Abstract excerpt
Zucchini tigre mosaic virus (ZTMV; Potyvirus pepotigris), which infects wax gourd (Benincasa hispida), was first identified in Taiwan in 2017 and designated ZTMV-TW. In this study, mild strains of ZTMV-TW were generated by modifying the pathogenicity factor HC-Pro to develop cross-protection strategies for cucurbit crops. A full-length infectious cDNA clone of ZTMV-TW was cloned in pCAMBIA1304 under the control...
