our knowledge, no such list exists. The aim of this …

The plant virus family Flexiviridae includes the definitive genera Potexvirus, Mandarivirus,
Allexivirus, Carlavirus, Foveavirus, Capillovirus, Vitivirus, Trichovirus, the putative genus …

Plant viruses use movement proteins (MPs) to modify intercellular pores called
plasmodesmata (PD) to cross the plant cell wall. Many viruses encode a conserved set of …

Several RNA virus genera belonging to the Virgaviridae and Flexiviridae families encode
proteins organized in a triple gene block (TGB) that facilitate cell-to-cell and long-distance …

As channels that provide cell-to-cell connectivity, plasmodesmata are central to the local and
systemic spread of viruses in plants. This review discusses the current state of knowledge of …

The Rx1 protein, as many resistance proteins of the nucleotide binding–leucine-rich repeat
(NB-LRR) class, is predicted to be cytoplasmic because it lacks discernable nuclear …

Potato virus X (PVX) requires three virally encoded proteins, the triple gene block (TGB), for
movement between cells. TGB1 is a multifunctional protein that suppresses host gene …

The last Hordeivirus review appearing in this series 20 years ago focused on the
comparative biology, relationships, and genome organization of members of the genus …

Recent advances in potexvirus research have produced new models describing virus
replication, cell-to-cell movement, encapsidation, R gene-mediated resistance and gene …

Plant viruses cannot exploit any of the membrane fusion-based routes of entry described for
animal viruses. In addition, one of the distinctive structures of plant cells, the cell wall, acts as …
