Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Genome studies are a fast-developing field of molecular plant virology, focusing on the structure of virus RNAs and DNAs, function of encoded genes, and their evolution and mapping. Recent achievements in omics technologies and bioinformatics tools have substantially increased the ability of researchers to analyze and understand genomes and to use these knowledges in biotechnology as well as plant breeding. The purpose of this Special Issue is to report recent progress in genomic studies in plant viruses. This includes but is not limited to genome sequencing, genome structure and organization, infectious virus genome assembly, gene prediction, comparative genomics and transcriptomics, genome and protein evolution, gene editing, expression profiling, the functions of specific genes, and protein–protein interactions between virus polypeptides as well as between viral and host products. Bioinformatics tools and databases assisting genomic and transcriptomic data analyses are also welcomed.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) contains rich bioactive ingredients and secondary metabolites; hence, it has been used as medicine and food product. This study systematically quantified the nutrient contents, the total content of phenolic acids (TPC), flavonoids (TFC), and triterpenoids (TTC) in seven different cultivars of bitter gourd. This study also estimated the organic acid content and antioxidative capacity of different cultivars of bitter gourd. Although the TPC, TFC, TTC, organic acid content, and antioxidative activity differed significantly among different cultivars of bitter gourd, significant correlations were also observed in the obtained data. In the metabolomics analysis, 370 secondary metabolites were identified in seven cultivars of bitter gourd; flavonoids and phenolic acids were significantly more. Differentially accumulated metabolites identified in this study were mainly associated with secondary metabolic pathways, including pathways of flavonoid, flavonol, isoflavonoid, flavone, folate, and phenylpropanoid biosyntheses. A number of metabolites (n = 27) were significantly correlated (positive or negative) with antioxidative capacity (r ≥ 0.7 and p < 0.05). The outcomes suggest that bitter gourd contains a plethora of bioactive compounds; hence, bitter gourd may potentially be applied in developing novel molecules of medicinal importance. Full article

As a continuation of our previous work, in this paper, we examine in greater detail the genome organization and some protein properties of the members of a potential group named Reclovirids and belonging to Benyviridae-related viruses. It can be proposed that the single-component Reclovirid genomes encode previously undiscovered transport genes. Indeed, analysis of the coding potential of these novel viral genomes reveals one or more cistrons ranging in size from 40 to 80 to about 600 codons, located in the 3′-terminal region of the genomic RNA, encoding proteins with predicted hydrophobic segments that are structurally diverse among Reclovirids and have no analogues in other plant RNA viruses. Additionally, in many cases, the possible methyltransferase domain of Reclovirid replicases is preceded by membrane-embedded protein segments that are not present in annotated members of the Benyviridae family. These observations suggest a general association of most Reclovirid proteins with cell membranes. Full article
