Abstract excerpt
The variability in the nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) sequences of the coat protein (CP) of Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV), which naturally infects orchids worldwide, was investigated. The CP genes of 55 CymMV isolates originating from different locations in Korea were amplified using RT-PCR and sequenced. The encoded CP consists of 223 aa. The CP sequences of the Korean isolates were compared with those of...
