摘要: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an important because of its agricultural impact in the Mediterranean Basin and worldwide, also as a model for understanding plant–virus interactions. This review focuses on those areas where most progress has been made over past decade our CMV. Clearly, deep role recently described CMV 2b gene suppression host RNA silencing viral virulence discovery. These findings have had well beyond itself, tool studies eukaryotic regulation. Protein was shown to be involved steps cycle interfere with several basal defenses. Progress concerning mechanisms replication movement. However, only few proteins that interact identified, making this area research major efforts are still needed. Another advances population genetics, contrasting results were obtained. On one hand, prone recombination show high genetic diversity based sequence data different isolates. other populations did not exhibit variability either within plants, or even field nearby wild plants. The situation partially clarified finding severe bottlenecks occur during both movement plant transmission between Finally, novel undertaken elucidate leading selection population, according environment, opening new coevolution.
