Publisher Summary Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the type member of the cucumovirus
group, was first reported in 1916 as the causal agent of a disease of cucumber and …

Research on the molecular biology of cucumoviruses and their plant-virus interactions has
been very extensive in the last decade. Cucumovirus genome structures have been …

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an important virus because of its agricultural impact in the
Mediterranean Basin and worldwide, and also as a model for understanding plant–virus …

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an RNA plant virus with a tripartite genome and an
extremely broad host range. Previous evolutionary analyses with the coat protein (CP) and …

Many RNA viruses have genetically diverse populations known as quasispecies. Important
biological characteristics may be related to the levels of diversity in the quasispecies …

Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), a species of the genus Potyvirus, occurs worldwide. Seventy-six
isolates of TuMV were collected from around the world, mostly from Brassica and Raphanus …

Post‐transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a homology‐dependent RNA degradation
process that may target RNA exclusively in the cytoplasm. In plants, PTGS functions as a …

An account is given of the ecology of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) as a pertinent example
of how a virus can affect the sustainability of an important crop. It is now generally accepted …

Genetic bottlenecks are stochastic events that limit genetic variation in a population and
result in founding populations that can lead to genetic drift. Evidence of past genetic …

Short-hairpin RNAs based on microRNA (miRNA) precursors to express the artificial
miRNAs (amiRNAs) can specifically induce gene silencing and confer virus resistance in …
