Abstract excerpt
Spreading of tobacco mosaic virus in infected plants is of two modes: cell-to-cell movement (to adjacent cells) and long-distance movement (to distant parts of the plant). Viral coat protein has been suggested to be involved in long-distance movement. To analyze the function of coat protein in the movement, we used mutants with modifications in the coat protein gene or in the assembly origin on the genomic RNA. A...
