Diverse Amino Acid Changes at Specific Positions in the N-Terminal Region of the Coat Protein Allow Plum pox virus to Adapt to New Hosts

Plum pox virus (PPV)-D and PPV-R are two isolates from strain D of PPV that differ in host specificity. Previous analyses of chimeras originating from PPV-R and PPV-D suggested that the N terminus of the coat protein (CP) includes host-specific pathogenicity determinants. Here, these determinants we...
