Abstract excerpt

The genetic structure of populations of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) satellite RNA (satRNA) and its evolution were analyzed during the course of a CMV epidemic in tomatoes in eastern Spain. A total of 62 variants of CMV-satRNA from epidemic episodes in 1989, 1990, and 1991 were characterized by RN...
