qPCR data on defence-related genes, SnRK1 and WRKY3, quantified in four tomato cultivars infected with Tomato curly stunt virus

This dataset contains qPCR data quantifying the expression of the defense-related genes SnRK1 and WRKY3 in four tomato cultivars (RooiKhaki, Moneymaker, NIL396 and ESTY) with varying resistance levels upon infection with Tomato curly stunt virus (ToCSV). The data includes cycle threshold (Ct) values for houskeeping gene Actin and the gene expression levels of SnRK1 and WRKY3 measured in these 4 tomato cultivars at 8, 15 and 30 days post infection with ToCSV. This data provides insights into the transcriptional response of these key signalling genes during viral infection. The cultivars were selected based on their differing susceptibility to ToCSV, allowing for comparative analysis of defense mechanisms. Raw qPCR files and standad curves and experimental metadata are included for reproducibility and further analysis.
