Virus-Induced Necrosis Is a Consequence of Direct Protein-Protein Interaction between a Viral RNA-Silencing Suppressor and a Host Catalase
28 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Many plant host factors are known to interact with viral proteins during pathogenesis, but how a plant virus induces a specific disease symptom still needs further research. A lily strain of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-HL) can induce discrete necrotic spots on infected Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants; other CMV strains can induce similar spots, but they are not as distinct as those induced by CMV-HL. The...
