Viruses suppress the immunity of the infested plant using their movement proteins

In plants, viruses replicate and spread through plasmodesmata, a sort of bridge that allows exchanges between adjacent cells. In an article published in the journal The Plant Cell, scientists have studied the defense mechanism of plants against attacks by RNA viruses, and the way in which the latter circumvent the immunity of the infested plant using their proteins. of movement. Results with important implications for agriculture.
