BACKGROUND: Exocytosis is integral to root growth: trafficking components of systems that control growth (e.g., PIN
auxin transport proteins) to the plasma membrane, and secreting materials that expand the cell wall to the
apoplast. Spatiotemporal regulation of exocytosis in eukaryotes often involves the exocyst, an octameric complex
that tethers selected...
Virus-infected plants accumulate abundant, 21–24 nucleotide viral siRNAs which are generated by the evolutionary
conserved RNA interference (RNAi) machinery that regulates gene expression and defends against invasive nucleic acids.
Here we show that, similar to RNA viruses, the entire genome sequences of DNA viruses are densely covered with siRNAs in...

Plant viruses of the recently recognized family Amalgaviridae have monopartite double-stranded (ds) RNA genomes
and encode two proteins: an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and a putative capsid protein (CP). Whereas the
RdRp of amalgaviruses has been found to be most closely related to the RdRps of dsRNA viruses of the...
Viruses are obligatory parasites that depend on host cellular factors for their replication as well as for their local and systemic
movement to establish infection. Although myosin motors are thought to contribute to plant virus infection, their exact roles
in the specific infection steps have not been addressed. Here we...

In eukaryotes, ARGONAUTE proteins (AGOs) associate with microRNAs (miRNAs), short
interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and other classes of small RNAs to regulate target RNA or target
loci. Viral infection in plants induces a potent and highly specific antiviral RNA silencing
response characterized by the formation of virus-derived siRNAs. Arabidopsis thaliana has...

More than 200 sites between 500 and 2000 meters elevation
were examined utilizing a reconnaissance sampling technique for a
portion of the eastern slopes of the northern Oregon Cascade Mountains.
Twelve different forested plant communities were described
with data on vegetation, soils and topography. A map of their distribution
and...
