Abstract excerpt
Cucumber harbors RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 1 (RDR1) gene family of four genes (CsRDR1a, CsRDR1b, and CsRDR1c1/c2), which are induced upon virus infection. This study examined the roles of cucumber RDR1b and RDR1c1/c2 in defense against cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) during single and mixed infection with Pythium spp. Co-infection with CGMMV and the necrotrophic pathogen Pythium spinosum (P....
