Abstract:Maize streak virus (MSV) genome has four open reading frames. C1 and C2 encoded by the complementary sense are required for virus replication, while V1 and V2 encoded by virion sense are required for infectivity. V1 encodes movement protein (MP), while V2 encodes coat protein (CP). Deletion or mutation of MSV CP does not prevent virus replication in single cells or protoplasts but leads to a loss of infectivity in the inoculated plant suggesting that MSV CP is required for virus movement.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
