Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAdvances in Modern Biotechnological Tools for Sustainable Control of Plant Viral DiseasesNabela Akter, Ankita Saha, Md. Abdullah Al Sabbir, Md. Motaher HossainPlant viruses pose a major threat to global food production, causing yield losses across many staple and horticultural crops. Conventional breeding for resistance is typically slow and constrained by the number of available natural resistance genes. Recent breakthroughs in biotechnology have enabled the development of accurate, flexible, and environmentally friendly technologies to confer virus resistance. This review summarizes exciting developments … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2026 · 731 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of ced-9 dsRNA on Caenorhabditis elegans and Meloidogyne incognitaRobert T. Gaeta, Abdellatif Bahaji, Glenda W. Polack, Alejandro Calderón-UrreaAbstract: Problem Statement: In metazoans Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is essential for proper development. Suppression of PCD is needed to guarantee cell survival and in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans the regulation of PCD is accomplished by the function of the ced-9 gene. Approach: In this work the use of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) to knock-down ced-9 gene function was tested … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,456 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecoding Late Blight of Potato and Tomato: Insights into Pathogen Dynamics, Host Interactions and Emerging SolutionsHumayra Ferdus, Mahabuba Mostafa, Dodi Al Sharif, Md. Motaher HossainThe oomycete Phytophthora infestans is the source of late blight, a devastating disease that significantly impacts on tomato and potato cultivation worldwide, threatening food security and causing considerable economic losses. This review explores the epidemiological dynamics of late blight, focusing on the pathogen's life cycle, reproductive strategies, and molecular pathogenesis. Traditional management strategies, including cultural practices, host resistance, and biocontrol … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 5 Feb 2026 · 2,537 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractCRISPR-CAS SYSTEM: A FEASIBLE SOLUTION FOR GETTING RID OF PERSISTENT VIRAL INFECTION?Zhaohua ZhongMany viruses, including DNA and RNA viruses, can persistently replicate in the infected cells and cause a prolonged damage. Herpes viruses can be latent in its host cells. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) reversely transcripts its RNA genome to DNA and integrates to the host’s chromosome. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) persistently stay in the host cells … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 10 Nov 2014 · 12,620 accessesView PDF Cite
