To counteract host antiviral RNA silencing, plant viruses express suppressor proteins that function as pathogenicity enhancers. The genome of the Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) (genus <i>Crinivirus</i>, family <i>Closteroviridae</i>) encodes an RNA silencing suppressor, the protein p22, that has been described as having one of the longest lasting local suppressor activities when assayed in <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i>. Since suppression of RNA silencing and the ability to enhance disease severity ...[more]
