<i>Brachypodium</i> Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase (PAL) Promotes Antiviral Defenses against <i>Panicum mosaic virus</i> and Its Satellites

Abstract

Although the role of plant defense mechanisms against viruses are relatively well studied in dicots and in incompatible plant-microbe interactions, studies of their roles in compatible interactions and in grasses are lagging behind. In this study, we leveraged the emerging grass model BrachypodiumPanicum mosaic virus
