Abstract excerpt
Geminiviruses severely threaten global crop production. Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) encodes multifunctional effector C4, which participates in diverse biological processes and interacts with host proteins to facilitate infection. Despite extensive studies on geminiviral C4, how TYLCV C4 suppresses tomato immunity remains poorly characterized. In this study, we identified the tomato 14-3-3 protein SlTFT2...
