The majority of plant-infecting viruses are transmitted to their host plants by vectors. The
interactions between viruses and vector vary in duration and specificity but some common …

▪ Abstract Retrotransposons are mobile genetic elements that transpose through reverse
transcription of an RNA intermediate. Retrotransposons are ubiquitous in plants and play a …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly transmissible
coronavirus responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic. Herein, we provide evidence …

Genetic resistance to plant viruses has been used for at least 80 years to control agricultural
losses to viral diseases. To date, hundreds of naturally occurring genes for resistance to …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a physiological cell death process involved in the selective
elimination of unwanted cells (Ellis et al., 1991). In animals, these unwanted cells include …

In most eukaryotes, double‐stranded RNA is processed into small RNAs that are potent
regulators of gene expression. This gene silencing process is known as RNA silencing or …

Macromolecular trafficking within the sieve element–companion cell complex, phloem
unloading, and post-phloem transport were studied using the jellyfish green fluorescent …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most important fruit crop worldwide. Commercial
cultivars are greatly affected by a large number of pathogenic microorganisms that cause …

The cell wall is a complex structure mainly composed by a cellulose–hemicellulose network
embedded in a cohesive pectin matrix. Pectin is synthesized in a highly methyl esterified …

Systemic translocation of RNA exerts non-cell-autonomous control over plant development
and defense. Long-distance delivery of mRNA has been proven, but transport of small …
