Unlike animals, plants do not possess an adaptive immune system with antibodies or T cells to fight viral infections. Instead ...

New RNA-based active agents reliably protect plants against the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the most common virus in agriculture and horticulture. They were developed by researchers at the Martin ...

A new level of RNA-based plant protection: dsRNAs designed from functionally characterized siRNAs highly effective against Cucumber mosaic virus. Nucleic Acids Research , 2025; 53 (5) DOI: 10.1093 ...

Researchers have unveiled innovative, label-free ratiometric fluorosensor designed for the selective and sensitive detection of enteroviral RNA. The research promises to deliver even more advanced and ...

A chewing gum made from lablab beans may be the next big tool in fighting viral transmission. Scientists found that this gum can neutralize influenza and herpes viruses by over 95% by targeting the ...

This important study shows that the Nora virus, a natural Drosophila pathogen that also persistently infects many laboratory fly stocks, infects intestinal stem cells (ISCs), leading to a shorter life ...

Many were guided by experiences with another RNA virus that causes respiratory infections: influenza. “We just didn’t have much information about other respiratory viruses that could cause ...

With the help of the new active ingredient developed by MLU researchers, plants can be easily protected against the cucumber mosaic virus. Credit: Uni Halle / Heiko Rebsch Researchers at Martin Luther ...
