A virus that usually infects black-eyed peas is now showing promise as a powerful, low-cost cancer treatment. Researchers at ...

For the study, the researchers developed a novel method for identifying key RNA characteristics that can be used to fight Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), which is a worldwide and deadly plant virus ...

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 ...

They found that the plant viruses all have a protein shell that activates receptors, called toll-like receptors, that are on the surface of immune cells. But what’s unique about cowpea mosaic virus is ...

ABSTRACT Roles of Arabidopsis Cyclin-Dependent Kinase C Complexes in Cauliflower Mosaic Virus Infection, Plant Growth, and Development Xiaofeng Cui, Baofang Fan, James Scholz, and Zhixiang Chen The ...

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 ...

Scientists at ORNL have developed a first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, inside plant cells using a technique that results in a visible fluorescent signal. The technology can ...

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. ...
