belongs to the family and is used as both an oilseed and vegetable crop. As only a few studies have reported on the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in , we conducted this study to provide a basic understanding of the and CMV interactions. -infecting CMV (CMV-Co6) and non-infecting CMV (CMV-Rs1) were used. To identify the determinants of systemic infection in , we first constructed infectious clones of CMV-Co6 and CMV-Rs1 and used them as pseudo-recombinants. RNA2 of CMV was identified as an important determinant in because were systemically infected with RNA2-containing pseudo-recombinants; CMV-Co6, R/6/R, and R/6/6 were systemically infected . Subsequently, the amino acids of the 2a and 2b proteins were compared, and a chimeric clone was constructed. The chimeric virus R/6Rns/R6cp, containing the C-terminal region of the 2a protein of CMV-Rs1, still infects . It is the 2a protein that determines the systemic CMV infection in , suggesting that conserved 160G and 214A may play a role in systemic CMV infection in .

Plant viruses represent a major threat to agriculture, affecting a wide range of crops with substantial economic losses. This study presented a novel strategy for managing plant viral diseases through the development an attenuated vaccine utilizing cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) for virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) targeting susceptibility gene. TOBAMOVIRUS MULTIPLICATION 2A (TOM2A) gene was identified as a critical factor that enhances susceptibility to TMV infection in plants.

Background: Peanut allergy (PA) is one of the most prevalent food allergies with a lack of favorable safety/efficacy treatment. A cucumber mosaic virus-like particle expressing peanut allergen component Ara h 2 (VLP Peanut) has been developed as a novel therapeutic approach for PA.
Objective: We assessed the tolerogenic properties and reactivity of VLP Peanut.

Changes in critical sites of virus-encoded protein or cis-acting element generally determine pathogenicity differentiation among different isolates of the same plant virus. Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolates, which exhibit the most extensively known host range, demonstrate notable pathogenicity differentiation. This study focuses on the severe isolate CMV and mild isolate CMV, both affecting several species within the Solanaceae family, to identify the key factors regulating pathogenicity differentiation.

Paris yunnanensis, also named as Rhizoma Paridis in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, is a perennial Chinese medicinal herb commonly grown in Southwest China. However, several viruses have been found infecting this plant in recent years. Using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and Sanger sequencing, this study obtained the complete genome sequences of three capillovirus isolates and one potyvirus isolate.
