Abstract excerpt
The translation initiation factors 4E are a small family of major susceptibility factors to potyviruses. It has been suggested that knocking out these genes could provide genetic resistance in crops when natural resistance alleles, which encode functional eIF4E proteins, are not available. Here, using the well-characterized Arabidopsis thaliana-potyvirus pathosystem, we evaluate the resistance spectrum of plants...
