Wheat lncRNA-encoded peptide TaLEP1 promotes autophagy, degrading viral NIb for broad-spectrum resistance.
A wheat lncRNA-encoded peptide promotes autophagy and targets viral NIb for degradation to confer antiviral resistance.
Abstract
The lncRNA-encoded peptide TaLEP1 enhances wheat resistance to WYMV and other Potyviridae by recruiting viral replicase NIb to autophagosomes for degradation.
