Article Synopsis
- Broad bean wilt virus 1 (BBWV-1) is a bipartite RNA virus affecting various crops, with RNA1 responsible for viral replication and RNA2 coding for coat and movement proteins.
- Research focused on the small movement protein VP37's role in the virus's pathogenicity and host range, showing that a mutant strain lacking VP37 could not infect certain plants and caused milder symptoms.
- VP37 was also found to enhance viral symptoms in other viruses and suppress post-transcriptional gene silencing, highlighting its importance in virus-host interactions.
