Evolution of virulence of a plant RNA virus in age-diverse host populations
2026-03-25
Abstract excerpt
Natural host populations are intrinsically age-structured, and developmental stages differ in susceptibility and within-host dynamics, meaning age compositions can impose distinct selective pressure on pathogens. However, how host age structure shapes viral evolution remains largely untested. We experimentally evolved turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) for five passages in Arabidopsis thaliana populations spanning seven...
