Observations reveal asymmetric interactions between viruses affecting oilseed rape and Nicotiana benthamiana, suggesting significant agronomic implications.
Key Points
The study aims to explore the interactions between Brassica yellow virus and turnip mosaic virus during mixed infections in oilseed rape and Nicotiana benthamiana.
Constructed infectious clones of BrYV-GZA, BrYV-GZB, and TuMV-GFP.
Examined the effects of mixed infections on viral accumulation and plant traits.
Conducted symptom analysis on oilseed rape and N. benthamiana.
BrYV-GZA significantly inhibited TuMV in N. benthamiana.
TuMV incidence was lower in co-infected oilseed rape with BrYV-GZA than in TuMV alone.
Infections reduced oilseed rape height and altered fatty acid composition.
