Low-Dose Gamma Irradiation Alters Gene Expression in ToBRFV-Infected Tomato Plants

Low-Dose Gamma Irradiation Alters Gene Expression in ToBRFV-Infected Tomato Plantsby GOAI Share ToTomato plants infected with the tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) exhibit altered gene expression in response to low-dose gamma irradiation, according to a new study. Researchers investigated these transcriptomic changes to understand how irradiation affects the plant’s response to the virus. The study revealed that low-dose gamma irradiation induces changes in the expression of genes related to various biological processes in ToBRFV-infected tomatoes. These processes include plant hormone signal transduction, plant-pathogen interaction, and the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the plant’s response to the combined stress of viral infection and irradiation.
