Transcriptomic and functional analyses reveal an antiviral role of autophagy during pepper mild mottle virus infection

Abstract Background Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) is a member in the genus Tobamovirus and infects mainly solanaceous plants.However, the mechanism of virus-host interactions remains unclear.To explore the responses of pepper plants to PMMoV infection, we analyzed the transcriptomic changes in pepper plants after PMMoV infection using a high-thr
