Transcriptome analysis of wild-type and SLCMV BV1-transgenic plants in response to Salicylic Acid treatment
This project aims to investigate the molecular mechanism by which the SLCMV (Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus) BV1 protein modulates plant defense responses. We performed RNA-seq to compare the transcriptional profiles of wild-type (WT) and BV1-overexpressing transgenic plants under control (Ethanol solvent) and 1.0 mM Salicylic Acid (SA) treatment conditions. The results will help elucidate the interaction between viral movement proteins and the SA-mediated signaling pathway in plants.
