Researchers at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have developed RNA-based active agents that appear to reliably protect plants against cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the most common ...

With the help of the new active ingredient developed by MLU researchers, plants can be easily protected against the cucumber mosaic virus. New RNA-based active agents reliably protect plants against ...

Cucumber crops worldwide face major yield losses due to virus infections transmitted by aphids. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) uncovered multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that ...

What steps can researchers take to combat crop viruses? This is what a recent study published in Nucleic Acids Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from Germany investigated a novel ...

Diseased bitter gourd plants with severe leaf rolling symptoms were observed in Sichuan province (southwest China). Leaf dips prepared from symptomatic leaves contained particles ca. 30 nm in diameter ...
