SatRNAs - the 'game changers' at the virus–host plant interaction?
After years of working with satellite RNAs, we wrote this synthetic and critical paper, with both historical and most recent data, as well as hypotheses and prospects for further research

The #Dicer-like Protein 4 and RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase 6 are Involved in Tomato Torrado #Virus Pathogenesis in #Nicotiana benthamiana

Tomato torrado #virus defective genomes with truncated 3′ UTR of RNA1 are infectious. Changes in RNA1 length affect viral replication and sap transmission from plant to plant. Large deletions in 3'UTR of ToTV RNA1 may have arisen spontaneously or as an adaptation to the mode of viral transmission.

New #publication:
We compared the influence of two #resistance inducers, BTH and Chol-BTH (#ionicliquid) on #plantdefense & #antioxidant properties of #plants using #transcriptomics and targeted #metabolomics.
We found out that Chol-BTH, due to its physicochemical & biological properties (upregulation of lignification-related genes, #peroxidase activity, total #phenolic compounds levels) can also be useful agent inducing plant resistance against viral pathogens

'Sex-specific splicing is an essential process that regulates sex determination and drives sexual dimorphism. Yet, how early in development widespread sex-specific transcript diversity occurs was unknown because it had yet to be studied at the genome-wide level. We use the powerful Drosophila model to show that widespread sex-specific transcript diversity occurs early in development, concurrent with zygotic genome activation. We also present a new pipeline called time2splice to quantify changes in alternative splicing over time.'
In a new article, we write about how the phenomenon of #weeds acquiring #herbicide #resistance can lead to positive effects when these weeds are plants of #phytomedical importance and important in #food #technology.
#Cornflower is such a plant, and its herbicide-resistant biotypes have much higher levels of #polyphenols, #flavonoids and free radical scavenging activities - i.e. better #health-promoting properties than herbicide-sensitive biotypes

Next article from our group on plant-parasitic #nematode - Meloidogyne arenaria, in which we describe its candidate #effector protein MaMsp4,
its interactors from the host plant, gene expression and localization.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11104-023-06130-3
MaMsp4 interacts with host proteins involved in
• plant defense, namely with these taking part in biosynthesis of polyamines and phosphatidylethanolamine.
• plant cell modifications: beta-galactosidase 11, pectinesterase, and polygalacturonase
Our latest research on plant - #nematode interactions is posted on #bioRxiv.
We show the early stages of compatible interactions between Zea mays and #Meloidogyne arenaria.
