Abstract excerpt
Horizontal pollen transmission by the raspberry bushy dwarf virus 1b deletion mutant (RBΔ1bstop), which is defective in virus virulence, was significantly decreased compared to wild-type raspberry bushy dwarf virus (wtRBDV). We assessed accumulation of viral genomic (g) RNAs in pollen grains from RBΔ1bstop-infected plants and found that the pollen grains had less viral gRNA than those from wtRBDV-infected plants....
