Black currant reversion virus, a mite-transmitted nepovirus

BLACK CURRANT (Ribes nigrum L.) – AN INSIGHT INTO THE CROP

Mineral Composition of Fruit in Black and Red Currant

Black currants (Ribes nigrum) and red currants (Ribes rubrum) are highly appreciated for the food and therapeutic value of their fruits. Mineral composition was determined in eight black currants cultivars (‘Record’, ‘Bogatar’, ‘Deea’, ‘Abanos’, ‘Blackdown’, ‘Ronix’, ‘Tinker’, ‘Tenah’) and three red currants cultivars (‘Rosu timpuriu’, ‘Abundent’, ‘Houghton Castle’). For both species analyzed, ...

Antiviral activity of Ladania067, an extract from wild black currant leaves against influenza A virus in vitro and in vivo

Influenza, a respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses, still represents a major threat to humans and several animal species. Besides vaccination, only two classes of drugs are available for antiviral treatment against this pathogen. Thus, there is a strong need for new effective antivirals against influenza viruses. Here, we tested Ladania067, an extract from the leaves of the wild black...

The impact of wild-type reversion on transmitted resistance surveillance.

A novel mite-transmitted virus with a divided RNA genome closely associated with pigeonpea sterility mosaic disease.

ABSTRACT The agent of sterility mosaic, a disease that is a major constraint on pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) production in the Indian subcontinent, is transmitted by the eriophyid mite, Aceria cajani. This agent has remained elusive for decades despite intensive efforts but we report the isolation of highly flexuous filamentous virus-like particles (VLPs) of 3 to 10 nm in width and of undefined le...
