Abstract excerpt
Tobaccos VAM and NC745 carry the recessive va gene that confers resistance to PVY(NN). However, they exhibit different levels of resistance durability. Upon virus inoculation, only NC745 developed sporadic systemic symptoms caused by emerging resistance-breaking variants that easily infected both NC745 and VAM genotypes. To identify the differential host conditions associated with this phenomenon, cellular...
