Infection with an asymptomatic virus in rice results in a delayed drought response
In the present study we examined the effects of Rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV) infection on drought response in rice. Collectively, these results indicated that infection with RTSV can transiently mitigate the influence of drought stress on rice plants by increasing leaf hydration, while drought increased the susceptibility of rice plants to RTSV.
