Abstract excerpt
Rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV) is a plant pararetrovirus. The large intergenic region (LIGR) of RTBV having a single transcriptional promoter produces more than genome length pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) which directs synthesis of circular double-stranded viral DNA and serves as a polycistronic mRNA. By computer-aided analysis of LIGR, the 11 RTBV isolates sequenced so far were compared with respect to structural...
