Transcriptional Analysis of the Differences between ToLCNDV-India and ToLCNDV-ES Leading to Contrary Symptom Development in Cucumber.

ABSTRACT: Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus-ES (ToLCNDV-ES), a high threat to cucurbits in the Mediterranean Basin, is listed as a different strain from the Asian ToLCNDV isolates. In this study, the infectivity of two clones previously isolated from Italy and Pakistan were compared in cucumbers, which resulted in the opposite symptom appearance. The swapping subgenome was processed; however, the mechanisms related to the disease phenotype remain unclear. To identify the disease-associated genes that could contribute to symptom development under the two ToLCNDV infections, the transcriptomes of ToLCNDV-infected and mock-inoculated cucumber plants were compared 21 days postinoculation. The number of differentially expressed genes in ToLCNDV-India-infected plants was 10 times higher than in ToLCNDV-ES-
