The changing climate poses significant threats to agriculture and the ability to ensure
sufficient global food production. With the expanding population, there is an urgent demand …

Viruses are obligate pathogens that entirely rely on their hosts to complete their infectious
cycle. The outcome of viral infections depends on the status of the host. Host developmental …

Disease resistance improvement remains a major focus in breeding programs as diseases
continue to devastate Brassica production systems due to intensive cultivation and climate …

Virus-like particles (VLPs) have been gaining attention as potential platforms for delivery of
cargos in nanomedicine. Although animal viruses are largely selected due to their …

Abstract An all-atom Molecular Dynamics (MD) study was applied to three viral
nanoparticles (VLPs) of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), a potyvirus: the particles genetically …

The viability of viral-derived nanoparticles (virions and VLPs) aimed to nanobiotechnological
functionalizations of the coat protein (CP) of turnip mosaic virus has been studied by means …

Within plant molecular farming (PMF), the use of viruses and virus-like particles (VLPs) is
increasingly gaining momentum due to the vast array of possibilities they offer. In addition to …

Characterizing the detailed spatial and temporal dynamics of plant pathogens can provide
valuable information for crop protection strategies. However, the epidemiological …

Nanoparticles derived from plant viruses play an important role in nanomedicine due to their
biocompatibility, self-assembly and easily-modifiable surface. In this study, we developed a …

Predators impact prey directly, through consumption, and indirectly, through non-
consumptive effects that modify prey physiology and behavior in ways that affect survival …
