The Mechanism of Resistance of EUROPEAN Plum to Plum pox virus Mediated by Hypersensitive Response Is Linked to VIRAL NIa and Its Protease Activity [PDF]
Plum pox virus (PPV) infects Prunus trees across the globe, causing the serious Sharka disease. Breeding programs in the past 20 years have been successful, generating plum varieties hypersensitive to PPV that show resistance in the field.

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.

The Effect of Viral Infection on the Growth of HoneySweet GM Plum Trees [PDF]
Plum pox virus (PPV) is one of the most destructive pathogens affecting stone fruit trees. It causes sharka disease and severe yield losses. The genetically modified plum cultivar ‘HoneySweet’ was developed to provide long-lasting resistance to PPV via ...

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 ...

Plum pox virus: An overview of the potyvirus behind sharka, a harmful stone fruit disease
Plum pox virus is a member of the genus Potyvirus in the family Potyviridae. The significance of this virus is underscored by its large strain diversity, wide host range, broad geographical distribution and the great socio‐economic impact of sharka, the disease it causes. Abstract The study of Potyvirus plumpoxi (plum pox virus, PPV) has a long history,

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 ...
