Hijacking the ER membrane – lessons from Turnip mosaic virus
Blog, Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: News and ViewsBy Lynn GL Richardson
Positive-strand (+)RNA viruses account for the majority of plant viruses. Apart from their significant impact on worldwide agriculture, they also inform our understanding of basic virus biology (Scholthof et al., 2011). Upon entry into the cells of their host, (+)RNA viruses…
