Plants have evolved sophisticated surveillance and defense mechanisms against constant
attacks by different types of microbial pathogens including viruses. Nucleotide-based RNA …

Plants are persistently challenged by various phytopathogens. To protect themselves, plants
have evolved multilayered surveillance against all pathogens. For intracellular parasitic …

Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that have small genomes with limited coding
capacity; therefore, they extensively use host intracellular machinery for their replication and …

Over a period, plants have developed a sophisticated innate immune system to counter viral
infections, which resembles that of the nonviral pathogenic system in being broadly grouped …

Plant viruses, the simple obligate intracellular parasites with small genomes, rely entirely on
host machineries for their life cycle including replication, intracellular (cell-to-cell) and …

Viruses cause epidemics on all major cultures of agronomic importance, representing a
serious threat to global food security. As strict intracellular pathogens, they cannot be …

Background: Plants live in a dynamic environment subjected to frequent pathogenic and
environmental stresses and have evolved diverse self-defense pathways for their survival …

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