Secondary structure as a constraint on the evolution of a plant viral satellite RNA.

Journal of molecular biology - 20 Oct 1991

Fraile A, García-Arenal F

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)...
