In most cases GMOS have been altered with DNA from another organism be it a bacterium plant virus or animal;
Colony collapse may result in part from a plant virus that has started infecting bees scientists believe.
#As Plant virus Jumps to Bees, Does it Cause Colony Collapse? Jeff Nesbit was the director of public affairs for two prominent federal science agencies.
In the new mbio study researchers explained that about 5 percent of known plant viruses like TRSV are transmitted by pollen
Developers then used genetic control elements derived from pathogenic plant viruses such as the cauliflower mosaic virus to switch on the genes.
the golden mosaic virus. Approved on 15 september by the Brazilian National Technical Commission on Biosafety (CTNBIO),
000 hectares of land on which the golden mosaic virus is so prevalent that farmers cannot grow beans at all at present.
Like that responsible for the 2009 pandemic, the new strain, known as Sw/1204, is a'triple-reassortant'virus that is, one with genes from avian, swine and human flu.
It causes damage both directly through feeding and indirectly through the transmission of plant viruses and has wreaked havoc on vegetable and cotton production in all of China s provinces except Tibet.
The method published under the title Transmitting Plant viruses Using Whiteflies is applicable to such at-risk crops as tomatoes and common bean plants.
and her colleagues write that numerous genera of whitefly-transmitted plant viruses (such as Begomovirus Carlavirus Crinivirus Ipomovirus Torradovirus) are part of an emerging and economically significant group of pathogens affecting important food
and the increased spread of Cassava Brown Streak Disease or CBSD warning that the rapidly proliferating plant virus could cause a 50 percent drop in production of a crop that provides a significant source of food and income for 300 million Africans.
However attempts to domesticate wild-growing plants have a downside as it could make the plants more susceptible to any number of plant viruses.
Malmstrom said that plant virus ecology and the study of viral interactions between wild-growing plants and agricultural crops is an expanding field.
Most of what is known about plant viruses comes from studies of crops. To understand the complete ecology of viruses researchers are now studying these tiny organisms in nature too.
The mysteries of how plant viruses can play a role in ecosystem properties and processes in natural ecosystems are emerging more slowly Malmstrom said.
and plants but a study of plant viruses in the wild may point to a more cooperative benevolent role of the microbe according to a Penn State virologist.
Indeed one plant virus that was found frequently in the forest was also found in nearby melon crops.
and sequenced the RNA genome of Barley Stripe Mosaic virus (BSMV) in a 750-year-old barley grain found at a site near the River Nile in modern-day Egypt.
Using the new medieval RNA to calibrate estimates of the rate of mutations the researchers were able to trace the evolution of the Barley Stripe Mosaic virus to a probable origin of around 2000 years ago but potentially much further back to the domestication
The medieval RNA from Qasr Ibrim gives us a vital clue to unlock the real age of the Barley Stripe Mosaic virus.
#Pathogenic plant virus jumps to honeybees, may explain bee population declinea viral pathogen that typically infects plants has been found in honeybees
Notably about 5%of known plant viruses are transmitted pollen and thus potential sources of host-jumping viruses.
