Immune Response of Lycopersicon esculentum against the Tomato mosaic virus
Journal Title: International Journal of Biochemistry Research & Review - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
The tomato plant (Lycopersicon esculentum) is a crop rich in nutriments but is susceptible to infection such as mosaic caused by the Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV). In this review it will be described some mechanisms that L. esculentum have developed to overcome the infection amongst ToMV such as the Hypersensitive Response in which participate the resistance proteins Tm-1, Tm-2, and Tm-22, as well as the Antiviral RNA Silencing. Some insights for ToMV control are discussed.
