Abstract excerpt
In tobacco and Nicotiana benthamiana, limited cross-protection against cucumber mosaic virus strain Fny (Fny-CMV) was provided by prior inoculation with a deletion mutant lacking the 2b silencing-suppressor protein gene (Fny-CMVDelta2b). Cross-protection by Fny-CMVDelta2b did not result from induction of systemic RNA silencing. We investigated whether protection occurs through induction of localized RNA silencing...
