Interaction estimation of pathogenicity determinant protein βC1 encoded by Cotton leaf curl Multan Betasatellite with Nicotiana benthamiana Nuclear Transport Factor 2.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Begomovirus is one of the most devastating pathogens that can cause more than 90% yield loss in various crop plants. The pathogenicity determinant βC1, located on the betasatellite associated with monopartite begomoviruses, alters the host signaling mechanism to enhance the viral disease phenotype by undermining the host immunity. The understanding of its interacting proteins in host plants to develop disease symptoms such as curly leaves, enations, vein swelling, and chlorosis is crucial to enhance the disease resistance in crop plants. The current study was designed to reveal the contribution of βC1 in disease pathogenicity and to unveil potential interacting partners of βC1 protein in the model plant Nicotiana benthamiana.

Methods

The βC1 gene was cloned
