Journal ArticleDOI

Viroids and viroid-host interactions.

TL;DR: Although they induce symptoms in plants similar to those accompanying virus infections, viroids have unique structural, functional, and evolutionary characteristics and could exert their pathogenic effects via RNA silencing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taxonomy of the order Bunyavirales : update 2019

Abulikemu Abudurexiti, +104 more
- 01 Jul 2019 - 
TL;DR: The updated taxonomy of the order Bunyavirales now accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small RNAs containing the pathogenic determinant of a chloroplast‐replicating viroid guide the degradation of a host mRNA as predicted by RNA silencing

TL;DR: It is determined that two PLMVd-sRNAs containing the PC-associated insertion target for cleavage the mRNA encoding the chloroplastic heat-shock protein 90 (cHSP90), thus implicating RNA silencing in the modulation of host gene expression by a viroid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local expression of enzymatically active class I β‐1, 3‐glucanase enhances symptoms of TMV infection in tobacco

TL;DR: The results provide the first direct evidence that a biological function of a plant beta-1,3-glucanase depends on its catalytic activity, and supports the view that GLU I induced locally during infection helps to promote cell-to-cell movement of virus by hydrolyzing callose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taxonomy of the family Arenaviridae and the order Bunyavirales: update 2018

Piet Maes, +103 more
- 21 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: The updated taxonomy of the family Arenaviridae and the order Bunyavirales is presented as now accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) and additional taxonomic proposals that may affect the order in the near future are summarized.
