Haplotype-phased 'Ottawa 3' genome unravels differential reaction of apple rootstock roots to mixed viral infection. [PDF]
SUMMARY Viral diseases pose a significant threat to global apple (Malus spp.) production. While selecting appropriate rootstocks is a crucial strategy to mitigate their effects, the underlying mechanisms governing rootstock tolerance or sensitivity to viral infection at the root level remain underexplored.

First Detection and Molecular Characterization of Apple Stem Grooving Virus, Apple Chlorotic Leaf Spot Virus, and Apple Hammerhead Viroid in Loquat in Spain [PDF]
Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is an important crop in Spain. To date, only one viral species, apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), has been detected in Spanish loquat orchards. In this study, the presence of additional viruses infecting this crop in Spain was

Field detection of multiple RNA viruses/viroids in apple using a CRISPR/Cas12a-based visual assay. [PDF]
Summary Co‐infection of apple trees with several viruses/viroids is common and decreases fruit yield and quality. Accurate and rapid detection of these viral pathogens helps to reduce losses and prevent virus spread. Current molecular detection assays used for apple viruses require specialized and expensive equipment. Here, we optimized a CRISPR/Cas12a‐

The functions of triple gene block proteins and coat protein of apple stem pitting virus in viral cell-to-cell movement. [PDF]
TGBp3 of apple stem pitting virus plays a key role in the intracellular traffic along actin networks to the plasma membrane and the plasmodesmal targeting of TGBp2/TGBp1/CP/vRNA‐containing vRNPs by interacting with TGBp2. Abstract Apple stem pitting virus is a species in the genus Foveavirus in the family Betaflexiviridae.
