Abstract excerpt
Analysis of RNA2 of TRV PaY4 showed it to be recombinant, carrying 3'-terminal sequences derived from RNA1. Virus produced using an infectious cDNA clone of PaY4 RNA2 was nematode transmissible, demonstrating that natural TRV recombinant isolates are not necessarily defective. Mutations introduced into PaY4 RNA2 showed that the 2b gene, but not the 2c gene, is required for transmission by both Paratrichodorus...
