Potyviruses (viruses in the genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) constitute the largest group
of known plant-infecting RNA viruses and include many agriculturally important viruses that …

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 diseases can drastically abate the crop yields as the degree of disease outbreak is
getting severe around the world. Therefore, plant disease management has always been …

Plants have developed effective mechanisms to recognize and respond to infections caused
by pathogens. Plant resistance gene analogs (RGAs), as resistance (R) gene candidates …

Background Among the environmental limitations that affect plant growth, viruses cause
major crop losses worldwide and represent serious threats to food security. Significant …

Plants respond to pathogens using elaborate networks of genetic interactions. Recently,
significant progress has been made in understanding RNA silencing and how viruses …

Many disease resistance (R) proteins of plants detect the presence of disease-causing
bacteria, viruses, or fungi by recognizing specific pathogen effector molecules that are …

A large set of endogenous small RNAs of predominantly 21 to 24 nucleotides was identified
in Arabidopsis. These small RNAs resembled micro-RNAs from animals and were similar in …

Genetic resistance to plant viruses has been used for at least 80 years to control agricultural
losses to viral diseases. To date, hundreds of naturally occurring genes for resistance to …

▪ Abstract Currently, genetic variation is probably the most important basic resource for plant
biology. In addition to the variation artificially generated by mutants in model plants, naturally …
