Abstract excerpt
The 185 nucleotide 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of potato virus Y ordinary strain (PVY-O) showed translation-enhancing activity on the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene in tobacco protoplasts. Mutational analysis of the 5'UTR was done to find sequence motifs necessary for the enhancement. Deletions...
