The tomato resistance gene <i>Tm-2</i><sup>2</sup> encodes a coiled coil-nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat type resistance protein and confers effective immune response against tobamoviruses by detecting the presence of viral movement proteins (MPs). In this study, we show that the <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i> Heat shock protein 90-kD (Hsp90) interacts with Tm-2<sup>2</sup>. Silencing of <i>Hsp90</i> reduced <i>Tm-2</i><sup>2</sup>-mediated resistance to <i>Tobacco mosaic virus</i> (TM ...[more]
