Abstract excerpt

The fusion sites between the termini of naturally occurring defective RNAs (D-RNAs) from three citrus tristeza virus (CTV) isolates were sequenced. Seven of eight clones showed a common 3' terminus of 940 nucleotides (nt) fused to 5' termini with different sizes. An extra cytosine nucleotide was...
