TITLE：Mechanism of Viral Transmission via Geminivirus Induced Plant Autophagy

ABSTRACT：

  Autophagy is an important defense mechanism of both plants and animals against viruses. However, current research findings mainly focus on how viruses escape from autophagy or suppress autophagy, while the reason why viruses induce autophagy in plants still unknown. This report will focus on the geminivirus-plant-whitefly interaction and elucidate the function and mechanism of genimivirus induced plant autophagy, providing a novel strategy for plant viral disease prevention.
