Molecular characterization and identification of Stellaria aquatica virus C, a novel putative member of the genus Closterovirus infecting Stellaria aquatica in South Korea.

A novel virus infecting Stellaria aquatica plants, tentatively named "Stellaria aquatica virus C" (StAVC), was identified in Gangwon-do Province, South Korea. Its monopartite genome consists of a single-stranded RNA of 15,024 nucleotides, and it shares 38.24 to 56.

Molecular characterization of a novel umbra-like virus from Thuja orientalis (arborvitae) in South Korea.

A novel umbra-like virus was identified in arborvitae in South Korea using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). The virus identified was tentatively named "arborvitae umbra-like virus" (AULV) and contained a 4,300-nucleotide genome organized into four non-structural open reading frames (ORFs). Cloning and Sanger sequencing were used to confirm the viral contig sequence and determine the size of the genome.

Complete genome sequence of daphne virus 1, a novel cytorhabdovirus infecting Daphne odora.

A novel cytorhabdovirus was identified in Daphne odora in South Korea using high-throughput sequencing. The virus, tentatively named "daphne virus 1" (DV1), has a full-length genome sequence of 13,206 nucleotides with a genome organization comparable to that of unsegmented plant rhabdoviruses and contains seven antisense putative genes in the order 3'-leader-N-P'-P-P3-M-G-L-5'-trailer. The coding region of the genome is flanked by a 3' leader and a 5' trailer sequence, 261 and 151 nucleotides long, respectively.

TMT-based quantitative membrane proteomics identified PRRs potentially involved in the perception of MSP1 in rice leaves.

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) play a key role in triggering PAMPs triggered immunity (PTI) in plants. In the case of the rice-Magnaporthe oryzae pathosystem, fewer PAMPs and their pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) have been characterized. Recently, a M.

Complete genome sequence of cnidium virus 1, a novel betanucleorhabdovirus infecting Cnidium officinale.

The complete genomic sequence of a plant rhabdovirus that was identified in Cnidium officinale in Yeongyang-dun, South Korea, is reported here. The virus, tentatively named "cnidium virus 1" (CnV1), has a negative-sense RNA genome of ~ 14 kb, and its organization most closely resembles that of unsegmented plant rhabdoviruses, containing six antisense open reading frames (ORFs) in the order 3'-N-P-P3-M-G-L-5'. Intergenic regions containing conserved sequences separate the genes.

Complete genome sequence of Codonopsis torradovirus A, a novel torradovirus infecting Codonopsis lanceolata in South Korea.

We herein present the complete genome sequence of codonopsis torradovirus A (CoTVA), which was isolated from Codonopsis lanceolata (deodeok) in Gangwon-do, South Korea. The CoTVA genome contains two positive-sense RNA segments, namely RNA1 (6922 nucleotides), which encodes a predicted polyprotein, and RNA2 (4613 nucleotides), which encodes a movement protein and coat proteins (CPs). The proteinase-polymerase (Pro-Pol) and CP amino acid sequences were 75% and 54% identical, respectively, to those of motherwort yellow mosaic virus.

The Importance of the Circadian Clock in Regulating Plant Metabolism.

Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for plant development. Plants synthesize sucrose in source organs and transport them to sink organs during plant growth. This metabolism is sensitive to environmental changes in light quantity, quality, and photoperiod.

A novel pepper (Capsicum annuum) receptor-like kinase functions as a negative regulator of plant cell death via accumulation of superoxide anions.

Plant receptor-like kinases belong to a large gene family. The Capsicum annuum receptor-like kinase 1 (CaRLK1) gene encodes a transmembrane protein with a cytoplasmic kinase domain and an extracellular domain. The CaRLK1 extracellular domain (ECD)-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion protein was targeted to the plasma membrane, and the kinase domain of the CaRLK1 protein exhibited autophosphorylation activity.
