Systemic and Phloem-Specific Protein Targeting by High Affinity Nanobodies Expressed From a Plant RNA Virus Vector. [PDF]
This proof‐of‐concept study, with validation by pull‐down assays and FRET‐FLIM measurements, establishes a platform for targeting proteins in the phloem by nanobodies expressed from a viral vector. ABSTRACT The emergence of nanobodies (Nbs) has kindled an avid interest for their use in genetic engineering and plant biotechnology.

High-Throughput Sequencing Detects a Viral Complex in <i>Agave Tequilana</i> Plants. [PDF]
Agave tequilana Weber var. Azul is one of the most economically important species in Mexico because of its use in the production of tequila. Recently, young agave plants in commercial plantations in the state of Jalisco and agave ornamental plants have been observed to have symptoms of yellow streaks and mottle like those caused by viruses.

The BvMYB1 transcription factor activates betalain biosynthesis in members of Caryophyllales and, by virus‐derived expression, allows visualization of virus spread by the naked eye. Abstract In the field of plant virology, the usage of reverse genetic systems has been reported for multiple purposes.

Migrating populations of the aphid vector, Myzus persciae, have moderate to low intrinsic predictability. Field populations are stochastic, regardless of neonicotinoid seed treatment presenting a problem for decision‐support. Abstract Background Sugar beet is threatened by virus yellows, a disease complex vectored by aphids that reduces sugar content ...
