Abstract excerpt

Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) possesses start codons at the beginning of its reverse transcriptase (RT) gene (ORF V) suggesting that, unlike in retroviruses and retrotransposons, it is translated independently from the capsid gene (ORF IV). To test this hypothesis a mutational analysis of the C...
