Abstract excerpt
More than one-third of the turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) genome simultaneously encodes two ORFs. We have investigated the functions of the overlapping coat protein ORF and readthrough domain of ORF-206 in the 3' region of the genome. TYMC-206 RNA, in which a second stop codon has been positioned to prevent ORF-206 readthrough, induced infections in protoplasts and plants that were indistinguishable from wild...
