Yellow dwarf viruses are the most economically important and widespread viruses of cereal
crops. Although they share common biological properties such as phloem limitation and …

Poleroviruses are economically important plant viruses that infect cereal, vegetable, and fruit
crops, and cause serious yield and quality losses worldwide. In this review we summarize …

For the last century we have relied on model organisms to help understand fundamental
biological processes. Now, with advancements in genome sequencing, assembly, and …

Viruses manipulate the cells they infect in order to replicate and spread. Due to strict size
restrictions, viral genomes have reduced genetic space; how the action of the limited …

Of the various proteins encoded by plant viruses, one of the most interesting is the
movement protein (MP). MPs are unique to plant viruses and show surprising structural and …

Pathogen infection triggers complex signaling networks in plant cells that ultimately result in
either susceptibility or resistance. We have made substantial progress in dissecting many of …

Maize yellow mosaic virus (MaYMV) hosted in various gramineous plants was assigned to
the genus Polerovirus (family Luteoviridae) in 2018. However, little is known about its …

Viruses explore the potential multifunctional capacity of the proteins encoded in their
compact genome to establish infection. P4 of luteoviruses has emerged as one such …

Most plant viruses code for movement proteins (MPs) targeting plasmodesmata to enable
cell-to-cell and systemic spread in infected plants. Small membrane-embedded MPs have …

The Luteoviridae are pathogenic plant viruses responsible for significant crop losses
worldwide. They infect a wide range of food crops, including cereals, legumes, cucurbits …
