Abstract excerpt
Genes and intergenic regions were reciprocally exchanged between a highly pathogenic Maize streak virus (MSV) isolate (MSV-MatA) and three less pathogenic isolates (MSV-Kom, MSV-R2, and MSV-VW) to determine the contribution of individual genome constituents to MSV pathogenicity in maize. Comparison of disease symptoms produced by the 54 resulting chimaeras and parental viruses enabled identification of genome...
