Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Foliar AgNPs reduced the percentage of virus infection and disease severity in faba bean and potato plants.
- Intervention effect AgNPs at 50 mg/ml were more effective against BYMV in faba bean, with reduction infection and disease severity of 9.75 and 10.50.
- Intervention effect AgNPs were less effective against PVY in potato than against BYMV in faba bean, with reduction infection and disease severity of 14.50 and 18.25.
- Observation AgNPs-treated faba bean and potato plants showed induced transcriptional expression of pathogen-related protein PR-2.
- Intervention effect AgNPs-treated plants infected with BYMV showed an increased number of expressed proteins, with five bands, compared with untreated infected plants.
- Intervention effect AgNPs-treated plants infected with PVY showed an increased number of expressed proteins, with six bands, compared with untreated infected plants.
- Intervention effect AgNPs-treated infected plants showed increased total soluble protein, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase levels.
- Intervention effect AgNPs-treated infected plants showed increased proline, salicylic acid and total phenolic compound levels.
- Observation SDS-PAGE revealed distinct protein patterns in AgNPs-treated faba bean and potato plants infected with BYMV and PVY.
- Mechanism AgNPs are proposed to bind viral protein coats, aggregate virus particles and prevent their spread in host cells.
