Viruses can infect plants! Plant viruses like Tobacco mosaic virus can devastate crops, but they also help researchers study genetics and cell biology. 🦠🌾 #PlantViruses #CropHealth #VirologyResearch

Viruses can infect plants! Plant viruses like the tobacco mosaic virus cause damage to crops, but can also teach us about genetic mechanisms. 🦠🌱 #PlantViruses #CropScience #Virology

Viruses can protect plants! Some viruses, like cucumber mosaic virus, can boost a plant's resistance to drought and stress. 🦠🌱 #PlantViruses #AgricultureScience #PlantProtection

Viruses can cause plants to develop new traits! Tulip breaking virus is responsible for the striking patterns in tulips, creating “broken” color varieties. 🦠🌷 #PlantViruses #TulipHistory #VirologyInPlants

Viruses can destroy crops! The Tobacco Mosaic Virus was one of the first viruses discovered, known for devastating tobacco plants. 🦠🚬 #PlantViruses #Agriculture #Virology

Did you know? Some viruses can infect plants without causing disease, making them "silent passengers" in the plant world. 🌱🦠 #PlantViruses #SilentPassengers #Virology

Viruses can spread through plants in surprising ways. The Tobacco mosaic virus travels via tiny wounds, hitching rides in plant sap to infect new hosts. 🌱🦠 #PlantViruses #VirusSpread #Virology

Did you know viruses can help plants? Some viral infections in plants can trigger stress responses, making them more resistant to drought or pests. 🌱🦠 #PlantViruses #Virology #NatureResilience

#Summer is here & with it the time to recharge our batteries! As #VIRTIGATION continues its mission to protect #tomatoes & #cucurbits from emerging #PlantViruses, we take a short break and will be back in September with exciting new activities - stay tuned! #EUFunded #H2020

The Genome Detective created by #VIRTIGATION partner EMWEB is a powerful tool to track #virus #epidemiology. In #VIRTIGATION, they will adapt it to track #PlantViruses, especially #ToBRFV & #ToLCNDV. Sam Dierickx from EMWEB explains how in a new #ResearchInBrief video: #EUFunded

New Video Alert: How to do a ELISA to detect plant pathogens? using BIOREBA's ELISA This video is packed with valuable tips to help you achieve the best results in identifying plant pathogens. Watch the video:hubs.li/Q02J_kt50 #BIOREBA #PlantPathology #ELISA #PlantViruses

#PlantViruses are usually seen as devastating enemies of🍅🥒plants. However, several researches are showing that #PlantViruses like #TYLCV or #CMV improve plants' #drought #resilience. A review in Stress Biology explores the underlying complex dynamics: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The #BemisiaTabaci #whitefly devastates #crops worldwide & transmits #PlantViruses like #TYLCV. A new study by 🇺🇸researchers in PeerJ Publishing journal found that #TYLCV manipulates the #BemisiaTabaci through changes in visual & volatile cues: peerj.com/articles/17665… #Vector #Control

Viruses can be modified to deliver genetic material for improving crop traits, similar to how they are used in medicine, offering potential for #SustainableAgriculture. 📄doi.org/10.1038/s44222… 👤 EVBC member: F. Pasin #CropScience #VirusEngineering #PlantViruses

On 20 June, 🇫🇷 #VIRTIGATION partners INRAE Pathologie végétale & APREL gathered 55 stakeholders, including advisers, extension services, private #breeders & #biocontrol companies, to share our project's latest findings on the #ToBRFV & #ToLCNDV #PlantViruses👇#H2020 #EUFunded #IPM #PlantHealth

Under its agreement with Dümmen Orange, EU, Selecta One will breed and market tobacco mosaic virus-resistant petunia varieties, increasing accessibility to growers worldwide. #Floriculture #Horticulture #Varieties #PlantViruses ow.ly/SkSO50Sj6cq

The third set of #EU EIP-AGRI Practice Abstracts has been published by #VIRTIGATION, which provide useful tools and guidance to our #stakeholders fighting the the #ToBRFV & #ToLCNDV #PlantViruses: virtigation.eu/virtigation-su… #H2020 #EUFunded #PlantHealth #IPM #MultiActor #Approach

What role does a #nursery play in tackling emerging #PlantViruses? As part of our recent annual meeting, we visited the facilities of the Centro Seia nursery in #Sicily 🇮🇹. Watch our interview with their R&D manager Giovanna Causarano: youtube.com/watch?v=uak68N… #H2020 #EUfunded

Whitefly-transmitted #begomoviruses are major threats to #vegetable crops worldwide. A new review by 🇮🇳 scientists presents a global scenario of #begomoviruses, including possible #IPM strategies to combat infection by these #PlantViruses: isvsvegsci.in/index.php/vege… #PlantHealth
