Abstract excerpt
In tomato plants, Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) cannot replicate because the tm-1 protein inhibits RNA replication. The resistance of tomato plants to PMMoV remains durable both in the field and under laboratory conditions. In this study, we constructed several mutant PMMoVs and analysed their abilities to replicate in tomato protoplasts and plants. We found that two mutants, PMMoV-899R,F976Y and...
