Activity of Nitric Oxide Is Dependent On, But Is Partially Required for Function of, Salicylic Acid in the Signaling Pathway in Tobacco Systemic Acquired Resistance

When tobacco plants were treated by injection with nitric oxide (NO)-releasing compounds, the sizes of lesions caused by Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) on the treated leaves and on upper nontreated leaves were significantly reduced.The reduction in TMV lesion size was caused by NO released from the NO-releasing compounds; the byproduct formed after rel

Insights into the Pathogenesis and Development of Recombinant Japanese Encephalitis Virus Genotype 3 as a Vaccine

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a flavivirus transmitted by mosquitoes, has caused epidemics and severe neurological diseases in Asian countries.In this study, we developed a cDNA infectious clone, pBAC JYJEV3, of the JEV genotype 3 strain (EF571853.1) using a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vector.The constructed infectious clone was tran
