“…TSWV belongs to the genus Orthotospovirus in the family Tospoviridae . The genome of TSWV contains three RNA segments named small (S), medium (M), and large (L). ,, TSWV coat protein (CP), named the N protein, is a multifunctional protein encoded by S. , TSWV CP interacts with genomic RNA, TSWV Gn, Gc glycoproteins, and NSm and has multiple functions, including viral mRNA transcription, viral RNA replication, the formation of virions, and viral RNA movement. − In the research of pesticide discovery, the CP of plant viruses has always been considered as a potential target of antiviral drugs. , The combination of antiviral drugs and viral CP can inhibit virus replication and assembly, thereby inhibiting virus infection . There have been a large number of reports on the study of plant CPs as potential targets, and there are also some related reports in our previous work. ,, In addition, transgenic plants expressing the TSWV CP gene exhibited post-transcriptional gene silencing and resistance to TSWV .…”
