Eukaryotes and bacteria can be infected with a wide variety of RNA viruses. On average,
these pathogens share little sequence similarity and use different replication and …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is used to analyze gene function in dicotyledonous
plants but less so in monocotyledonous plants (particularly rice and corn), partially due to …

The control of transgene expression is vital both for the elucidation of gene function and for
the engineering of transgenic crops. Given the dominance of the Triticeae cereals in the …

Arrays of> 5,000 Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins were screened to identify proteins that
can preferentially bind a small RNA hairpin that contains a clamped adenine motif (CAM). A …

Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) is a ribosome-inactivating protein isolated from the
pokeweed plant (Phytolacca americana) that inhibits the proliferation of several plant and …

Brome mosaic virus (BMV) packages its genomic and subgenomic RNAs into three separate
viral particles. BMV purified from barley, wheat, and tobacco have distinct relative …

Viruses with separately encapsidated genomes could have their genomes introduced into
different leaves of a plant, thus necessitating long-distance trafficking of the viral RNAs for …

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPP) can translocate across the cell membrane and have been
extensively studied for the delivery of proteins, nucleic acids, and therapeutics in …

The 3′ untranslated region in each of the three genomic RNAs of Brome mosaic virus
(BMV) is highly homologous and contains a sequence that folds into a tRNA-like structure …

The four encapsidated RNAs of brome mosaic virus (BMV; B1, B2, B3, and B4) contain a
highly conserved 3′ 200-nucleotide (nt) region encompassing the tRNA-like structure (TLS) …
