Integrated transcriptome and microRNA sequencing analyses reveal gene responses in poplar leaves infected by the novel pathogen bean common mosaic virus (BCMV).

ABSTRACT: Recently, a novel poplar mosaic disease caused by bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) was investigated in Populus alba var. pyramidalis in China. Symptom characteristics, physiological performance of the host, histopathology, genome sequences and vectors, and gene regulation at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels were analyzed and RT-qPCR (quantitative reverse transcription PCR) validation of expression was performed in our experiments. In this work, the mechanisms by which the BCMV pathogen impacts physiological performance and the molecular mechanisms of the poplar response to viral infection were reported. The results showed that BCMV infection decreased the chlorophyll content, inhibited the net photosynthesis rate (Pn) and stomatal conductance (Gs), and signif
