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. Compared with genes from mock-inoculated control plants, seedlings to adults, 214 of the 3313 tomato genes represented on the array were differentially expressed in CMV-infected plants. Functional classification of CMV-responsive genes revealed that CMV activated typical basal defense responses in the host during the infection process, including induction of defense-related genes, production and scavenging of free oxygen radicals, and hormone synthesis. CMV infection also suppressed a subset of host genes involved in photosynthesis and metabolism. Our results indicate that a wide range of genes play an important role in regulation of the tomato susceptibility response to CMV.

Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) poses a major threat to crops like Chinese cabbage, causing significant economic losses. A viable and effective strategy to manage such diseases is by improvement of genetic-based viral resistance. To achieve this, it is important to have detailed and wide-ranging genetic resources, necessitating genetic exploration.

This study investigates the application of levan- produced from Paenibacillus polymyxa SG09-12 as an antiviral agent against cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). A high-purity microbial levan was produced and purified using diafiltration. The chemical composition, structure, and functional groups of the levan were characterised using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Plant viruses represent a major threat to agriculture, affecting a wide range of crops with substantial economic losses. This study presented a novel strategy for managing plant viral diseases through the development an attenuated vaccine utilizing cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) for virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) targeting susceptibility gene. TOBAMOVIRUS MULTIPLICATION 2A (TOM2A) gene was identified as a critical factor that enhances susceptibility to TMV infection in plants.
