摘要: Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) transactivator/viroplasmin (Tav) is a multifunctional protein essential for basic replication of CaMV. It also plays role in viral pathogenesis crucifer and solanaceous host plants. Deletion mutagenesis revealed that N- C-terminal parts Tav are not CaMV transfected protoplasts. Two deletion mutants having only minimal defects were infectious turnips but with highly attenuated virulence. This was shown to be due delayed spread within the inoculated leaves upper leaves. Unlike wild-type virus, mutant viruses successfully locally without inducing defense response Datura stramonium leaves, did systemically. These results provide first evidence domain required avirulence function plants infectivity has virulence susceptible hosts.
