TLDR
Genome sequencing will be critical to fully characterize the genetic diversity in WCM and WSMV populations to better understand the occurrence of WCM-transmitted viruses and to evaluate the potential stability of resistance genes.Abstract:
Wheat curl mite (WCM) is the only known arthropod vector of four wheat viruses, the most important of which is Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV). Host resistance to WCM and WSMV is limited to a small number of loci, most of which are introgressed from wild relatives and are often associated with linkage drag and temperature sensitivity. Reports of virulent WCM populations and potential resistance-breaking WSMV isolates highlight the need for more diverse sources of resistance. Genome sequencing will be critical to fully characterize the genetic diversity in WCM and WSMV populations to better understand the incidence of WCM-transmitted viruses and to evaluate the potential stability of resistance genes. Characterizing host resistance genes will help build a mechanistic understanding of wheat-WCM-WSMV interactions and inform strategies to identify and engineer more durable resistance sources.read more

Translation initiation factors: a weak link in plant RNA virus infection
TL;DR: Recessive resistance genes against plant viruses have been recognized for a long time but their molecular nature has only recently been linked to components of the eukaryotic translation initiation complex, and particularly the eif4E and eIF4G protein families were found to be essential determinants in the outcome of RNA virus infections.
