Plant viruses have been used as rapid and cost-effective expression vectors for heterologous protein in genomic studies. However, delivering large or multiple foreign proteins monocots insect pests is challenging. Here, we recovered a recombinant plant cytorhabdovirus, Barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV), use versatile platform cereals the small brown planthopper (SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus) vector. We engineered BYSMV to provide platforms simultaneous of three barley plants SBPHs....
Shoot apical meristems (SAM) are resistant to most plant viruses due RNA silencing, which is restrained by viral suppressors of silencing (VSRs) facilitate transient invasion the SAM. In many cases chronic symptoms and long-term virus recovery occur, but underlying mechanisms poorly understood. Here, we found that wild-type Cucumber mosaic (CMVWT) invaded SAM transiently, was subsequently eliminated from meristems. Unexpectedly, a CMV mutant, designated CMVRA harbors an alanine substitution...
Abstract As obligate parasites, plant viruses usually hijack host cytoskeletons for replication and movement. Rhabdoviruses are enveloped, negative-stranded RNA that infect vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, but the mechanisms of intracellular trafficking rhabdovirus proteins largely unknown. Here, we used Barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV), a cytorhabdovirus, as model to investigate effects actin cytoskeleton on viral movement synthesis in mini-replicon (MR) system. The BYSMV P...
Casein kinase 1 (CK1) family members are conserved Ser/Thr protein kinases that regulate important developmental processes in all eukaryotic organisms. However, the functions of CK1 plant immunity remain largely unknown. Barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV), a cytorhabdovirus, infects cereal crops and is obligately transmitted by small brown planthopper (SBPH; Laodelphax striatellus). The BYSMV phosphoprotein (P) exists as two forms with different mobilities corresponding to 42 kD...
