Investigate changes in defense signaling pathways, RNA silencing, and gene expression in susceptible cucumber plants during early and late stages of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus infection.
Inoculated a susceptible inbred line of Cucumis sativus L. with cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV).
Performed comparative RNA-seq transcriptomic profiling between infected plants and healthy control plants at early and late stages of infection.
RNA silencing was strongly suppressed in CGMMV-infected cucumber plants.
Salicylic acid and ethylene signaling pathways were induced, whereas jasmonic acid pathway genes and pathogenesis-related protein genes showed negligible expression changes.
WRKY and NAC transcription factors exhibited the highest sensitivity to CGMMV infection among all transcription factor families analyzed.
