“…We were able to amplify a full-length (c. 4.7 kb) clone of this virus by RT-PCR using 5'-and 3'-terminal primers derived from TBSV (5' terminus, ? strand, GAAATTCTCCAGGA TTTCTCGACC; 3' terminus, -strand, GGGCTGCATTTC TGCAATG); however, during the sequencing of this clone, we found that the CP sequence was identical to that described for PLCV [1] rather than for TBSV. To obtain the authentic terminal sequences of the PLCV genome, we isolated total RNA from virus-infected N. benthamiana leaves using a QIAGEN RNeasy Plant Mini Kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.…”
