Scavenging H2O2 of plant host by saliva catalase of leafhopper vector benefits viral transmission

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 6, Page 2368-2384, September 2024.
Summary Catalase (CAT) is the main reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐scavenging enzyme in plants and insects. However, it remains elusive whether and how insect saliva CAT suppresses ROS‐mediated plant defense, thereby promoting initial virus transmission by insect vectors. Here, we investigated how leafhopper Recilia dorsalis catalase (RdCAT) was secreted

Cytoskeleton‐associated gelsolin responds to the midgut distention process in saline meal‐fed Aedes aegypti and affects arbovirus dissemination from the midgut

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 38, Issue 14, 31 July 2024.
Mosquito midgut distention during blood meal ingestion is the suggested mechanism allowing arboviruses in the blood meal to overcome the midgut escape barrier. We conducted a whole‐proteome analysis with mosquitoes that had ingested a saline meal, causing temporal distention of the midgut epithelium, to identify candidate proteins involved in the ...

Nucleotide sequences of genome segments S8, encoding a capsid protein, and S10, encoding a 36K protein, of rice gall dwarf virus

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 1991
The nucleotide sequences of DNAs complementary to the eighth (S8) and the tenth (S10) largest of the 12 genome segments of rice gall dwarf virus (RGDV) were determined. The S8 and S10 segments consist of 1578 and 1198 nucleotides, each with a single open reading frame extending for 1278 nucleotides from nucleotide 21, and 960 nucleotides from ...

Evidence that avian reovirus σNS is an RNA chaperone: implications for genome segment assortment. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Reoviruses are important human, animal and plant pathogens having 10-12 segments of double-stranded genomic RNA. The mechanisms controlling the assortment and packaging of genomic segments in these viruses, remain poorly understood.

Pest categorisation of Thecaphora solani [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the fungus Thecaphora solani, the causal agent of smut of potato, for the EU. The identity of the pest is well established and reliable methods exist for its detection and identification.
