[EN] Conventional breeding of citrus types demands a long-term effort due to their complex reproductive biology and long juvenile period. As a compelling alternative, genetic engineering of mature tissues allows the insertion ...
[EN] Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is phloem restricted in natural citrus hosts. The 23-kDa protein (p23) encoded by the virus is an RNA silencing suppressor and a pathogenicity determinant. The expression of p23, or its ...
[EN] Citrus tristeza virus (CTV), the causal agent of the most devastating viral disease of citrus, has evolved three silencing suppressor proteins acting at intra- (p23 and p20) and/or intercellular level (p20 and p25) ...
