Molecular responses of agroinfiltrated Nicotiana benthamiana leaves expressing suppressor of silencing P19 and influenza virus-like particles

Agrobacterium-mediated expression of influenza virus-like particles induces a unique molecular signature in Nicotiana benthamiana leaf cells.

From Asymptomatic to Symptomatic: Multiomics profiling of the temporal response of grapevine viral-mixed infection

This study profiles multiomics data from grapevine plants with mixed viral infections to identify factors influencing the timing of virus-like symptoms.

Nanovirseq: dsRNA sequencing for plant virus and viroid detection by Nanopore sequencing

This study evaluates dsRNA-based nanopore sequencing for detecting viruses and viroids in grapevines, finding it more sensitive and reliable than rRNA-depleted total RNA sequencing.

Light prevents pathogen-induced aqueous microenvironments via potentiation of salicylic acid signaling

The paper shows that constant light prevents pathogen-induced water-soaking in plants by enhancing salicylic acid signaling, which counteracts abscisic acid-induced stomatal closure.

Natural variation in the Arabidopsis AGO2 gene is associated with susceptibility to potato virus X

ARGONAUTE5 Mediates Fine-Tuning of Vegetative-to-Reproductive Phase Transition Through Its Interaction with miR156 in Arabidopsis

The paper identifies AGO5 as a specific mediator of miR156 activity during the vegetative-to-reproductive phase transition in Arabidopsis, showing its role in meristematic tissue.
