Abstract excerpt
Transgenic tobacco plants expressing the coat protein (CP) gene of the U1 strain of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) exhibit CP-mediated resistance (CP-MR) against some, but not all, tobamoviruses. To investigate the role of the amino acid sequences on the surface of the challenge virus in CP-MR, mutant strains of U1 TMV were constructed to contain the amino or carboxy termini of the CP of Sunn hemp mosaic tobamovirus...
