Abstract excerpt
Gene VI of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) is an important determinant of symptom expression during infection. We have constructed a series of transgenic Arabidopsis lines that express gene VI protein (P6) from two CaMV isolates (Bari-1 and Cabb B-JI) that cause mild and severe symptoms, respectively, in Arabidopsis, and from a recombinant virus (Baji-31) with a hybrid gene VI that causes very severe symptoms....
