Abstract excerpt
During a series of mechanical transfers of tomato spotted wilt virus, two distinct types of mutants were generated. Firstly, a morphologically defective isolate was obtained which had lost the ability to produce the membrane glycoproteins and, as a consequence, was not able to form enveloped part...
