Abstract excerpt
Two beet curly top virus (BCTV) mutants have been constructed in vitro that contain G-to-T transversions either at nucleotide 2682 or at nucleotide 2802 within the overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) C1 and C4. The mutations introduce termination codons in ORF C4 without affecting the amino acids encoded by ORF C1. When agroinoculated into Nicotiana benthamiana the mutants caused stunting and yellowing of the...
