RNA processing and decay pathways have important impacts on RNA viruses, particularly animal-infecting bunyaviruses, which utilize a cap-snatching mechanism to translate their mRNAs. However, their effects on plant-infecting bunyaviruses have not been investigated. The roles of mRNA degradation and...
