In plants, communication and molecular exchanges between different cells and tissues are
dependent on the apoplastic and symplastic pathways. Symplastic molecular exchanges …

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 …

Our current understanding of plant viruses stems largely from those affecting economically
important plants. Yet plant species in cultivation represent a small and biased subset of the …

Functional regulation and structural maintenance of the different organelles in plants
contribute directly to plant development, reproduction and stress responses. To ensure …

Plasmodesmata (PD) are thought to play a fundamental role in almost every aspect of plant
life, including normal growth, physiology, and developmental responses. However, how …

Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels that are located in the plant cell wall and that
physically interconnect the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of adjacent cells …

Global seed trade contributed to development and improvement of world agriculture. An
adverse effect of global seed trade is reflected in disease outbreaks in new growing areas …

Multicellularity differs in plants and animals in that the cytoplasm, plasma membrane, and
endomembrane of plants are connected between cells through plasmodesmal pores …

To survive as sedentary organisms built of immobile cells, plants require an effective
intercellular communication system, both locally between neighbouring cells within each …

Plant viruses are a class of plant pathogens that specialize in movement from cell to cell. As
part of their arsenal for infection of plants, every virus encodes a movement protein (MP), a …
