Our #VIRTIGATION project held a session on new control strategies of the #PlantVirus #ToBRFV at the prestigious #IAPV25 conference. With inspiring presentations from leading #PlantVirologists and a lively panel debate, the session outlined new perspectives for #ToBRFV control: www.virtigation.eu

Umbravirus-like RNA viruses are capable of independent systemic plant infection in the absence of encoded movement proteins The spread of viral genomes into adjacent cells and the plant vascular system is enabled by viral movement proteins. This study shows that umbravirus-like RNA viruses can spread systemically without e...

🧪Hey #PlantVirologists! Lets make this a great community by posting/commenting on important papers in our field (can be yours!). I'll start. PLoS Biology paper of ours describing first plant viruses using host (and not encoded) movement proteins!
