Changes in the amino acid sequence of the coat protein readthrough domain of potato leafroll luteovirus affect the formation of an epitope and aphid transmission.

Virology - 15 May 1994

Jolly C A, Mayo M A

Abstract excerpt

Potato leafroll luteovirus (PLRV) is transmitted naturally by aphids, but two isolates (15 and V) are known to be only poorly transmissible (PAT); these isolates are also distinct in that their particles lack an epitope present in transmissible (HAT) isolates of PLRV (Tamada et al., Ann. Appl. Bi...
