Abstract excerpt
Plant defences are assumed to evolve in response to the negative effects of virus infection on plant fitness (virulence), and to drive plant-virus coevolution. However, viruses are not always antagonistic symbionts of plants, and the expression of defence traits is environment-dependent. Thus, understanding plant-virus interactions requires analysing the expression of defence traits in the host's native habitat....
