Abstract excerpt
Infection of Tabasco pepper by the tobacco etch virus (TEV) typically causes wilting associated with root necrosis. However, a strain of TEV, designated TEV nonwilting (TEV NW), is able to infect Tabasco pepper plants but does not cause wilting. In order to locate the genetic determinants responsible for the wilting response, a full-length cDNA clone of TEV NW from which infectious transcripts can be derived was...
