A new strategy to improve a cauliflower mosaic virus vector.

Abstract excerpt

Co-infection of plants with non-overlapping deletion mutants of cauliflower mosaic virus usually leads to the production of the wild-type virus. To prevent this, a pair of mutants with overlapping deletions was constructed. In infected plants both mutant DNAs were stably maintained. Such mutants with overlapping deletions will be used as a vector to overcome the size limitation of genes to be cloned.
