Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is widely spread worldwide, causing typical systemic mosaic and other symptoms in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Host responses to CMV and molecular mechanisms associated with the development of disease symptoms caused by this virus in tomato are largely unexplored. To investigate plant responses activated during this interaction, we used microarray analysis to monitor changes in host gene expression during disease development.

Clearly, there is a far-reaching need to identify and profile the expression of miRNAs in this important crop under various physiological and pathological conditions. In this study, we used an in situ synthesized custom microarray of plant miRNAs to examine the expression and temporal presence of miRNAs in the leaves of tomato plants infected with Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV).

- The study compares genetic diversity between wild and captive Elliot's Pheasants, revealing that wild individuals possess significantly higher genetic diversity.
- Nucleotide and haplotype diversity measures were notably lower in captive birds, indicating limited genetic variation.
- The lower genetic diversity in the captive population is attributed to a small number of founding individuals, highlighting the need for better genetic management in conservation efforts.
