Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to virus infection is decreased in a class I beta-1,3-glucanase (GLU I)-deficient mutant (TAG4.4) of tobacco generated by antisense transformation. TAG4.4 exhibited delayed intercellular trafficking via plasmodesmata of a tobamovirus (tobacco mosaic virus), of a potexvirus (recombinant potato virus X expressing GFP), and of the movement protein (MP) 3a of a cucumovirus (cucumber mosaic virus)....
