Abstract excerpt
Turnip yellow mosaic virus is a positive-strand RNA virus that produces light green or yellow-green mosaic symptoms in Chinese cabbage plants. We have characterized a strain that produces nearly uniform yellow-green chlorosis in systemically infected Chinese cabbage leaves. The increased symptom severity is due to the single nucleotide substitution U1888-->C, which results in a tyrosine to histidine substitution...
