Potyviruses (viruses in the genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) constitute the largest group
of known plant-infecting RNA viruses and include many agriculturally important viruses that …

Plant viruses cause significant losses in agricultural crops worldwide, affecting the yield and
quality of agricultural products. The emergence of novel viruses or variants through genetic …

Genome editing in plants has been boosted tremendously by the development of
CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology …

Viruses cause epidemics on all major cultures of agronomic importance, representing a
serious threat to global food security. As strict intracellular pathogens, they cannot be …

Crop plants are subjected to a variety of stresses during their lifecycle, including abiotic
stress factors such as salinity and biotic stress factors such as pathogens. Plants have …

Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses
in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are …

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 …

Recent studies on plant immunity have suggested that a pathogen should suppress induced
plant defense in order to infect a plant species, which otherwise would have been a nonhost …

The use of genetic resistance is considered to be the most effective and sustainable
approach to the control of plant pathogens. Although most of the known natural resistance …

About half of the∼ 200 known virus resistance genes in plants are recessively inherited,
suggesting that this form of resistance is more common for viruses than for other plant …
