Both eEF1A and eEF1B play essential roles in the multiplication of Potato virus X (PVX) in pepper (Hwang et al., 2015); A2 of the four eEF1A was increased expression from infection with Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and Phytophthora infections in Arabidopsis thaliana (Ransom-Hodgkins, 2009); In soybean, the results of a previous study showed that SMV-P3 targets host elongation factors resulting in UPR, which in turn facilitates SMV replication (Luan et al., 2016). The gene discussed is EEF1A1; the disease is infection.
