Wild-type coat protein gene of tobacco mosaic virus mutant Ni 2519
The Journal of General Virology
|May 1, 1993
Abstract:
Tobacco mosaic virus mutant Ni 2519 has a selected temperature-sensitive defect in the spreading of local lesions, and additional reported defects in virus assembly and in host range. Here we show that the temperature-sensitive local lesion-spreading defect (which maps in the assembly origin within the gene encoding protein p30) is probably independent of mutations in the pseudoassembly origin or of host range defects resulting from other mutations in the coat protein. One new host range mutant has been isolated.

01:16In-vitro Mutagenesis
To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.
02:50Transgenic Plants
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

01:29Subviral Agents
Subviral agents are infectious entities that resemble viruses but lack one or more viral components, such as a capsid or essential replication machinery. These agents include viroids, prions, and satellites, each possessing distinct structural and functional characteristics that influence their mode of infection and replication.Viroids are the simplest subviral agents, consisting of circular, single-stranded RNA molecules without a protein coat. They exclusively infect plants, relying entirely...
