Potyvirus is the largest genus of plant viruses causing significant losses in a wide range of
crops. Potyviruses are aphid transmitted in a nonpersistent manner and some of them are …

Understanding the changes affecting the plant cell wall is a key element in addressing its
functional role in plant growth and in the response to stress. Pectins, which are the main …

Potyviruses represent one of the most economically important and widely distributed groups
of plant viruses. Despite considerable progress towards understanding the cellular and …

The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of salicylic acid (SA) signalling in Ny-1-
mediated hypersensitive resistance (HR) of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to Potato virus Y …

Background Phytoplasmas are bacteria without cell walls from the class Mollicutes. They are
obligate intracellular plant pathogens which cause diseases in hundreds of economically …

Endophytic plant-growth-promoting microorganisms can protect plants against pathogens,
but they have rarely been investigated as potential biocontrol agents and triggers of induced …

Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) of complementary DNA is now a
standard method for studies of gene expression. However, qPCR can identify genuine …

Potato virus Y (PVY) is among the most economically important plant pathogens. Using
cryoelectron microscopy, we determined the near-atomic structure of PVY's flexuous virions …

Hypersensitive response (HR)‐conferred resistance is associated with induction of
programmed cell death and pathogen spread restriction in its proximity. The exact role of …

Background Solanum commersonii is a wild potato species that exhibits high tolerance to
both biotic and abiotic stresses and has been used as a source of genes for introgression …
