Tospoviruses Induce Small Interfering RNAs Targeting Viral Sequences and Endogenous Transcripts in Solanaceous Plants [PDF]
Tospoviruses infect numerous crop species worldwide, causing significant losses throughout the supply chain. As a defence mechanism, plants use RNA interference (RNAi) to generate virus-derived small-interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs), which target viral ...

Insights Into Virus-Encoded RNA Silencing Suppressors Across Viral Families: A Focus on Viruses Infecting Solanaceae Crops. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) are proteins that interfere with antiviral defense mechanisms and enhance infection. For plant viruses, VSRs can be encoded in viral genomes and satellite molecules and play an important role in the virus's life cycle and in overcoming host defenses.

Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus Modulates the Expression of Innate Immune, Endocytosis, and Cuticle Development-Associated Genes to Circulate and Propagate in Its Vector, Thrips palmi [PDF]
Thrips palmi (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is the predominant tospovirus vector in Asia-Pacific region. It transmits economically damaging groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV, family Tospoviridae) in a persistent propagative manner.

Five questions on the cell-to-cell movement of Orthotospoviruses [PDF]
Plant viruses employ Movement proteins (MP) for their cell to cell spread through plasmodesmata (PD). MP modifies the PD and increases its size exclusion limit (SEL).

Tospoviruses (Family Bunyaviridae, Genus Tospovirus)
Viruses in the genus Tospovirus cause significant worldwide crop losses. The genus name is derived from the name of its first member, Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). Initially observed in Australia in 1915, the spotted wilt disease of tomato was later

Antiviral RISC mainly targets viral mRNA but not genomic RNA of tospovirus. [PDF]
Antiviral RNA silencing/interference (RNAi) of negative-strand (-) RNA plant viruses (NSVs) has been studied less than for single-stranded, positive-sense (+)RNA plant viruses.

N Protein of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus Proven to Be Antagonistic Against Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus in Nicotiana benthamiana. [PDF]
N protein of tomato spotted wilt virus reduces the expression of the key protein V1 of tomato yellow leaf curl virus in co‐transfected Nicotiana benthamiana, through affecting host energy metabolism‐related pathways. ABSTRACT Two phylogenetically unrelated viruses transmitted by different insect vectors, tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and tomato ...
