Potato mop-top virus RNA Can Move Long Distance in the Absence of Coat Protein: Evidence from Resistant, Transgenic Plants

Transgenic expression of a translatable version of the Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) coat protein (CP) gene (encoded by RNA 3) in Nicotiana benthamiana prevented production of symptoms and infective virus particles. RNAs 1 and 2 accumulated in inoculated and systemic leaves but, apart from small amoun...
