Neil Moreton McKern, the first author on the landmark paper describing the crystal structure of the human insulin receptor ectodomain (1), passed away on the 20 March 2014 after a year-long battle with multiple myeloma. Neil McKern was born on 17 December 1946 at Richmond, New South Wales. His career in science began at the age of 18 as a technical assistant to Dr. Fred Stewart in the CSIRO Div...

UNLABELLED Positive-sense RNA viruses remodel host cell endomembranes to generate quasi-organelles known as "viral factories" to coordinate diverse viral processes, such as genome translation and replication. It is also becoming clear that enclosing viral RNA (vRNA) complexes within membranous structures is important for virus cell-to-cell spread throughout the host. In plant cells infected by ...

soybean mosaic virus (smv) which belongs to the virus family potyviridae, causes a disease in soybean that is present in soybean-growing areas of the world, and is widely distributed in northern iran. detection of smv is very important for disease management. in the present study several serological and molecular (nucleic acid- based) methods of rapid virus detection were compared. serological ...

Temperature is one of the key factors that influence viral disease development in plants. In this study, temperature effect onWheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) replication and in planta movement was determined using a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged virus in twowinter wheat cultivars. Virus-inoculated plants were first incubated at 10, 15, 20, and 25°C for 21 days, followed by 27°C for 14...
