“…To suppress the host anti-viral RNA silencing, many plant viruses have evolved viral suppressor of RNA silencing (VSR) proteins [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. The P0 proteins have been identified as VSR in many poleroviruses, including Turnip yellows virus (TuYV), Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV), Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), Beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV), Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV), Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (ScYLV), Melon aphid-borne yellows virus (MABYV), Maize yellow mosaic virus (MaYMV), Cereal yellow dwarf virus (CYDV), Wheat yellow dwarf virus -GPV isolate (WYDV-GPV), Maize yellow dwarf virus-RMV 2 (MYDV-RMV2), and Pea mild chlorosis virus (PMCV) [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. The amino acid sequence of P0 proteins throughout the genus shows low identity and the RNA silencing suppressor (RSS) activity of the P0 proteins varies between different viruses.…”
