Article Abstract
A virus isolate designated Angelica bushy stunt virus (AnBSV), provisionally representing a new species in the genus Caulimovirus, was discovered in the medicinal plant Angelica dahurica. The complete 8,300-nt genomic DNA of AnBSV had seven putative open reading frames containing conserved domains/motifs, which are typical features of caulimoviruses, and showed the greatest nucleotide sequence identity (74% identity and 27% query coverage) to a lamium leaf distortion virus isolate. Interestingly, the new caulimovirus exists as endogenous pararetroviral sequences in the host plant and is considered to have multiple defective plant genome-integrated copies that may lead to the generation of subgenomic DNA species.

Stylet cuticular gene-directed mutagenesis impairs the pea aphid vector capacity to transmit a plant virus.

Aphids are major agricultural pests, notably because they transmit nearly 30% of known plant viruses, including non-circulative ones. They can be collected and dispersed rapidly among crops while aphids feed on infected plants. Most of these viruses are retained on receptors located on the cuticle of the stylet tip.

Article Synopsis
- Two methods, homologous sequence search and genome alignment, were used to uncover a variety of endogenous pararetroviruses (EPRVs) in the genomes, with homologous searches yielding more sequences but genome alignment revealing different types and sources of virus-like sequences.
- The study found a notable increase in virus-like sequences in polyploid strawberries compared to diploid ones, suggesting differences in viral diversity and laying groundwork for future research on host-virus interactions and evolutionary implications.
Optimizing Promoters and Subcellular Localization for Constitutive Transgene Expression in Marchantia polymorpha.

Marchantia polymorpha has become an important model system for comparative studies and synthetic biology. The systematic characterization of genetic elements would make heterologous gene expression more predictable in this test bed for gene circuit assembly and bioproduction. Yet, the toolbox of genetic parts for Marchantia includes only a few constitutive promoters that need benchmarking to assess their utility.

Mucilage is a gelatinous and sticky hydrophilic polysaccharide released from epidermal cells of seed coat after the hydration of mature seeds and is composed primarily of unbranched rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I). In this study, we produced a recombinant endo-RG-I hydrolase from Aspergillus aculeatus (AaRhgA) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and examined its substrate preference for pyridylaminated (PA) RG-I with the various degrees of polymerization (DP). Recombinant AaRhgA requires PA-RG-I with a DP of 10 or higher for its hydrolase activity.

There is growing evidence that plant viruses manipulate their hosts and vectors in ways that increase transmission. However, to date only few viral components underlying these phenomena have been identified. Here we show that cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) protein P2 modifies the feeding behavior of its aphid vector.
