Molecular Biology of Luteoviruses

摘要: Publisher Summary Molecular analysis has shown that the genomes of luteoviruses combine most strategies used to express monopartite (+) sense ssRNA viruses. Moreover, luteovirus have clearly evolved by recombination among blocks coding sequence derived from distinct ancestral Thus, despite difficulties studying these viruses, many interesting molecular biology features been demonstrated and would repay more intensive study. The biological are also unusual in that, except peculiar circumstances, confined phloem their hosts during transmission particles interact with surfaces insect vectors cross several cell boundaries. Both can be explained a general way, but bases for properties as yet poorly understood thus excellent candidates penetrating It seems clear much progress anticipated on fronts near future cases knowledge gained should convey lessons applicable wider field RNA virus biology.
