About this Research Topic
Even with the significant progress that has been made in the study of plant-virus interactions, the use of this knowledge in crop production is lacking. It is important to dissect the genetic basis of plant-virus resistance and develop effective strategies to obtain resistance against viruses in the field. This Research Topic will focus on cutting-edge research regarding plant genetics and biochemicals, as well as new biostimulators and phytosanitary approaches that can improve plant resistance against viruses.
We welcome submissions of original research papers, reviews, and new ideas or methods related, but not limited to the following topics:
-Identification of novel genes and/or pathways conferring plant virus resistance
-Plant NOD-like receptor (NLR) diversity and pan-NLRomes
-Identification and characterization of plant host mechanisms induced by viruses
-Mechanisms of induced resistance and the epigenetic control of defense pathways
-Host-virus genetic and/or protein-protein interaction networks
-Identification and/or validation of biostimulators and/or microorganisms able to induce virus resistance in plants
Keywords: plant virus resistance, virus resistance mechanisms, virus resistance biostimulators, plant antiviral immunity memory, plant induced resistance, plant immunity priming, ETI, PTI, NLR genes
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
