Phenotypic and genomic changes during Turnip mosaic virus adaptation to Arabidopsis thaliana mutants lacking epigenetic regulatory factors

This study shows RNA viruses adapt to epigenetic plant defenses by increasing infectivity, virulence, and viral load, with adaptation primarily targeting the VPg protein.

Viral fitness determines the magnitude of transcriptomic and epigenomic reprogramming of defense responses in plants

The paper investigates how viral adaptation affects transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in Arabidopsis thaliana during antiviral responses, finding that DNA methylation and histone modifications play a role in defense.
