Project description:Rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV) is determinant of the rice tungro disease symptom. We compare the gene responses by RTBV infection between RTBV susceptive (TN1) and resistant cultivar (TW16). TN1 infected with RTBV shows the mild stunting and leaf yellowing, although TW16 shows only mild stunting at only early infection stage, and recovers the symptoms. Keywords: virus infection, disease response
