Begomoviral pre-coat protein boosts potato virus X in mixed infection through interfering with antiviral RNAi response
The present study, for the first time, reports that begomoviruses promote the pathogenesis of potato virus X during mixed infection and identifies begomoviral pre-coat protein (V2/AV2) as a key player in mediating this virus-virus interaction. We further demonstrated that the silencing suppression activity of V2 is important for regulating PVX titre in mixed-infected plants.
