Viral Strain-Specific Activation of Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern-Triggered Immunity Enhances Symptom Severity in Broad Bean Wilt Virus 2 Infection.

ABSTRACT: Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2) is an emerging virus in various economically important crops, especially pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), worldwide. Recently, the emergence of various BBWV2 strains that induce severe symptoms has increased damage to pepper crops. While the symptomatic variations among virus strains should be associated with differences in the transcriptomic reprogramming of host plants upon infection, underlying molecular mechanisms and associated genes are largely unknown. In the present study, we employed transcriptome analysis to identify responsible host factors for symptom enhancement in the BBWV2-pepper pathosystem using two distinct BBWV2 strains, PAP1 (a severe strain) and RP1 (a mild strain). Comparative analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) rev
