The RNA of maize chlorotic mottle virus - the essential virus in maize lethal necrosis disease - is translated via a panicum mosaic virus-like cap-independent translation element
2020-01-09
Abstract excerpt
Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) combines with a potyvirus in maize lethal necrosis disease (MLND), an emerging disease worldwide that often causes catastrophic yield loss. To inform resistance strategies, we characterized the translation initiation mechanism of MCMV. We report that, like other tombusvirids, MCMV RNA contains a cap-independent translation element (CITE) in its 3’ untranslated region (UTR). The...
