Abstract excerpt

A new strain of wound tumor virus (WTV) has been isolated from a periwinkle plant (Catharanthus roseus) that was among several used as bait plants in a blueberry field. The 12 segments of double-stranded RNA of the viral genome were isolated directly from infected tissue and found to have mobilities through agarose gels that were identical to those of the type strain WTV. Coupled complementary DNA (cDNA) and...
