Abstract:
The TBSV P19 protein is a plant RNA interference suppressor.
The study of the mechanism of action of the TBSV P19 protein as a protective
strategy of the virus has an important role in understanding the interaction of two
organisms in the struggle for survival. The P19 protein, encoded by the Tomato
bushy stunt virus (TBSV), is a potent suppressor of RNA-interference and plays an
important role in the infection of plants with Nicotiana benthamiana virus.
Expression of the P19 protein leads to complete plant collapse, which leads to more
pronounced virus damage.
