RESUMEN
Plant viruses have multiple strategies to counter and evade the host's antiviral immune response. However, limited research has been conducted on the antiviral defense mechanisms commonly targeted by distinct types of plant viruses. In this study, we discovered that NUCLEAR FACTOR-YC (NF-YC) and NUCLEAR FACTOR-YA (NF-YA), 2 essential components of the NF-Y complex, were commonly targeted by viral proteins encoded by 2 different rice (Oryza sativa L.) viruses, rice stripe virus (RSV, Tenuivirus) and southern rice black streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV, Fijivirus). In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that OsNF-YCs associate with OsNF-YAs and inhibit their transcriptional activation activity, resulting in the suppression of OsNF-YA-mediated plant susceptibility to rice viruses. Different viral proteins RSV P2 and SRBSDV SP8 directly disrupted the association of OsNF-YCs with OsNF-YAs, thereby suppressing the antiviral defense mediated by OsNF-YCs. These findings suggest an approach for conferring broad-spectrum disease resistance in rice and reveal a common mechanism employed by viral proteins to evade the host's antiviral defense by hindering the antiviral capabilities of OsNF-YCs.

Lysine acetylation is a dynamic post-translational modification of proteins. Extensive studies have revealed that the acetylation modulated by histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases (HDACs) plays a crucial role in regulating protein function. However, there has been limited focus on how HDACs regulate jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis in plants. Here, we uncover that the protein stability of OsLOX14, a critical enzyme involved in JA biosynthesis, is regulated by a histone deacetylase, OsHDA706, and is hindered by a viral protein. Our results show that OsHDA706 deacetylates OsLOX14 and enhances the stability of OsLOX14, leading to JA accumulation and an improved broad-spectrum rice antiviral defense. Furthermore, we found that the viral protein P2, encoded by the destructive rice stripe virus, disrupts the association of OsHDA706-OsLOX14, promoting viral infection. Overall, our findings reveal how HDAC manipulates the interplay of deacetylation and protein stability of a JA biosynthetic enzyme to enhance plant antiviral responses.

Peas (Pisum sativum L.) are widely cultivated in temperate regions and are susceptible hosts for various viruses across different families. The discovery and identification of new viruses in peas has significant implications for field disease management. Here, we identified a mixed infection of two viruses from field-collected peas exhibiting virus-like symptoms using metatranscriptome and small RNA sequencing techniques. Upon identification, one of the viruses was determined to be a newly isolated and discovered bymovirus from peas, named "pea bymovirus 1 (PBV1)". The other was identified as a novel variant of bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV-HZ1). Subsequently, mechanical inoculation and RT-PCR assays confirmed that both viruses could be inoculated back onto peas and tobaccos, showing mixed infection by PBV1 and BYMV-HZ1. To our knowledge, this is the first isolation of a bymovirus from pea and the first documented case of mixed infection of peas by PBV1 and BYMV-HZ1 in China.
