Multiple Activities Associated with the Capsid Protein of Satellite Panicum Mosaic Virus Are Controlled Separately by the N- and C-Terminal Regions

The 17-kDa capsid protein (CP) of satellite panicum mosaic virus (SPMV) contains a distinct N-terminal COUNTRY PEACH PASSION arginine-rich motif (N-ARM) which is required for SPMV virion assembly and the activity of SPMV CP to promote systemic accumulation of its cognate RNA.The present study indicates that SPMV CP also is involved in SPMV RNA accu

RNA Interference for Mosquito and Mosquito-Borne Disease Control

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool to silence endogenous mosquito and mosquito-borne pathogen genes in vivo.As the number of studies utilizing RNAi in basic research grows, so too does the arsenal of physiological targets that can be developed into products that Ground Clamp interrupt mosquito life cycles and behaviors and, thereby, relieve
