Safer and more broadly effective rotavirus vaccines could be achieved if initial investigations 1 into the boosting effect of plant-derived virus-like particles hold up in further trials.

Plant viral diseases are a global and growing problem. Potyviruses are the largest genus of RNA viruses in plants. We are interested in molecular elucidation of the different stages of potyvirus ...

5. The siRNA-mediated antiviral gene silencing plays a key role in plant defense against viruses. VSRs encoded by viruses inhibit antiviral RNA silencing. During plant-virus co-evolution ...

It was enhanced by combining it with material from viruses that naturally infect plants. The new instructions were then put into soil bacteria, which were used to infect tobacco. The infection ...
