Article Synopsis
- A proteomic analysis of C. papaya infected by the papaya meleira virus complex (PMeV-complex) revealed significant changes in protein levels linked to photosynthesis and cell wall dynamics during the plant's development.
- The study identified 345 proteins with altered accumulation across different growth stages, indicating that the plant undergoes various responses to the infection, especially during the juvenile and transition phases.
- Results showed that younger infected plants had enhanced photosynthetic protein levels and energy efficiency, but struggled with maintaining cell wall integrity over time, leading to latex loss and suggesting a need for genetic improvements for better resistance to the virus.
Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a fleshy fruit that presents a rapid pulp softening during ripening. However, the timeline on how papaya pectinases act in polysaccharide solubilization and the consequent modification of the cell wall fractions during ripening is still not clear.
