Abstract excerpt
Mutants of the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) movement protein (MP) were generated and analyzed for their effects on virus movement and pathogenicity in vivo. Similar to the wild-type MP, mutants M1, M2, and M3, promoted virus movement in eight plant species. Mutant M3 showed some differences in pathogenicity in one host species. Mutant M8 showed some host-specific alterations in movement in two hypersensitive hosts...
