Abstract excerpt
The spread of cymbidium ringspot tombusvirus (CyRSV) in host tissue was studied by using a coat protein gene mutant with a six-nucleotide deletion; the deletion removes two amino acids from the shell domain (S) of the capsid protein. Mutated protein subunits were synthesized in infected cells but could not assemble into virus particles. Virions were formed, however, with inoculation of mutated RNA in transgenic...
