Comprehensive proteomic profiling of Cucumber mosaic virus infection: identifying key proteins and pathways involved in resistance and susceptibility in melon.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is the model species of the Cucurbitaceae family and an important crop. However, its yield is primarily affected by viruses. Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is particularly significant due to its broad host range, capable of infecting over 100 plant families. Resistance to CMV in the melon accession Songwhan Charmi (SC) is controlled by the recessive gene cmv1, which encodes the Vacuolar Protein Sorting 41, involved in vesicle transport to the vacuole. cmv1 restricts the virus to the bundle sheath cells and impedes viral access to the phloem, preventing a systemic infection. This phenotype depends on the viral movement protein (MP). However, little is known about the broader cellular changes that CMV triggers in melon or the specific biological respon
