CCMB Scientists Decode ‘Sticky’ Molecular Traps Used by Plants to Arrest Viral Infections

HYDERABAD, MAY 13, 2026:  Researchers at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have revealed a key plant defence system in plants.  Plants are known to use liquid-like, sticky protein droplets to trap and disable invading viruses. Their study, led by Dr. Mandar V. Deshmukh and published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), provides a molecular-level mechanism for this process. Many viruses contain double-st…
