TOM1 family conservation within the plant kingdom for tobacco mosaic virus accumulation.

ABSTRACT: The susceptibility factor TOBAMOVIRUS MULTIPLICATION 1 (TOM1) is required for efficient multiplication of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Although some phylogenetic and functional analyses of the TOM1 family members have been conducted, a comprehensive analysis of the TOM1 homologues based on phylogeny from the most ancient to the youngest representatives within the plant kingdom, analysis of support for tobamovirus accumulation and interaction with other host and viral proteins has not been reported. In this study, using Nicotiana benthamiana and TMV as a model system, we functionally characterized the TOM1 homologues from N. benthamiana and other plant species from different plant lineages. We modified a multiplex genome editing tool and generated a sextuple mutant in which TMV multiplicatio
