RNA-Seq
This study aims to investigate the transcriptional response of Nicotiana benthamiana to Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection. RNA-seq was performed on root samples collected from TMV-inoculated and mock-inoculated plants at a specific time point post-inoculation. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that the LRX1 gene was significantly upregulated in response to TMV infection, suggesting its potential role in modulating host defense or cell wall-related processes during viral infection.
