▪ Abstract This article summarizes studies of viral coat (capsid) proteins (CPs) of RNA plant
viruses. In addition, we discuss and seek to interpret the knowledge accumulated to date …

To obtain virus-resistant host plants, a range of operational strategies can be followed
nowadays. While for decades plant breeders have been able to introduce natural resistance …

Plant viral vectors allow expression of heterologous proteins at high yields, but so far, they
have been unable to express heterooligomeric proteins efficiently. We describe here a rapid …

Plant viruses use movement proteins (MPs) to modify intercellular pores called
plasmodesmata (PD) to cross the plant cell wall. Many viruses encode a conserved set of …

Propagation of viral infection in host plants comprises two distinct and sequential stages:
viral transport from the initially infected cell into adjacent neighboring cells, a process termed …

The Rx1 protein, as many resistance proteins of the nucleotide binding–leucine-rich repeat
(NB-LRR) class, is predicted to be cytoplasmic because it lacks discernable nuclear …

The movement of pollen grains from anthers to stigmas, often by insect pollinator vectors, is
essential for plant reproduction. However, pollen is also a unique vehicle for viral spread …

Cassava common mosaic virus (CsCMV, genus Potexvirus) is a prevalent virus associated
with cassava mosaic disease, so it is essential to elucidate the underlying molecular …

The symplastic communication network established by plasmodesmata (PD) and connected
phloem provides an essential pathway for spatiotemporal intercellular signaling in plant …

The Arabidopsis flowering locus T (FT) gene encodes the mobile florigen essential for floral
induction. While movement of the FT protein has been shown to occur within plants …
