Stress associated proteins coordinate the activation of comprehensive antiviral immunity in Phalaenopsis orchids.

Viruses cause great loss on crops. Identification of key gene(s) involved in antiviral immunity will provide insights for designing effective antiviral strategies on crops. Salicylic acid (SA)-signaling immunity and RNAi are two independent discovered antiviral immune pathways; however, whether the two pathways are connected remain elusive. Our finding revealed that that Pha21 as well as Pha13 coordinate the RNAi and SA-mediated immune pathways for comprehensive active antiviral immunity.
