Abstract Models of plant-virus interaction assume that the ability of a virus to infect a host
genotype depends on the matching between virulence and resistance genes. Recently, we …

The pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens infects a broad range of plants, introducing the T-
DNA into their genome. Contrary to all known bacterial phytopathogens, A. tumefaciens …

In terms of functional genomics research, Nicotiana benthamiana, more so than other model
plants, is highly amenable to high-throughput methods, especially those employing virus …

Plant diseases are destructive and threaten virtually any crop grown on a commercial scale.
They are kept in check by plant breeding strategies that have introgressed disease …

Host factors are crucial determinants of viral pathogenicity. Identifying host factors and their
contributions to virus infections may lead to the development of novel antiviral strategies …

Deficiency of multiple RNA silencing-associated genes may contribute to the increased
susceptibility of Nicotiana benthamiana to viruses | Plant Cell Reports Skip to main content …

Background The allotetraploid tobacco species Nicotiana benthamiana native to Australia
has become a popular host for recombinant protein production. Although its usage grows …

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is a negative-stranded RNA virus that infects hundreds of
plant species, causing great economic loss. Infected Arabidopsis thaliana plants develop …

Background The genes of plants can be up-or down-regulated during viral infection to
influence the replication of viruses. Identification of these differentially expressed genes …

Abstract The Solanaceae species Nicotiana tabacum, an economically important crop plant
cultivated worldwide, is an allotetraploid species that appeared about 200,000 years ago as …
