Deskripsi

Turnip mosaic virusinfection increases the performance of aphid vectors on host plants. Here the authors show that this phenomenon requires relocalization of a viral protease to host cell vacuoles and that this only occurs when aphids are present, suggesting a viral protein responds dynamically to a vector.
