Abstract excerpt
Mutants of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) strain D4 have been characterized with regard to host-specific phenotypes that resulted from specific changes in the viral DNA sequence. Both the mutant and the wild-type viruses infect a brassicaceous host, Brassica campestris, systemically, giving indistinguishable symptoms. However, in the solanaceous host Datura stramonium, which was systemically infectible by the...
