This review focuses on the extensive membrane and organelle rearrangements that have
been observed in plant cells infected with RNA viruses. The modifications generally involve …

Plant virus cell-to-cell movement and subsequent systemic transport are governed by a
series of mechanisms involving various virus and plant factors. Specialized virus encoded …

Intercellular transport of viruses through cytoplasmic connections, termed plasmodesmata
(PD), is essential for systemic infection in plants by viruses. Previous genetic and …

In plants, mounting an effective innate immune strategy against microbial pathogens
involves triggering local cell death within infected cells as well as boosting the immunity of …

The order Picornavirales includes several plant viruses that are currently classified into the
families Comoviridae (genera Comovirus, Fabavirus and Nepovirus) and Sequiviridae …

Plasmodesmata (PD) are essential but poorly understood structures in plant cell walls that
provide symplastic continuity and intercellular communication pathways between adjacent …

Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) is a plant comovirus in the picornavirus superfamily, and is
used for a wide variety of biomedical and material science applications. Although its …

Plant viruses use plasmodesmata (PD) to spread infection between cells and systemically.
Dependent on viral species, movement through PD can occur in virion or non-virion form …

Plasmodesmata (PD) are essential for intercellular trafficking of molecules required for plant
life, from small molecules like sugars and ions to macromolecules including proteins and …

Plant viruses cannot exploit any of the membrane fusion-based routes of entry described for
animal viruses. In addition, one of the distinctive structures of plant cells, the cell wall, acts as …
