RNA silencing is a homology-dependent gene inactivation mechanism that regulates a wide
range of biological processes including antiviral defense. To deal with host antiviral …

In addition to providing a protective shell for genomic RNA (s), the coat (capsid) proteins
(CPs) of plus-stranded RNA viruses play a variety of other functions that condition the plant …

Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) is pandemic in tomato crops, causing important economic
losses world‐wide. No PepMV‐resistant varieties have been developed yet. Identification of …

The hyperosmolality‐gated calcium permeable channel 4.1 (OSCA4. 1) belongs to an
evolutionarily conserved small family of mechano‐sensitive channels. OSCA members may …

While recent pepino mosaic virus (PepMV; species Pepino mosaic virus, genus Potexvirus,
family Alphaflexiviridae) epidemics seem to be predominantly caused by isolates of the CH2 …

Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) is a single‐stranded (ss), positive‐sense (+) RNA potexvirus
that affects tomato crops worldwide. We have described an in planta antagonistic interaction …

Misfolded proteins after stress-induced denaturation can regain their functions through
correct re-folding with the aid of molecular chaperones. As a molecular chaperone, heat …

Cross‐protection was first described a century ago. In practical terms, cross‐protection
consists of the pre‐inoculation of plants with mild or attenuated viral isolates that protect the …

Most plant viruses rely on vector transmission for their spread and specific interactions
between vector and virus have evolved to regulate this relationship. The whitefly Bemisia …

ABSTRACT RNA viruses often depend on host factors for multiplication inside cells due to
the constraints of their small genome size and limited coding capacity. One such factor that …
