Abstract excerpt
Despite the importance of vectors in natural dissemination of plant viruses, relatively little is known about the molecular features of viruses and vectors that permit their interaction in nature. Cucumber necrosis virus (CNV) is a small spherical virus whose transmission in nature is facilitated by zoospores of the fungus Olpidium bornovanus. Previous studies have shown that specific regions of the CNV capsid...
