Article Synopsis
- Viral diseases, particularly the sweet potato virus 2 (SPV2), are major threats to sweet potato crops globally, with SPV2 being a primary pathogen.
- Researchers detected a new isolate of SPV2 (SPV2-LN) in a plant called Ipomoea nil in China, analyzing its complete genome and comparing it to existing isolates.
- The study found that the SPV2-LN genome has specific characteristics and similarities to another isolate, which could help in understanding and managing sweet potato viral diseases better.
Chloroplasts play an indispensable role in the arms race between plant viruses and hosts. Chloroplast proteins are often recruited by plant viruses to support viral replication and movement. However, the mechanism by which chloroplast proteins regulate potyvirus infection remains largely unknown.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTomato cultivars containing the Tm-2 resistance gene have been widely known to resist tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and tomato mosaic virus. Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), a new emerging tobamovirus, can infect tomato plants carrying the Tm-2 gene. However, the virulence determinant of ToBRFV that overcomes the resistance conferred by the Tm-2 gene remains unclear.
