Complete genome sequence of a putative novel ilarvirus isolated from Eleocharis dulcis.

The complete genomic sequence of a novel ilarvirus from Eleocharis dulcis, tentatively named "water chestnut virus A" (WCVA), was determined using next-generation sequencing (NGS) combined with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR. The three genomic RNA components of WCVA were 3578 (RNA1), 2873 (RNA2), and 2073 (RNA3) nucleotides long, with four predicted open reading frames containing conserved domains and motifs typical of ilarviruses. Phylogenetic analysis of each predicted protein consistently placed WCVA in subgroup 4 of the genus Ilarvirus, together with prune dwarf virus, viola white distortion associated virus, Fragaria chiloensis latent virus, and potato yellowing virus.

Genome-Wide Identification Reveals That Hypersensitive Response (HR)-Like Lesion Inducing Protein 4 (NbHRLI4) Mediates Cell Death and Salicylic Acid-Dependent Defense Responses to Turnip Mosaic Virus.

Hypersensitive response (HR)-like cell death is an important mechanism that mediates the plant response to pathogens. In our previous study, we reported that NbHIR3s regulate HR-like cell death and basal immunity. However, the host genes involved in HR have rarely been studied.

Complete genome sequence of a new achyranthes virus A isolate from Achyranthes bidentata in China.

We have determined the complete genomic sequence of a potyvirus from Achyranthes bidentata in Zhejiang, China, using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR. The genomic RNA is 9482 nucleotides (nt) long excluding the 3'-terminal poly(A) tail and encodes a putative large polyprotein with 3073 amino acids (aa). It has 75.

Fasciclin-like arabinogalactan gene family in Nicotiana benthamiana: genome-wide identification, classification and expression in response to pathogens.

Background: Nicotiana benthamiana is widely used as a model plant to study plant-pathogen interactions. Fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins (FLAs), a subclass of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), participate in mediating plant growth, development and response to abiotic stress. However, the members of FLAs in N.
