Efficient Infection of Nicotiana benthamiana by Tomato bushy stunt virus Is Facilitated by the Coat Protein and Maintained by p19 Through Suppression of Gene Silencing

Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) is one of few RNA plant viruses capable of moving systemically in some hosts in the absence of coat protein (CP). TBSV also encodes another protein (p19) that is not required for systemic movement but functions as a symptom determinant in Nicotiana ben-thamiana. Here,...
