Once a seed germinates, it is committed to one location. Plants are sessile—stuck where they started out—forced to cope with ...
Small RNAs are short RNA molecules that help determine which genes in a cell are switched on or off. Until now, it was assumed that the small RNAs necessary for pollen development originate in the ...
Nicole Steinmetz engineers plant virus nanoparticles into versatile drug-delivery platforms. This work expanded into cancer ...
I have had trouble with watermelon mosaic virus in the past. Is there a way to cure this or at least control the problem? Watermelon mosaic virus is related to other mosaic virus such as tobacco ...
A virus that infects the humble black-eyed pea plant is showing great promise as a low-cost, potent cancer immunotherapy—thanks to researchers at the University of California San Diego. The team led ...
A common plant virus once known only for infecting black-eyed peas is now taking center stage in cancer research. This virus, known as cowpea mosaic virus or CPMV, is being studied as a promising, ...
A common plant virus awakens the immune system to fight cancer—and it’s grown using sunlight, soil, and science. Credit: Shutterstock A virus normally found in black-eyed peas is emerging as a ...
A virus from humble black-eyed peas is showing extraordinary promise in the fight against cancer. Unlike other plant viruses, the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) can awaken the human immune system and ...
A virus that typically infects black-eyed peas is showing great promise as a low-cost, potent cancer immunotherapy—and researchers are uncovering why. In a study published in Cell Biomaterials, a team ...
Side-by-side illustration of the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV, left), which has potent cancer-fighting effects, and the closely related cowpea cholorotic virus (CCMV, right), which does not exhibit ...
Today’s column continues the theme of plant viruses introduced in this column last week. A virus can reduce a plant’s growth, lower its yield, and result in inferior fruit, vegetables and flowers.
