Abstract excerpt
Recent studies proposed that the negative strands of some single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses contain reverse open reading frames (rORFs) that encode functional peptides. Highly conserved rORFs were found in the negative strand of viruses within the Potyviridae family, including turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), where rORF2 was shown to be essential for infection and survival. In this study, we analysed the...
