Bimodal dynamics of primary metabolism-related responses in tolerant potato-Potato virus Y interaction

摘要

BackgroundPotato virus Y (PVY) is a major pathogen that causes substantial economic losses in worldwide potato production. Different potato cultivars differ in resistance to PVY, from severe susceptibility, through tolerance, to complete resistance. The aim of this study was to better define the mechanisms underlying tolerant responses of potato to infection by the particularly aggressive PVY^NTN strain. We focused on the dynamics of the primary metabolism-related processes during PVY^NTN infection.
