Abstract excerpt
During natural infection, the Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) silencing suppressor protein P19 is expressed at high levels, which are required for optimum viral pathogenicity and silencing suppression. To date, expression of P19 in transgenic host plants has failed to achieve comparable expression levels and thus has provided only limited information on its in planta effects. To obtain high P19 expression and...
