Article Synopsis
- The study cloned and sequenced eIF4E and eIF(iso)4E cDNAs from different lettuce genotypes varying in their resistance to Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV).
- The research found that variations in three eIF4E alleles correlated with the presence of specific recessive LMV resistance genes, providing evidence of a genetic link between eIF4E and LMV resistance.
- Functional tests showed that certain eIF4E variants can support LMV accumulation, suggesting that these proteins are key factors in the LMV life cycle in lettuce and influence the plant's resistance to potyviruses.
