Abstract excerpt
Bipartite geminiviruses, such as squash leaf curl virus (SqLCV), encode two movement proteins (MPs), BR1 and BL1, that are essential for viral movement in and subsequent infection of the host plant. To elucidate the biochemical functions of these MPs and define their respective contributions to viral infection, we have generated transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants expressing SqLCV BR1 and BL1. Transgenic...
