Dual functional plant gene inhibits viral infection and development of systemic necrosis symptom by distinct mechanisms in Arabidopsis.

Specific targeting of host genes by plant viruses leads to the induction of distinct disease symptoms with devastating consequences for agriculture. However, it i unknown whether plants have evolved genes to specifically inhibit development of viral disease symptoms. Here we identified the causal gene of two Arabidopsi...
