Structural transitions and energy landscape for Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus capsid mechanics from nanomanipulation in vitro and in silico [PDF]
Physical properties of capsids of plant and animal viruses are important factors in capsid self-assembly, survival of viruses in the extracellular environment, and their cell infectivity. Virus shells can have applications as nanocontainers and delivery vehicles in biotechnology and medicine.

Plant viruses are mainly transmitted by insect vectors in the non-persistent, semi-persistent, or persistent modes. In the non-persistent mode, plant viruses are retained in the stylets of their insect vectors.

Application of Machine Learning in understanding plant virus pathogenesis: Trends and perspectives on emergence, diagnosis, host-virus interplay and management [PDF]
Inclusion of high throughput technologies in the field of biology has generated massive amounts of biological data in the recent years. Now, transforming these huge volumes of data into knowledge is the primary challenge in computational biology. The traditional methods of data analysis have failed to carry out the task.

No two without three: Modelling dynamics of the trio RNA virus-defective interfering genomes-RNA satellite [PDF]
Almost all viruses, regardless of their genomic material, produce defective viral genomes (DVG) as an unavoidable byproduct of their error-prone replication. Defective interfering (DI) elements are a subgroup of DVGs that have been shown to interfere with the replication of the wild-type (WT) virus.

The games plant viruses play [PDF]
Mixed virus infections in plants are common in nature. The outcome of such virus-virus interactions ranges from cooperation and coexistence (synergism) to mutual exclusion (antagonism). A priori, the outcome of mixed infections is hard to predict. To date, the analyses of plant virus mixed infections were limited to reports of emerging symptoms and/or ...

Effects of introduced and indigenous viruses on native plants: exploring their disease causing potential at the agro-ecological interface. [PDF]
The ever increasing movement of viruses around the world poses a major threat to plants growing in cultivated and natural ecosystems. Both generalist and specialist viruses move via trade in plants and plant products. Their potential to damage cultivated

Non-structural proteins of arthropod-borne bunyaviruses: roles and functions [PDF]
Viruses within the Bunyaviridae family are tri-segmented, negative-stranded RNA viruses. The family includes several emerging and re-emerging viruses of humans, animals and plants, such as Rift Valley fever virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus ...

Chemotherapy and Plant Viruses [PDF]
SUMMARY: When the guanine analogue, 5-amino-7-hydroxy-1-v-triazolo (d) pyrimidine (guanazolo), was sprayed on the leaves of tobacco or Nicotiana glutinosa plants it reduced the number of local lesions and delayed or inhibited systemic spread of lucerne mosaic virus.

Apoptosis in a Whitefly Vector Activated by a Begomovirus Enhances Viral Transmission
Apoptosis is generally considered the first line of defense against viral infection. However, the role of apoptosis in the interactions between plant viruses and their insect vectors has rarely been investigated.
