Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) particles were observed in the nuclei of xylem parenchyma cells in Brassica pekinensis L. doubly infected by CaMV and turnip mosaic virus (TuMV). CaMV particles were aggregated in the nucleoplasm but not embedded in viroplasms. This phenomenon was not detected in cell nuclei of mesophyll tissue. Typical features associated with infection by either CaMV or TuMV normally occurred in the cytoplasm of cells of both tissues: two types of viroplasms with embedded CaMV particles and cylindrical inclusions induced by TuMV. Among the main hypotheses which could explain this particular CaMV localization, we checked that it was not the result of the coinfection with TuMV, since we also found CaMV particles in the same place in single infected plants. Other explanations are discussed, including a possible particularity of the infection in xylem tissue or a specific property of an unusual CaMV isolate.

Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) has a double-stranded DNA genome and is globally distributed. The phylogeny tree of 121 CaMV isolates was categorized into two primary groups, with Iranian isolates showing the greatest genetic variations. Nucleotide A demonstrated the highest percentage (36.

There is growing evidence that plant viruses manipulate their hosts and vectors in ways that increase transmission. However, to date only few viral components underlying these phenomena have been identified. Here we show that cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) protein P2 modifies the feeding behavior of its aphid vector.

Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) is transmitted by aphids using the non-circulative transmission mode: when the insects feed on infected leaves, virus particles from infected cells attach rapidly to their stylets and are transmitted to a new host when the aphids change plants. Mandatory for CaMV transmission, the viral helper protein P2 mediates as a molecular linker binding of the virus particles to the aphid stylets. P2 is available in infected plant cells in a viral inclusion that is specialized for transmission and named the transmission body (TB).

During an infection, Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) forms inclusion bodies (IBs) mainly composed of viral protein P6, where viral activities occur. Because viral processes occur in IBs, understanding the mechanisms by which they are formed is crucial. FL-P6 expressed in N.
