Abstract excerpt
Arabidopsis plants have a system to specifically restrict the long-distance movement of tobacco etch potyvirus (TEV) without involving either hypersensitive cell death or systemic acquired resistance. At least two dominant genes, RTM1 and RTM2, are necessary for this restriction. Through a series of coinfection experiments with heterologous viruses, the RTM1/RTM2-mediated restriction was shown to be highly...
