Abstract excerpt
Monocot-adapted brome mosaic virus (BMV) and dicot-adapted cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) are closely related bromoviruses with tripartite RNA genomes. Although RNAs 1 and 2 together are sufficient for RNA replication in protoplasts, systemic infection also requires RNA3, which encodes the coat protein and the nonstructural 3a movement protein. We have previously shown with bromoviral reassortants that host...
