Plant viruses are a group of intracellular pathogens that persistently threaten global food
security. Significant advances in plant virology have been achieved by Chinese scientists …

In the arms race between plants and viruses, two frontiers have been utilized for decades to
combat viral infections in agriculture. First, many pathogenic viruses are excluded from plant …

Plant RNA virus‐based guide RNA (gRNA) delivery has substantial advantages compared
to that of the conventional constitutive promoter‐driven expression due to the rapid and …

Autophagy is a conserved defense strategy against viral infection. However, little is known
about the counterdefense strategies of plant viruses involving interference with autophagy …

Abstract Background N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common RNA modification in
eukaryotes and has been implicated as a novel epigenetic marker that is involved in various …

The plant antioxidant system plays important roles in response to diverse abiotic and biotic
stresses. However, the effects of virus infection on host redox homeostasis and how …

Autophagy plays an important role in plant antiviral defense. Several plant viruses are
reported to encode viral suppressor of autophagy (VSA) to prevent autophagy for effective …

Vacuolar acidification is essential for vacuoles in diverse physiological functions. However,
its role in plant defense, and whether and how pathogens affect vacuolar acidification to …

Chloroplasts are multifunctional organelles whose morphology is affected by environmental
stresses. Although the three-dimensional (3D) architecture of thylakoid membranes has …

Jasmonic acid (JA) is a crucial hormone in plant antiviral immunity. Increasing evidence
