Sequencing and biological characterization of historical cynosurus mottle virus isolates from Germany
We report sequencing of four historical cynosurus mottle virus (CnMoV) isolates, originating from different hosts and locations. The CnMoV genome, ranging from 4417 to 4419 nt, encodes five ORFs. It shares 48....

Open AccessThe Tomato yellow leaf curl virus V2 protein forms aggregates depending on the cytoskeleton integrity and binds viral genomic DNA
The spread of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) was accompanied by the formation of coat protein (CP) aggregates of increasing size in the cytoplasm and nucleus of infected tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cells...

Viral Studies Point the Way: Mechanisms of Intercellular Transport
Plant development depends on the intercellular transport of macromolecules through gatable channels in the cell wall known as plasmodesmata (PD). Plant viruses exploit this intercellular trafficking pathway to...

Cellular pathways for viral transport through plasmodesmata
Plant viruses use plasmodesmata (PD) to spread infection between cells and systemically. Dependent on viral species, movement through PD can occur in virion or non-virion form, and requires different mechanism...
