Viral protease NIa-Pro increases MEDIATOR SUBUNIT16 cleavage and plant susceptibility to turnip mosaic virus and its aphid vector Myzus persicae.

S. Ray, T. Murad, G. D. Arena, K. Arshad, Z. Arendsee, V. Herath, S. A. Whitham, C. L. Casteel

This study shows that the viral protease NIa-Pro cleaves MED16, reducing plant defenses against TuMV and its aphid vector, thereby increasing virus and aphid performance.

Use of sugarcane mosaic virus for virus-induced gene silencing in maize

S. H. Chung, S. Zhang, H. Song, S. A. Whitham, G. Jander

This study uses sugarcane mosaic virus to induce gene silencing in maize, showing it can effectively silence endogenous genes and assess the role of JA-Ile metabolism in plant defense.

Rapid screening of pest resistance genes in maize using a sugarcane mosaic virus vector

S. H. Chung, M. Bigham, R. R. Lappe, B. Chan, U. Nagalakshmi, S. A. Whitham, S. P. Dinesh-Kumar, G. Jander

This study uses a sugarcane mosaic virus vector to rapidly test the efficacy of various transgenes against maize pests, finding reduced larval growth in most cases.

Engineering a decoy substrate in soybean to enable recognition of the Soybean Mosaic Virus NIa protease

M. Helm, M. Qi, S. Sarkar, H. Yu, S. A. Whitham, R. W. Innes

The paper shows that a soybean PBS1 decoy protein with a SMV NIa protease cleavage site triggers cell death and inhibits SMV spread, suggesting decoy engineering can be used in soybean and other crops.
