Valmonte-Cortes G, Higgins C, MacDiarmid R
Plants (Basel) . 2025 Jan; 14(2). PMID: 39861648
Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) are plant proteins that directly bind calcium ions before phosphorylating substrates involved in biotic and abiotic stress responses, as well as development. CPK3 () is involved...

Khalifa M, Ayllon M, Rodriguez Coy L, Plummer K, Gendall A, Chooi K, et al.
Viruses . 2024 Sep; 16(9). PMID: 39339959
Mycoviruses are highly genetically diverse and can significantly change their fungal host's phenotype, yet they are generally under-described in genotypic and biological studies. We propose as a model mycovirus system...

Chooi K, Bell V, Blouin A, Sandanayaka M, Gough R, Chhagan A, et al.
Adv Virus Res . 2024 Mar; 118:213-272. PMID: 38461030
Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) is a major pathogen of grapevines worldwide resulting in grapevine leafroll disease (GLD), reduced fruit yield, berry quality and vineyard profitability. Being graft transmissible, GLRaV-3...

Khalifa M, MacDiarmid R
Viruses . 2023 Nov; 15(11). PMID: 38005831
Mycoviruses can infect many of the major taxa of fungi including yeasts. Mycoviruses in the yeast fungus are not well studied with only three -associated viral species characterized to date,...

Rodriguez Coy L, Plummer K, Khalifa M, MacDiarmid R
Front Fungal Biol . 2023 Sep; 3:965781. PMID: 37746227
Plants, fungi, and many other eukaryotes have evolved an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism that is key for regulating gene expression and the control of pathogens. RNAi inhibits gene expression, in...

Kuhn J, Abe J, Adkins S, Alkhovsky S, Avsic-Zupanc T, Ayllon M, et al.
J Gen Virol . 2023 Aug; 104(8). PMID: 37622664
In April 2023, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum was amended and emended. The phylum was expanded by...

Chooi K, Bell V, Blouin A, Cohen D, Mundy D, Henshall W, et al.
Viruses . 2022 Jul; 14(7). PMID: 35891330
Grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) constrains wine production worldwide. In New Zealand, the main causal agent of GLD is grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3). To control GLD, an integrated management program...

Viruses . 2022 Feb; 14(2). PMID: 35215841
A new dsRNA virus from the oomycete has been characterized and designated as Phytophthora pluvialis RNA virus 1 (PplRV1). The genome of the PplRV1 reference genome is 6742 bp that...

Plants (Basel) . 2022 Jan; 11(2). PMID: 35050076
To our knowledge, there are no reports that demonstrate the use of host molecular markers for the purpose of detecting generic plant virus infection. Two approaches involving molecular indicators of...
