This review focuses on the extensive membrane and organelle rearrangements that have
been observed in plant cells infected with RNA viruses. The modifications generally involve …

The tombusviruses are among the most extensively studied messenger-sensed RNA plant
viruses. Over the past decade, there have been numerous important advances in our …

Geminivirus infection often causes severe vein clearing symptoms in hosts. Recently a
betasatellite has emerged as a key regulator of symptom induction. To understand the host …

Single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses induce the biogenesis of cytoplasmic
membranous vesicles, where viral replication takes place. However, the mechanism …

Replication of plus-stranded RNA viruses is performed by the viral replicase complex, which,
together with the viral RNA, must be targeted to intracellular membranes, where replication …

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was fused to the potato virus X (PVX) TGBp2
gene, inserted into either the PVX infectious clone or pRTL2 plasmids, and used to study …

Highlights•Plant viruses are important modulators of primary metabolism in infected
cells.•Viruses induce sink metabolism, photosynthesis repression and enhanced …

Crop loss due to viral diseases is still a major problem for agriculture today. We present a
strategy to achieve virus resistance based on the expression of single-chain Fv fragments …

Infection by Grapevine fanleaf nepovirus (GFLV), a bipartite RNA virus of positive polarity
belonging to the Comoviridae family, causes extensive cytopathic modifications of the host …

Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV), a tombusvirus with a nonsegmented, plus-stranded RNA
genome, codes for two essential replicase proteins. The sequence of one of the replicase …
