Abstract excerpt
To determine the structural requirements for cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) satellites to elicit lethal tomato necrosis, three satellite variants D, S and Y were used in the construction and cloning of chimeric cDNAs. D and S are necrogenic and non-necrogenic 'prototype' variants, respectively, and Y possesses the 3' conserved necrosis-determining region but does not cause lethal tomato necrosis. Its 5' half...
