Tobacco necrosis virus (TNV) comprises over 20 different isolates which are usually classified on the basis of serological cross-reactivity of their virus particles or specific activation of satellite virus strains (STNV-1, -2, and -C). We have studied the relationships between five TNV isolates, TNV-A, -G, -CN, -D, and -AC36 which exhibit considerable differences in symptom formation on Phaseolus vulgaris. It is shown that, like TNV-A, TNV-G and -CN support the multiplication of STNV-1 and -2. The ability to activate STNV-1 and -2 is not completely correlated with the virulence of the TNV isolates on Phaseolus as TNV-CN infects Phaseolus very inefficiently. The RNAs of all STNV-1 and -2 supporting TNV isolates were detectable by Northern blot analysis using RNA probes derived from TNV-A, whereas the RNAs of the STNV-C activating isolates (TNV-D and -AC36) were only detected with a TNV-D-derived RNA probe. This indicates that the classification of the TNV isolates on the basis of satellite activation is representative of the evolutionary relationships between the isolates.

Quinoin is a type 1 ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) we previously isolated from the seeds of pseudocereal quinoa () and is known as a functional food for its beneficial effects on human health. As the presence of RIPs in edible plants could be potentially risky, here we further characterised biochemically the protein (complete amino acid sequence, homologies/differences with other RIPs and three-dimensional homology modeling) and explored its possible defensive role against pathogens. Quinoin consists of 254 amino acid residues, without cysteinyl residues.

Field surveys were conducted in Greek olive orchards from 2017 to 2020 to collect information on the sanitary status of the trees. Using a high-throughput sequencing approach, viral sequences were identified in total RNA extracts from several trees and assembled to reconstruct the complete genomes of two isolates of a new viral species of the genus (), for which the name olive virus T (OlVT) is proposed. A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay was developed which detected OlVT in samples collected in olive growing regions in Central and Northern Greece, showing a virus prevalence of 4.

The vacuole is a unique plant organelle that plays an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis under various environmental stress conditions. However, the effects of biotic stress on vacuole structure has not been examined using three-dimensional (3D) visualization. Here, we performed 3D electron tomography to compare the ultrastructural changes in the vacuole during infection with different viruses.

Plant viruses often infect several distinct host species. Sometimes, viruses can systemically infect a specific host whereas, in other cases, only local infections occur in other species. How viral and host factors interact to determine systemic infections among different hosts is largely unknown, particularly for icosahedral positive-stranded RNA viruses.

Using the pathosystem -tobacco necrosis virus (TNV), we demonstrated that PD-L1 and PD-L4, type-1 ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) from leaves of L., possess a strong antiviral activity. This activity was exerted both when the RIPs and the virus were inoculated together in the same leaf and when they were inoculated or applied separately in the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces.
