Abstract excerpt
The effects of host changes on plant virus genome evolution was studied by nucleotide sequencing. A single tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) plant was inoculated with in vitro transcripts from a plasmid clone of tobacco mosaic tobamovirus (TMV). This initial viral population was then transferred 11-12 times in parallel populations in 7 plant host species (1-4 replicates each) over a period of 413-515 days....
