Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants viruses are increasingly being examined as alternative recombinant protein expression systems. Future development of plant virus expression vectors needs to focus on the most important economic hosts, namely cereals and legumes, to develop tools to aid breeding of such hosts and systems for edible vaccine production. Sunn hemp mosaic virus (SHMV) is a tobamovirus, which infects leguminous plants. This work reports on new SHMV-based viral vectors for high yield of target proteins in legumes. In the SHEC vector series, the coat protein gene of SHMV was substituted by a reporter gene. In the SHAC vector series, the coat protein was substituted by a reporter gene and the coat protein gene from another tobamovirus, tobacco mild green mosaic virus (TMGMV). Co-agroinoculation of SHEC/GFP with an RNA silencing suppressor resulted in high levels of local GFP expression by 3 days post inoculation. Co-agroinoculation with SHAC/GFP led to systemic fluorescence in 12-19 dpi. Foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) is a species of the group Potexvirus, which infects cereal plants. A new viral vector series named FECT was constructed by eliminating the triple gene block and coat protein genes, reducing the viral genome by 29%. Interestingly, agroinoculation of the vector alone results in only slight transient expression, whereas co-inoculation with silencing suppressor genes allows for GFP expression of 40% total soluble protein. Full-sized HC and LC components of an anti-langerin IgG, each carried by a separate FECT vector, expressed and folded into immunologically functional antibody upon co-inoculation. This may prove a useful and environmentally safe vector for both transient expression and perhaps transgenic plants. Mountain cedar (Juniperus ashei) pollen causes severe allergies in Texas and the central USA. Jun a 1 is the dominant allergen protein of mountain cedar pollen and would be a good allergen vaccine candidate. Recombinant Jun a 1 was expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana using an agroinoculation-compatible tobacco mosaic virus vector and isolated in good quantity from the apoplast by vacuum infiltration (100 [mu]g/g leaf material). The recombinant protein samples were characterized. Pectate lyase activity was detected from plant extracts, suggesting the cause of severe necrotic reaction in plants.

Download or read book Plant Resistance to Viruses written by David Evered and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about the environmental consequences of the widespread use of pesticides has increased, and evidence of pesticide-resistant virus vectors have continued to emerge. This volume presents a timely survey of the mechanisms of plant resistance and examines current developments in breeding for resistance, with particular emphasis on advances in genetic engineering which allow for the incorporation of viral genetic material into plants. Discusses the mechanisms of innate resistance in strains of tobacco, tomato, and cowpea; various aspects of induced resistance, including the characterization and roles of the pathogenesis-related proteins; antiviral substances and their comparison with interferon; and cross-protection between plant virus strains. Also presents several papers which evaluate the status of genetic engineering as it relates to breeding resistant plants. Among these are discussions of the potential use of plant viruses as gene vectors, gene coding for viral coat protein, satellite RNA, and antisense RNA, and practical issues such as the durability of resistant crop plants in the field.

Download or read book Recognition and Response in Plant Virus Interactions written by Ronald S.S. Fraser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanisms of resistance to plant viruses are diverse, and probably involve different types of recognition events. Often, a cascade of changes affecting broader aspects of defence and metabolism is switched on progressively after the initial recognition event. Virulence, i.e. resistence-breaking behaviour of the virus, involves a failure or alteration of recognition or subsequent signalling. Consequences of these recognition events are the ways in which the pathogenic effects on the host are exerted: formation of visible symptoms and control of plant growth. This volume offers a comprehensive coverage of the recognition and signalling events between plants and viruses whereby the particular attraction of viruses (and viroids) is that they can now be completely defined in molecular terms: they offer excellent opportunities for studying the molecular biology of signalling, and may even provide useful guidelines on how plants and cellular pathogens interact.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First attempts to isolate plant genes were for those genes that are abun dantly expressed in a particular plant organ at a specific stage of devel opment. However, many important gene products are produced in a very minute quantity and in specialized cell types. Such genes can now be isolated using a variety of approaches, some of which are described in this volume. The rapid progress during the last decade in regeneration of a number of crop plants and the availability of molecular tools to introduce foreign genes in plants is allowing the engineering of specific traits of agri cultural importance. These genes must, however, be regulated in a spatial and temporal manner in order to have desired effects on plant devel opment and productivity. The habitat of plants necessitate adaptive responses with respect to the environmental changes. Starting from germination of the seed, the plant begins to sense environmental cues such as moisture, light, temperature and the presence of pathogens, and begins to respond to them. Little is known about various signal transduction pathways that lead to biochemical and morphogenetic responses, in particular, transition from vegetative to reproductive phase. With the availability of tools to generate specific mutations via transposon tagging, identification and isolation of genes affecting these processes may be facilitated. Transfer of these genes into heterologous environments will allow understanding of the complex processes that control plant development.

Download or read book Geminivirus Detection Diagnosis and Management written by R.K. Gaur and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2022-05-28 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geminivirus: Detection, Diagnosis and Management focuses on the latest techniques for managing diseases caused by these circular, single-stranded (ss) DNA genomes. The most significant impact of plant diseases in host populations is often caused by emerging diseases, whose incidence in a plant host is increasing as a result of long-term changes in their underlying epidemiology. Genetic changes in pathogen and host populations, as well as changes in host ecology and environment, are major factors contributing to disease emergence. Understanding plant virus evolution is crucial for modeling the within-host and between-host dynamics and genetics of virus populations. The book presents a comprehensive review of how these viruses develop, including contributing factors such as population bottlenecks during cell-to-cell movement, systemic colonization, or between-host transmission by different procedures. Presented in five sections—Detection and Diagnosis, Emergence and Diversity, Vector and Transmission, Virus–Host Interaction, and Disease Management, the book includes host range determinant and virulence factors involved in pathogenesis, virus–vector interactions during acquisition, retention, and transmission and evaluating management strategies to control Geminivirus. The book is an essential reference for students and researchers interested in plant virology, particularly begomoviruses, geminiviruses, and vector transmission biology. - Introduces identification and characterization of geminiviruses that infect agricultural crops, their wild relatives, and weed hosts - Discusses recombination and reassortment mechanisms influencing viral genetic diversity, virulence, and vector transmission - Explores the origin, evolution, and bottlenecks of Geminiviruses - Introduces identification and characterization of geminiviruses that infect agricultural crops, their wild relatives, and weed hosts - Discusses recombination and reassortment mechanisms influencing viral genetic diversity, virulence, and vector transmission - Explores the origin, evolution, and bottlenecks of Geminiviruses
