Tobamoviral Movement Protein Transiently Expressed in a Single Epidermal Cell Functions Beyond Multiple Plasmodesmata and Spreads Multicellularly in an Infection-Coupled Manner

Cell-to-cell movement of a plant virus requires expression of the movement protein (MP). It has not been fully elucidated, however, how the MP functions in primary infected cells. With the use of a microprojectile bombardment-mediated DNA infection system for Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), we found tha...
