Abstract excerpt
The genetic variability and evolution of the satellite RNA (satRNA) of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was analyzed. Twenty-five CMV-satRNAs compared clustered into three main groups, and no correlation was found between genetic proximity and other characteristics (pathogenicity, geographical origin) of the satRNAs. Values for the number of nucleotide substitutions per site between any two satRNAs suggest that...
