Abstract excerpt
Commelina yellow mottle virus (CoYMV) is the type member of the badnaviruses, a genus of plant pararetroviruses. The N-terminus of the polyprotein encoded by ORF III has limited similarity to known cell-to-cell movement proteins. To test the hypothesis that the N-terminus is required for viral movement, the phenotypes caused by mutations constructed in this region were determined. Similar to mutants affected in...
