General Objective: To determine, through bioinformatic analysis, the temporary alterations of the proteome and differential methylome between papaya plants infected and not infected by the BbMV potexvirus and relate them to the changes of other molecular groups through a systems biology approach.
Specific objectives
- To determine the differential proteome and methylome in papaya over time post-infection by BbVM.
- Establish the mechanism of virion formation in the infectious process by BbMV.
- Establish the pathogen-host interaction through the interpretation of omic data, through a systems biology approach, including morphological and physiological data.
