Macroautophagy/autophagy has been recognized as a central antiviral defense mechanism in plant, which involves complex interactions between viral proteins and host factors. Rhabdoviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses, and the infection causes serious harm to public health, livestock, and crop production. However, little is known about the role of autophagy in the defense against rhabdovirus infection by plant. In this work, we showed that Rice stripe mosaic cytorhabdovirus (RSMV) activated autophagy in plants and that autophagy served as an indispensable defense mechanism during RSMV infection...
