First Report of Southern bean mosaic virus Infecting French Bean in Morocco

An appropriate method to determine the interaction type of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV)

The occurrence of viral co-infection is a common phenomenon in cultivated and native plant species and can alter the dynamics of virus infection. In this study, disease progress was examined in single and mixed infections of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) by measuring the rate of symptom development, disease severity and area under disease progress curve on infe...

RNAi-mediated resistance to Bean golden mosaic virus in genetically engineered common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).

Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) is transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in a persistent, circulative manner, causing the golden mosaic of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The characteristic symptoms are yellow-green mosaic of leaves, stunted growth, or distorted pods. The disease is the largest constraint to bean production in Latin America and causes severe yield losses (40 to 100%)....

Sequence Analysis of Expressed cDNA of Bean Common Mosaic Virus RU1 Isolate

Primary changes of the mechanical properties of Southern Bean Mosaic Virus upon calcium removal.

The mechanical properties of viral shells are crucial determinates for the pathway and mechanism by which the genetic material leaves the capsid during infection and have therefore been studied by atomic force microscopy as well as by atomistic simulations. The mechanical response to forces from inside the capsid are found to be relevant, especially after ion removal from the shell structure, w...

Mechanical properties of the icosahedral shell of southern bean mosaic virus: a molecular dynamics study.

The mechanical properties of viral shells are crucial for viral assembly and infection. To study their distribution and heterogeneity on the viral surface, we performed atomistic force-probe molecular dynamics simulations of the complete shell of southern bean mosaic virus, a prototypical T = 3 virus, in explicit solvent. The simulation system comprised more than 4,500,000 atoms. To facilitate ...
