Open AccessPharmaceuticals in treated wastewater induce a stress response in tomato plants
Pharmaceuticals remain in treated wastewater used to irrigate agricultural crops. Their effect on terrestrial plants is practically unknown. Here we tested whether these compounds can be considered as plant st...

Open AccessTaking advantage of a pathogen: understanding how a virus alleviates plant stress response
The simplicity of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) genome, encoding six proteins only, contrasts with the complexity of its impact on tomato plants. In this review, we discuss our understanding of how TYLCV ...

Article
The six Tomato yellow leaf curl virus genes expressed individually in tomato induce different levels of plant stress response attenuation
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a begomovirus infecting tomato plants worldwide. TYLCV needs a healthy host environment to ensure a successful infection cycle for long periods. H...

Open AccessCorrection: Corrigendum: Tomato yellow leaf curl virus infection mitigates the heat stress response of plants grown at high temperatures
Scientific Reports 6: Article number: 19715; Published online: 21 January 2016; Updated: 11 May 2016 The original version of this Article contained errors in the spelling of the authors Ghandi Anfoka, Adi Mosh...

Open AccessTomato yellow leaf curl virus infection mitigates the heat stress response of plants grown at high temperatures
Cultured tomatoes are often exposed to a combination of extreme heat and infection with Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). This stress combination leads to intense disease symptoms and yield losses. The respo...

The Involvement of HSP70 and HSP90 inTomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Infection in Tomato Plants and Insect Vectors
Cellular chaperones HSP70 and HSP90 are involved in Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) infection. TYLCV is a begomovirus transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci to tomato and other crops. In infected tomato...

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...

Insect Symbiotic Bacterial GroEL (Chaperonin 60) and Plant Virus Transmission
GroEL is a multifunctional protein belonging to the conspicuous family of chaperones active in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. GroEL of Escherichia coli is a heat shock-like protein (Hsp60). It is involved in t...

A developmentally regulated lipocalin-like gene is overexpressed in Tomato yellow leaf curl virus-resistant tomato plants upon virus inoculation, and its silencing abolishes resistance
To discover genes involved in tomato resistance to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), we previously compared cDNA libraries from susceptible (S) and resistant (R) tomato lines. Among the genes preferentially ...

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus infection of a resistant tomato line with a silenced sucrose transporter gene LeHT1 results in inhibition of growth, enhanced virus spread, and necrosis
To identify genes involved in resistance of tomato to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), cDNA libraries from lines resistant (R) and susceptible (S) to the virus were compared. The hex...

Expressing a whitefly GroEL protein in Nicotiana benthamiana plants confers tolerance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus and cucumber mosaic virus, but not to grapevine virus A or tobacco mosaic virus
Transgenesis offers many ways to obtain virus-resistant plants. However, in most cases resistance is against a single virus or viral strain. We have taken a novel approach based on the ability of a whitefly en...

Chapter
Biotic and Abiotic Stress Responses in Tomato Breeding Lines Resistant and Susceptible to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus
In the eyes of a tomato grower, resistance to TYLCV, as opposed to susceptibility, is defined by the absence of, or mild, disease symptoms, and acceptable yield. In resistant cultivars and breeding lines, the ...

Site-specific recombination in Arabidopsis plants promoted by the Integrase protein of coliphage HK022
The gene encoding the wild type Integrase protein of coliphage HK022 was integrated chromosomally and expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Double-transgenic plants cloned with the int gene as well as with a ...
