Abstract excerpt

A nonaphid transmissible (NAT) variant of tobacco vein mottling virus (TVMV) was used to test the hypothesis that the viral coat protein (CP) plays a role in determining aphid transmissibility. Comparison of the nucleotide sequences in the coat protein cistron of an aphid transmissible isolate (T...
