Diverse Regulations of Viral and Host Genes in Tomato Germplasms Responding to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Inoculation

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus(TYLCV)is the dominating pathogen of tomato yellow leaf curl disease that caused severe loss to tomato production in China.In this study,we found that a TYLCV-resistant tomato line drastically reduced the accumulation of viral complementary-sense strand mRNAs but just moderately inhibited that of viral DNA and virion-sense strand mRNAs.However,two other resistant lines did not have such virus inhibition pattern.Analysis of differential expressed genes showed that the potential host defense-relevant processes varied in different resistant tomatoes,as compared to the susceptible line,suggesting a diversity of tomato TYLCV-resistance mechanisms.
