Gain-of-function mutant of movement protein allows systemic transport of a defective tobacco mosaic virus

Summary: Functional compensation in response to gene dysfunction is a fascinating phenomenon that allows mutated viruses to regain the capabilities of their wild-type parental strains. In this study, we isolated mutants of tobacco mosaic virus capable of CP-independent systemic movement. These gain-...
