eIFiso4G editing confers high and broad-spectrum resistance against rice yellow mottle virus

Florence Auguy, Sophie Chéron, Laurence Dossou, Agnès Pinel‐Galzi, Emilie Thomas, Jamel Aribi, Marcos Giovani Celli, Sébastien Cunnac, Eugénie Hébrard, Laurence Albar

This study shows that knocking out eIFiso4G1 or introducing Indels in its VPg-interacting region confers high resistance to RYMV in rice, with some variants maintaining plant growth.

Symptom observation underestimates co-infections: insight from viral and bacterial diseases in rice fields in Burkina Faso

Estelle Billard, Martine Bangratz, Abalo Itolou Kassankogno, Phonsiri Saengram, Abdoul Kader Guigma, Olivier Cotto, Gaël Thébaud, Issa Wonni, Drissa Sérémé, Nils Poulicard, Sébastien Cunnac, Mathilde Hutin, Eugénie Hébrard, Charlotte Tollenaere

The paper shows that symptom observation in rice fields greatly underestimates co-infections by RYMV and Xoc, revealing 12.4% co-infection rates in symptomatic samples.

Grains, trade and war in the multimodal transmission of Rice yellow mottle virus: an historical and phylogeographical retrospective

Innocent Ndikumana, Geoffrey Onaga, Agnès Pinel‐Galzi, Pauline Rocu, Judith Hubert, Hassan Karakacha Wéré, Antony Adego, Mariam Nyongesa Were, Nils Poulicard, Maxime Hebrard, Simon Dellicour, Philippe Lemey, Erik Gilbert, Marie-Jo Dugué, François Chevenet, , Eugénie Hébrard

This study traces the historical and phylogeographical spread of Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) in East Africa, linking its dispersal to rice cultivation, trade, and human activities.

Integrating structural modeling and divergence dating of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases to resolve the evolutionary history of plant and fungal viruses: from sobemoviruses to sobelivirads

Jérôme Gracy, Mahan Ghafari, Gilles Labesse, Denis Fargette, Eugénie Hébrard

This study uses deep-learning structural modeling and divergence dating to analyze RdRps from plant and fungal viruses, revealing a recent divergence of sobelivirads and suggesting cross-kingdom host shifts in their evolutionary history.
