Inhibitory Effect of Osthole from Cnidium monnieri on Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) Infection in Nicotiana glutinosa

Acquired Systemic Susceptibility to Infection by Tobacco Mosaic Virus in Nicotiana glutinosa L

In Nicotiana glutinosa L. formation of local lesions on lower leaves inoculated with tobacco mosaic virus increased the susceptibility of the upper leaves to infection in a subsequent inoculation. The increase in susceptibility was detected as an increase of up to 3"5-fold in the number of lesions produced on the upper leaf and a corresponding increase in the amount of virus RNA synthesized. Th...

An Electron Microscope Study of Tobacco Mosaic Virus Lesions in Nicotiana Glutinosa L

Ultra-thin sections of Nicotiana glutinosa L. leaves inoculated with a concentrated solution of tobacco mosaic virus were made at short intervals from 0 to 78 hours after inoculation. Eight hours after inoculation, the size of starch grains increased. This was followed by rupture of cytoplasmic and chloroplast membranes. At about 24 hours there was a great increase in number of mitochondria, wh...

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and potato virus X (PVX) coat proteins confer heterologous interference to PVX and TMV infection, respectively.

Replication of Potato virus X (PVX) was reduced in transgenic protoplasts that accumulated wild-type coat protein (CPWT) of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) or a mutant CP, CP(T42W), that produced highly ordered states of aggregation, including pseudovirions. This reaction is referred to as heterologous CP-mediated resistance. However, protoplasts expressing a CP mutant that abolished aggregation and...

Inhibitory effect on the tobacco mosaic virus infection by a plant RING finger protein.

In the yeast two-hybrid screening of plant factors interacting with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), we found a protein containing a RING finger motif in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and designated it as TARF (TMV-associated RING finger protein). TARF is a homologue of a Lotus japonicus RING finger protein (LjnsRING) involved in the symbiotic interaction between L....
