Insights into the role of ethylene perception in tomato resistance to vascular infection by Verticillium dahliae
2010-02-01
Abstract excerpt
A Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-based virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system was employed to investigate the role of the tomato ethylene receptor ETR4. By comparing wilting symptoms of verticillium wilt in wild-type, ethylene-insensitive Never ripe (Nr) mutant tomato plants and ETR4-silenced plants, it was demonstrated that disease severity in the Nr and ETR4-silenced plants was statistically reduced compared to...
