To get answers, the researchers compared cowpea mosaic virus with two other plant viruses from the same family that have the same shape and size. One virus, cowpea severe mosaic virus, shares a ...

The significance of this study lies in its paradigm-shifting insight—a novel mechanism in the ongoing battle between plants and viruses.

The complex 3D structure of one of the world's most lethal families of plant viruses has been revealed in unprecedented detail by scientists.

Recently, the focus has been on viruses in macrophytes, a diverse group of photosynthetic plant-like organisms that are visible with the naked eye, in Florida's beautiful freshwater springs ...

A common plant virus is an unlikely ally in the war on cancer Promising results from injecting dog and mouse tumors with the cowpea mosaic virus.

The study may provide clues to how similar viruses infect cells and suggest ways for developing a new class of antibiotics and other drugs to prevent illnesses caused by viral pathogens. Scientists at ...

The genomic replication of the Zika virus (ZIKV) is made possible by its 'NS5' protein. Scientists report that they have determined the crystal structure of the entire ZIKV NS5 protein and ...

With care and labor, a farmer may collect stem cells from each of the infected plants and then walk away, burning the virus-ridden field to the ground behind her.

These three viral proteins represent a novel class of cell division regulators conserved between unrelated plant and animal viruses. They share similarities in secondary structure as well as some ...
