Article Synopsis
- Curly top disease, caused by a virus called BCTV, is a problem for sugar beet farmers.
- A special type of sugar beet plant called KDH13 is very resistant to this virus, but scientists are still figuring out how it works.
- They found that KDH13 had fewer gene changes compared to another plant (KDH19) when infected, and certain hormones played a role in how the plants reacted to the virus.
