Abstract excerpt
Little is known about how some plant viruses establish successful cross-species transmission whilst others do not; the genetic basis for adaptation is largely unknown. This study investigated the genetic changes that occurred using the progeny of an infectious clone, p35Tunos, derived from the turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) UK 1 isolate, which has a Brassica host type, but rarely infects Raphanus systemically and...
