Diagnosis of plant viral pathogens
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the last ten years there has been an explosion in plant virus outbreaks, because of either direct or indirect activities of humans. The ease of transporting plant materials and virus vectors, and collecting relatives of crop plants from the wild, has spread viruses widely throughout the world. The most important step in managing a virus disease is correct identification. Tests for diagnosis should be fast, accurate and inexpensive. Current diagnosis techniques are broadly divided into serological procedures, nucleic acid procedures and combinations of both. This article presents a review of the current and upcoming methods of virus diagnosis in plants.

متن کاملSumoylation at the Host-Pathogen Interface
Many viral proteins have been shown to be sumoylated with corresponding regulatory effects on their protein function, indicating that this host cell modification process is widely exploited by viral pathogens to control viral activity. In addition to using sumoylation to regulate their own proteins, several viral pathogens have been shown to modulate overall host sumoylation levels. Given the l...
متن کاملPlant-based expression systems for protein and antimicrobial peptide production
Molecular farming technology offers a unique advantage that almost any protein can be produced economically and safely under very controlled conditions. Besides traditional production systems, such as bacteria, yeasts, insects and mammal cell lines, plants can now be used to produce eukaryotic recombinant proteins, especially therapeutic ones. Their advantages as hosts for protein production in...
متن کاملSilencing and Innate Immunity in Plant Defense Against Viral and Non-Viral Pathogens
The frontline of plant defense against non-viral pathogens such as bacteria, fungi and oomycetes is provided by transmembrane pattern recognition receptors that detect conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), leading to pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). To counteract this innate defense, pathogens deploy effector proteins with a primary function to suppress PTI. In specific ca...
