We had isolated and identified two Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolates, the CMV red bean (CMV-RB) isolate and the CMV pea (CMV-P1) isolate. CMV-RB induces necrotic local lesions on inoculated leaves of broad bean, pe...
Diclinism is not only an interesting natural phenomenon in plant kingdom, but also of significance in the yield of crops, e.g. cucumber and watermelon. Cucumber has been a model plant for studying the diclinism for de...
THE photosystem Ⅱ light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein complex (LHC Ⅱ) is a kind of integral membrane protein complex in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts from higher plants and green algae, and its most i...
In recent years, the rapid development of techniques in plant genetic engineering has provided a new way for breeding virus-resistance plants. Powell et al. constructed the cDNA gene encoding the coat protein(CP)of to...
The acetylated N-termini of the coat proteins of TMV were found in 1958 by Narita. Up to now, a lot of acetylated N-termini of the proteins have been reported, such as the coat proteins of tobacco mosaic virus, cucumb...
The plant virus diseases is a serious problem in agriculture, but so far there is no effective control method. To find a new way to control virus diseases is an imperative task of Virologists. Since 1981, we have stud...
Cucumber is an important vegetable crop in many countries and a useful material for plant genetic manipulation. Colony formation from cucumber protoplasts, without shoot regeneration, has been reported. There has been...
