Plant viruses pose significant challenges to agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability worldwide. These infectious agents exhibit a diverse array of genomic organisations and infection ...

New RNA-based active agents reliably protect plants against the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the most common virus in ...

Individually tailored RNA or DNA-based molecules are able to reliably fight off viral infections in plants, according to a new study. The researchers were able to fend off a common virus using the new ...

Compatible virus–host interactions depend on a suitable milieu in the host cells permitting viral gene expression, replication, and spread. During pathogenesis, viruses hijack the plant cellular ...

Mapping out where these RNA viruses are found globally can help scientists understand how they interact with organisms driving the planet's ecological processes. DevizK via Wikimedia Commons under CC ...

New RNA-based active agents reliably protect plants against the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the most common virus in agriculture and horticulture. They were developed by researchers at the Martin ...

During a viral infection, the plant’s cells are hijacked by the virus to multiply itself. Key products of this process are viral RNA molecules that serve as blueprints for the production of proteins. ...
