Self-Incompatibility in Apricot: Identifying Pollination Requirements to Optimize Fruit Production [PDF]
In recent years, an important renewal of apricot cultivars is taking place worldwide, with the introduction of many new releases. Self-incompatible genotypes tolerant to the sharka disease caused by the plum pox virus (PPV), which can severely reduce ...

Silencing of one copy of the translation initiation factor eIFiso4G in Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) impacts susceptibility to Plum pox virus (PPV) and small RNA production [PDF]
Background In plants, host factors encoded by susceptibility (S) genes are indispensable for viral infection. Resistance is achieved through the impairment or the absence of those susceptibility factors.

Development and Validation of One-Step Reverse Transcription-Droplet Digital PCR for Plum Pox Virus Detection and Quantification from Plant Purified RNA and Crude Extract [PDF]
Plum pox virus (PPV) is the etiological agent of sharka, the most important viral disease of stone fruit worldwide. In this study, a one-step reverse transcription real-time PCR test (RT-qPCR) was modified and translated as a one-step RT-droplet digital ...

Bayesian phylogenetic and recombination analyses of plum pox virus provide a refined vision of its evolutionary history [PDF]
Background The discovery of a plum tree isolate of plum pox virus (PPV, Potyvirus plumpoxi), done in Eastern Albania in 2011 in the frame of an EU-funded survey, which represents a divergent strain named PPV-An, proved to be original and informative for ...

ParPMC-mediated susceptibility to plum pox virus: vascular expression in Prunus armeniaca and functional validation through ortholog silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana [PDF]
Sharka disease, caused by the Potyvirus plumpoxi (plum pox virus, PPV), is the primary limiting factor for stone fruit production globally, and the development of PPV-resistant cultivars is the most effective long-term strategy for controlling this ...

Update on Distribution and Genetic Variability of Plum pox virus Strains in Bulgaria [PDF]
Field surveys for Plum pox virus (PPV) infection were conducted in stone fruit orchards all over Bulgaria. In total, 1168 out of 3020 leaf samples from cultivated Prunus spp. and wildly growing P.

Transgenic plum Prunus domestica L., clone C5 (cv. HoneySweet) for protection against sharka disease
Sharka caused by Plum pox virus (PPV) is the most harmful disease of stone fruits in Europe and elsewhere in the world. There is no highly PPV resistant cultivar of plum.

Resistance to Sharka in Apricot: Comparison of Phase-Reconstructed Resistant and Susceptible Haplotypes of ‘Lito’ Chromosome 1 and Analysis of Candidate Genes [PDF]
Sharka, a common disease among most stone fruit crops, is caused by the Plum Pox Virus (PPV). Resistant genotypes have been found in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), one of which—the cultivar ‘Lito’ heterozygous for the resistance—has been used to map a ...

Anti-tuberculosis effect of isoniazid scales accurately from zebrafish to humans. [PDF]
Background and Purpose There is a clear need for innovation in anti‐tuberculosis drug development. The zebrafish larva is an attractive disease model in tuberculosis research. To translate pharmacological findings to higher vertebrates, including humans, the internal exposure of drugs needs to be quantified and linked to observed response. Experimental

Tolerance of plant virus disease: Its genetic, physiological, and epidemiological significance
Plant viruses lead to biotic stress in plants, affecting growth, reproductive fitness and yield. Tolerance of viruses and virus disease may provide a host defence mechanism against deleterious effects, but further physiological and epidemiological studies are required to determine the circumstances in which it can be effectively used for crop ...
