Abstract excerpt
Because the structure of the tobacco mosaic virus capsid protein is known, mutations that alter the phenotype of the virus-plant interaction can be correlated with structural changes in this protein. These mutations affect the disease symptoms caused by the virus and recognition of the virus by a plant resistance gene product. Recognition-host interaction is analogous to the gene-for-gene interactions of bacteria...
