Article Synopsis
  • Growing virus-resistant plant varieties can effectively prevent yield losses from viral infections.
  • The challenge lies in identifying resistance donors within plant species and introducing their resistance alleles into high-performing genetic backgrounds.
  • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have the potential to accelerate the mapping of both simple and complex resistance traits, with 48 existing studies successfully identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with plant virus resistance, highlighting important steps in the GWAS process.

As obligatory parasites, plant viruses alter host cellular metabolism. There is a lack of information on the variability of virus-induced metabolic responses among genetically diverse plants in a natural context with daily changing conditions. To decipher the metabolic landscape of plant-virus interactions in a natural setting, twenty-six and ten accessions of were inoculated with (TuMV), in two field experiments over 2 years.

Background: Stevia rebaudiana (Asteraceae), native from Paraguay, accumulates steviol glycosides (SGs) into its leaves. These compounds exhibit acaloric intense sweet taste which answers to consumer demands for reducing daily sugar intake. Despite the developpement of S.

, for which cultivation is on the increase worldwide, accumulates acaloric intense sweeteners called steviol glycosides (SGs) in its leaves. Yields can be affected by Septoria leaf spot (SLS) caused by spp. The objectives of the research were (1) to morphologically and genetically characterize five isolates of sp.

The genetic architecture of plant response to viruses has often been studied in model nonnatural pathosystems under controlled conditions. There is an urgent need to elucidate the genetic architecture of the response to viruses in a natural setting. A field experiment was performed in each of two years.
