Abstract

A collection of 57 field isolates of the tombusvirus tomato bushy stunt virus was obtained from eggplant and tomato during 1994-1997 and was examined for the presence of defective interfering (DI) RNA species by Northern blot hybridization and RT-PCR. No DI RNA species were detected associated with any of the field TBSV isolates. However, serial passaging of two field isolates in Nicotiana clevelandii at high multiplicity of infection resulted in the rapid generation of DI-like RNA species, indicating that the absence of DI RNAs in natural populations of the virus was not due to the inability of the TBSV field isolates to generate them in a suitable host. The results indicate that DI RNAs may not play a role in modulating natural TBSV infections in the hosts examined. In 4 of 57 isolates analyzed we have detected less than full-length RNAs and we show here that they are true satellite RNAs. Two different satellite RNA species were detected, named TBSV sat RNAs B1 (822 nt) and B10 (612 nt). TBSV sat RNAs lack significant open reading frames and do not present sequence homology except in a central box that is also conserved in TBSV-Ch genomic RNA and in all the DI RNAs derived from it. TBSV sat RNA B10 attenuated the symptoms ind...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
