Abstract excerpt
Gene VI of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) has been shown to be a determinant of host specificity of the virus as well as a factor influencing symptom development in infected plants. In addition, it plays a crucial role in viral gene expression through a process of posttranscriptional transactivation. In the present study, linker-insertion mutations within gene VI of a cloned, recombinant cauliflower mosaic virus...
