Plant viruses have evolved a wide array of strategies to ensure efficient transfer from one host to the next. Any organism feeding on infected plants and traveling between plants can potentially act as a virus transport device. Such... more
BBTD or Banana Bunchy Top Disease caused by BBTV known as Banana Bunchy Top Virus belongs to the genus Babuvirus and family Nanoviridae affects Musa genus and generally transmitted through aphid vectors on a worldwide pandemic basis. Due... more
In eukaryotes, RNA silencing is a regulatory mechanism that controls gene expression and genome stability through the synthesis of small RNAs (sRNAs) of 20 to 25 nts from inductor RNA molecules with double stranded features (dsRNA). sRNAs... more
Plant viruses are inducers and targets of RNA silencing. Viruses counteract with RNA silencing by expressing silencing-suppressor proteins. Many of the identified proteins bind siRNAs, which prevents assembly of silencing effector... more
Insect pests, pathogens, and other types of plant attackers cause great losses and uncertainties to agriculture, increasing economic costs for producers. Apart from decreasing the yield, they lower crop quality by releasing toxins and... more
Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV) is currently the most devastating virus of cultivated tomatoes in tropical and subtropical regions, accounting for significant yield losses in cultivated tomato in Ghana. Severe population outbreaks... more
Luteovirus is a phytopathogenic monopartite virus of global importance. Re-assortment and recombination by exchanging genome segments play vital role in the virus evolution. Differences in the breadth and specificity of host range,... more
The first biologically active infectious clones of tomato torrado virus (ToTV) were generated and delivered into Nicotiana benthamiana and Solanum lycopersicum plants via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The engineered constructs consisted of... more
Onion (Allium cepa L.), an important edible species of genus Allium cultivated both in rabi and kharif season in Indian Punjab. It is planted directly by seeds or by bulb sets for table purpose and seed production. Onion is reported to be... more
We describe a droplet-vitrification cryotherapy method for the eradication of grapevine leafroll-associated virus-3 (GLRaV-3) from diseased in vitro shoots of Vitis plants. The procedure involved pre-culture of 1.0-mm shoot tips... more
تعد زراعة الأنسجة أو الخلايا أو الأعضاء النباتية علم به تقنيات حديثة و أساليب تجارى متطلبات الزراعة الحديثة و التى تتطور بإستمرار لتصبح أكثر ملائمة لطبيعة الإنتاج الكبير المتميز و لتحقيق أكبر عائد ممكن من الوحدة الإنتاجية وتتميز طرق... more
Euphorbia milii cv. splendens plants with leaf mosaic and flower colour breaking symptoms in Caracas, Venezuela, were shown to contain potyvirus-like particles. Degenerate Potyviridae primers were used in a reverse... more
Potato viruses such as Potato virus Y (PVY) cause diseases that affect potato quality and thus damage potato production worldwide. Current tests for viral infection use double-antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (DAS... more
Use of resistant varieties is a proven way of controlling the tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), which causes a devastating disease of tomato in tropical and warm temperate regions, resulting in significant yield losses. However,... more
Plant virus diseases are significant threats to modern agriculture and their control remains a challenge to the management of cultivation. The plant virus diseases can be controlled to some extent by the use of biotechnological methods.... more
The botanical product RD-Repelin, was highly repellent to pea aphids at 1%, 4%, or 10% concentrations. Repellency occurred prior to leaf contact by aphids at all concentrations. RD-Repelin delayed symptom expression of ZYMV in 81% of... more
Antisera to the nucleoprotein of maize yellow stripe tenui-like virus (MYSV) were produced and used for detection of this virus in several host plants and vector leafhoppers in Egypt. Dot-blot and direct antigen coating (DAC) ELISA were... more
The study was conducted at Department of Plant Pathology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to find out virus-vector relationship in JLMV of jute during 2010-2011. So far, 12 different diseases have been recorded on jute in... more
Banana streak viruses (BSVs) are double-stranded DNA pararetroviruses causing banana streak disease. Recently, numerous outbreaks of the disease occurred in many banana-producing areas in interspecific hybrids (#Musa acuminata# × #Musa... more
For the first time in Ukraine, a virus disease of elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) was found. Plants with symptoms of a viral infection were found in 2015-2016 in the Poltava region, in 2016 the same symptoms on elder plants were disfigured... more
