Tobacco viruses may cause a wide range of diseases that heavily reduce tobacco quality and yield worldwide. In order to detect viral diseases in tobacco fields, a one-step reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) method was established. Nucleotide amplification could be observed clearly after adding SYBR Green I, within 60 min under isothermal conditions, at 63-65 °C with a set of primers targeting the viral coat protein (CP) genes of tobacco viruses including cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), potato virus Y (PVY), tobacco etch virus (TEV), tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and tobacco vein banding mosaic virus (TVBMV). This method has high specificity and sensitivity. The sensitivity of the RT-LAMP was 10 to 100 times higher than that of the conventional RT-PCR method. The RT-LAMP assay was proven reliable for virus diagnosis of tobacco samples from the field.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a significant threat to tomato cultivation globally, transmitted exclusively by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. While previous research suggests that the TYLCV C2 protein plays a role in fostering mutualistic interactions between the virus and its insect vectors, the specific mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we show that the C2 protein interferes with the salicylic acid (SA) defence pathway by disrupting TCP7-like transcription factor-mediated regulation of TGA2 expression.

Importance: Essential thrombocythemia, a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm with excessive platelet production, is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis and bleeding. The annual incidence rate of essential thrombocythemia in the US is 1.5/100 000 persons.

Zika (ZIKV) and Dengue (DENV) viruses are clinically significant due to their severe neurological and hemorrhagic complications. Rapid diagnostics often rely on nonstructural proteins to generate specific antibodies. This study aimed to produce IgG antibodies from the recombinant ZIKV protein and plant-expressed NS2B protein for arbovirus detection in serum and urine samples.

Objective: The study assessed the prevalence and clinical implications of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)-positive but Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in a tertiary care hospital setting. The overall goal was to elucidate the potential impact of EBV on OSCC disease progression and prognosis.
Design: A total of 134 surgically resected and histopathologically confirmed OSCC tumor biopsies were collected from a tertiary care hospital.

, a medicinal herbaceous plant documented in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, is a promising candidate for research into plant-derived pharmaceuticals. However, the study of newly emerging viruses that threaten the cultivation of remains limited. In this study, plants exhibiting symptoms such as leaf yellowing, mottled leaves, and vein chlorosis were collected and subjected to RNA sequencing to identify potential viral pathogens.
