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 …

While a large number of negative-strand (−) RNA viruses infect animals and humans, a
relative small number have plants as their primary host. Some of these have been classified …

RNA silencing or post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in plants is known as a defense
system against virus infection. Several plant viruses have been shown to encode an RNA …

The accumulation of two proteins, the nucleocapsid (N) protein and a non-structural (NSs)
protein both encoded by the S RNA of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), was followed in …

Posttranscriptional silencing of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene in Nicotiana
benthamiana plants was suppressed when these plants were infected with Tomato spotted …

Taxonomy: Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is the type member of the plant‐infecting
Tospovirus genus in the family Bunyaviridae, a large group of predominantly vertebrate‐and …

The complete sequence of the tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) M RNA segment has been
determined. The RNA is 4821 nucleotides long and has an ambisense coding strategy …

The nucleotide sequences of the nucleoprotein (N) genes of seven tospovirus isolates
representing three serogroups were determined and used to establish phylogenetic …

ABSTRACT A new tospovirus was identified in iris cultivations in the Netherlands. Both
serological comparisons and sequence determination of the S RNA demonstrate that this …

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is one of the most important diseases affecting tomatoes,
occasionally leading to losses of up to 100%. Because of the importance of this virus …
