Plant Science Research Weekly -- Review: The why, why and how of symptom development in viral disease (Annu. Rev. Phytopathology) (Summary by Mary Williams @PlantTeaching.bsky.social) @geminiteamlab.bsky.social buff.ly/dsQwgbo

Review: The what, how and why of symptom development in viral disease | Plantae
I was initially drawn to this review by curiosity about its title; I realized I hadn’t ever wondered how and why viral infections cause symptoms in plants. I’m so glad I looked into it!

Splicing was discovered in adenoviruses, but was thought to be only anecdotal in plant viruses... We may need to revisit plant viral transcriptomes and proteomes!

How do geminiviruses maximize their limited coding capacity? Our recent preprint uncovers splicing of viral transcripts as one more strategy used by this viral family. We show that RNA splicing is prevalent in the geminivirus TYLCV — and required for infectivity! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Inspiring time at @ismpmi.bsky.social, where I had the honour of sharing my PhD work on repurposing viruses for plant biomanufacturing. It was great to reconnect with old friends (special shoutout to @geminiteamlab.bsky.social 💚) and meet so many researchers pushing plant–microbe science forward 🌱🧬🧫

Previous studies of extrachromosomal circular DNA #eccDNA in #plants are based on short-read seq. @vanderschuren-lab.bsky.social uses long-read seq to obtain a map of full-length eccDNAs from #Arabidopsis, identifying their genomic origins & epigenetic regulation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/44Mq3RI
Dynamics and distribution of eccDNA in Arabidopsis. Left: Schematic representation of eccDNA amplification and sequencing via CIDER-Seq pipeline. Top right: EccDNA size distribution in Arabidopsis Col-0 leaf tissues (n = 4,158). The x-axis shows eccDNA size in kb and the y-axis shows the percentage of eccDNAs belonging to each window. Middle right: Size ranges of eccDNAs with marked median and quantiles (n = 4,190). Bottom right: Percentages of eccDNA reads mapping to TAIR CDS, TE, or intergenic databases (values represent the average of three replicates).
