Combined effect of TYLCV infection and drought mitigates stress in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) through the modulation of antioxidant enzymes

Plant viruses cause considerable losses in agricultural crops globally, reducing the yield and quality of agricultural goods. We conducted the study of antioxidant enzymes (APO, BPO) in a local Azerbaijani genotype (Shalala) subjected to combined effects of drought and TYLCV stresses. Virus inoculation provided by Bemisia tabaci – whitefly insects that feed on them, in a controlled environment. According to our results, high enhancements in APO and BPO activity occurred only under drought and only in TYLC-infected tomato samples. As a result, we found that the Shalala genotype had higher levels of APO and BPO, although these levels were very low and barely different from the control ones.
