Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation The TSWV nonstructural protein NSs specifically interacts with SnRK1α in Nicotiana benthamiana.
- Mechanism NbSnRK1α promotes degradation of NSs via the 26S proteasome pathway, independently of autophagy.
- Mechanism NbSnRK1α significantly impairs the VSR activity of NSs by promoting its degradation.
- Mechanism NbSnRK1α restores the host RNAi-mediated antiviral defense in Nicotiana benthamiana.
- Association NbSnRK1α inhibits TSWV replication.
- Intervention effect Silencing NbSnRK1α enhanced the susceptibility of Nicotiana benthamiana to TSWV infection.
- Intervention effect Silencing NbSnRK1α facilitated systemic viral spread and disease symptom development of TSWV in Nicotiana benthamiana.
