Abstract excerpt
An aphid-transmissible (AT) and two non-aphid-transmissible (NAT) isolates of zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) were studied. The predicted amino acid sequences of the coat protein (CP) of the three virus isolates were analysed and compared. The NAT isolates differed from the AT isolate in having a Thr instead of an Ala residue at position 10 in the conserved Asp-Ala-Gly triplet in the N-terminal region of CP....
