Lifestyles of plant viruses [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
The vast majority of well-characterized eukaryotic viruses are those that cause acute or chronic infections in humans and domestic plants and animals. However, asymptomatic persistent viruses have been described in animals, and are thought to be sources for emerging acute viruses. Although not previously described in these terms, there are

Geminivirus Rep Protein Interferes with the Plant DNA Methylation Machinery and Modifies the Host Epigenome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The apparent simplicity of viruses hides the complexity of their interactions with their hosts. Viruses are masters at circumventing host defenses and manipulating the cellular environment for their own benefit.

Potential and limitations of plant virus epidemiology: lessons from the Potato virus Y pathosystem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Plant virus epidemiology provides powerful tools to investigate key factors that contribute to virus epidemics in agricultural crops. When successful, epidemiological approaches help to guide decisions regarding plant protection strategies.

Viral coat proteins decrease the gene silencing activity of cognate and heterologous viral suppressors

open access: yesScientific Reports
Plant viruses have evolved different viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) to counteract RNA silencing which is a small RNA-mediated sequence-specific RNA degradation mechanism.

Bridging the Structural Gap: A Methodological Review of Cryo-Electron Microscopy for Underrepresented Viruses

open access: yesViruses
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has revolutionized structural virology, enabling routine structure determination at 2–4 Å resolution, with exceptional cases reaching 1.56 Å.

Repurposing Plant Virus Nanoparticles

open access: yesVaccines, 2018
Plants have been explored for many years as inexpensive and versatile platforms for the generation of vaccines and other biopharmaceuticals. Plant viruses have also been engineered to either express subunit vaccines or act as epitope presentation systems.

Network Analysis of the Papaya Orchard Virome from Two Agroecological Regions of Chiapas, Mexico

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
The study of complex ecological interactions, such as those among host, pathogen, and vector communities, can help to explain host ranges and the emergence of novel pathogens. We evaluated the viromes of papaya orchards, including weed and insect viromes,

Boosting plant immunity with CRISPR/Cas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
CRISPR/Cas has recently been transferred to plants to make them resistant to geminiviruses, a damaging family of DNA viruses. We discuss the potential and the limitations of this method.See related Research: http://www.genomebiology.com/2015/16/1 ...

Production, characterization, and antigen specificity of recombinant 62-71-3, a candidate monoclonal antibody for rabies prophylaxis in humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Rabies kills many people throughout the developing world every year. The murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) 62-71-3 was recently identified for its potential application in rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP).

Stability of recombinant plant viruses containing genes of unrelated plant viruses

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 2007
The stability of hybrid plant viruses that might arise by recombination in transgenic plants was examined using hybrid viruses derived from the viral expression vectors potato virus X (PVX) and tobacco rattle virus (TRV). The potato virus Y (PVY) NIb and HCPro open reading frames (ORFs) were introduced into PVX to generate PVX-NIb and PVX-HCPro, while ...
