This project investigates the Cucumber mosaic virus and its 2b protein, which helps the virus evade plant defenses against insects. The research aims to understand how this protein affects resistance to aphids, which spread the virus among plants.
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the two most important viruses of field-grown and glasshouse crops in the EU and worldwide, causing considerable losses annually.
Moreover CMV attacks more crop and wild-plant species than any other virus. A key contributor to the success of CMV is a recently-discovered factor made by the virus: the 2b protein.
Until recently the most important known role for the 2b protein was that it counterattacks resistance mechanisms that plants use to defend against vi…
