A Distinct Arabidopsis Latent Virus 1 Isolate Was Found in Wild Plants and Bees, Suggesting the Potential Involvement of Pollinators in Virus Spread.

During our search for aphid-pathogenic viruses, a comovirus was isolated from wild asymptomatic (white mustard) plants harboring a dense population of aphids. The transmission-electron-microscopy visualization of purified virions revealed icosahedral particles. The virus was mechanically transmitted to plants belonging to , , and families, showing unique ringspot symptoms only on var.

Synthesis and Characterization of Durable Antibiofilm and Antiviral Silane-Phosphonium Thin Coatings for Medical and Agricultural Applications.

Pathogens such as bacteria and viruses cause disease in a range of hosts, from humans to plants. Bacterial biofilms, communities of bacteria, e.g.

Rapid defense mechanism suppression during viral- oomycete disease complex formation.

Combined infection of the host plant with pathogens involving different parasitic lifestyles may result in synergistic effects that intensify disease symptoms. Understanding the molecular dynamics during concurrent infection provides essential insight into the host response. The transcriptomic pattern of cucumber plants infected with a necrotrophic pathogen, , and a biotrophic pathogen, Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) was studied at different time points, under regimes of single and co-infection.
