Open AccessA papain-like cysteine protease-released small signal peptide confers wheat resistance to wheat yellow mosaic virus
Wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV), a soil-borne pathogen, poses a serious threat to global wheat production. Here, we identify a WYMV resistance gene, TaRD21A, that belongs to the papain-like cysteine protease fam...

Open AccessAdvances in understanding the soil-borne viruses of wheat: from the laboratory bench to strategies for disease control in the field
In China, soil-borne viruses transmitted by the root parasite Polymyxa graminis have caused significant yield loss in winter wheat for many years. At present, it is believed that two main soil-borne RNA viruses, ...

Open AccessIdentification and functional analyses of host factors interacting with the 17-kDa protein of Barley yellow dwarf virus-GAV
Barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs) cause significant economic losses on barley, wheat, and oats worldwide. 17-kDa protein (17K) of BYDVs plays a key role in viral infection in plants, whereas the underlying r...

Open AccessTransgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants expressing a hairpin RNAi construct of a nematode Rs-cps gene exhibit enhanced resistance to Radopholus similis
Burrowing nematodes (Radopholus similis) cause severe harm in many agronomic and horticultural crops and are very difficult to manage. Cathepsin S is one of the most important cysteine proteinases and plays key r...
