Abstract:
The effect of biotic and abiotic stress reduces and limits crop yields. In this study,
molybdenum created an abiotic stress condition, while biotic stress was generated by inoculation
of Tomato Bushy Stress Virus (TBSV) in Nicotiana benthamiana. TBSV is a model system in
virological studies of the activity of plant viruses, especially in most cases the model host plant
is Nicotiana benthamiana. Under various stress conditions, reactive oxygen species (ROS)
components, especially hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), are accumulated, damaging cellular
components (nucleic acids, lipids and proteins). In response to stress, plants have developed
various mechanisms to cope with these threats. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the
effect of the combined effect of molybdenum and TBSV on N. benthamiana and its ROS
accumulation.
