Peroxidase is involved in Pepper yellow mosaic virus resistance in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum

L. S. A. Gonçalves, Rodrigues, R., Diz, M. S. S., Robaina, R. R., Júnior, A. Tdo Amaral, Carvalho, A. O., and Gomes, V. M., Peroxidase is involved in Pepper yellow mosaic virus resistance in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum, vol. 12, pp. 1411-1420, 2013.

Pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs) are among the defense mechanisms of plants that work as an important barrier to the development of pathogens. These proteins are classified into 17 families according to their amino acid sequences, serology, and/or biological or enzyme activity. The present study aimed to identify PRs associated with the pathosystem of Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum: Pepper yellow mosaic virus (PepYMV). Forty-five-day-old plants from accession UENF 1624, previously identified as resistant to PepYMV, were inoculated with the virus.
