Abstract excerpt
We have found that Arabidopsis thaliana is susceptible to infection with a crucifer strain of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV-Cg); the coat protein of TMV-Cg accumulated to a high level in uninoculated rosette leaves several days after inoculation. As a first step in the search for host-coded factors that are involved in virus multiplication, we isolated mutants of A. thaliana in which the accumulation of TMV-Cg coat...
