RNA pseudoknots are structural elements found in almost all classes of RNA. First
recognized in the genomes of plant viruses, they are now established as a widespread motif …

Multipartite viruses have one of the most puzzling genetic organizations found in living
organisms. These viruses have several genome segments, each containing only a part of …

The majority of positive-strand RNA viruses of plants replicate and selectively encapsidate
their progeny genomes into stable virions in cytoplasmic compartments of the cell where the …

The packaging of genomic RNA in positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses is a key part
of the viral infectious cycle, yet this step is not fully understood. Unlike double-stranded DNA …

There is an increasing interest in the use of plant viruses as vehicles for anti-cancer therapy.
In particular, the plant virus brome mosaic virus (BMV) and cowpea chlorotic mottle virus …

The replication of eukaryotic positive-strand RNA virus genomes occurs through a complex
process involving multiple viral and host proteins and intracellular membranes. Here we …

The genome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) contains cis-acting replication elements (CREs)
comprised of RNA stem-loop structures located in both the 5′ and 3′ noncoding regions …

Nanotechnology is an expanding interdisciplinary field concerning the development and
application of nanostructured materials derived from inorganic compounds or organic …

To begin elucidation of the relationship between Brome mosaic virus (BMV) replication and
encapsidation, we used a T-DNA-based Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression …

Positive-strand RNA viruses are the most common type of plant virus. Many aspects of the
reproductive cycle of this group of viruses have been studied over the years and this has led …
