Abstract excerpt
We had previously reported that a plum pox virus (PPV)-based chimera that had its P1-HCPro bi-cistron replaced by a modified one from potato virus Y (PVY) increased its virulence in some Nicotiana benthamiana plants, after mechanical passages. This correlated with the natural acquisition of amino acid substitutions in several proteins, including in HCPro at either position 352 (Ile→Thr) or 454 (Leu→Arg), or of...
