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 …

Plant viruses are biotrophic pathogens that need living tissue for their multiplication and
thus, in the infection–defence equilibrium, they do not normally cause plant death. In some …

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 …

Plant virus infection involves the production of viral small RNAs (vsRNAs) with the potential
to associate with distinct Argonaute (AGO)-containing silencing complexes and mediate …

The tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV)(genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae)
represents an important constraint to tomato production, as it causes the most predominant …

Background Symptoms of grapevine leafroll disease (GLRD) in red-fruited wine grape (Vitis
vinifera L.) cultivars consist of green veins and red and reddish-purple discoloration of inter …

Viruses induce a variety of responses in host cells that are mediated by perturbation of
different signaling pathways. Advances in our understanding of the functions of viral …

The characterization of natural recessive resistance genes and virus‐resistant mutants of
Arabidopsis have implicated translation initiation factors of the 4E family [eIF4E and eIF (iso) …

We report here evidence of the role that the isoform of the eukaryotic translation initiation
factor 4G (eIF (iso) 4G) plays in naturally occurring resistance in plant/virus interactions. A …

Higher plants and some algae convert the absorbed light into chemical energy through one
of the most important organelles, chloroplast, for photosynthesis and store it in the form of …
