Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect PD(-) transcripts produced significantly smaller local lesions than wild type in Nicotiana clevelandii.
- Intervention effect Systemic symptoms after PD(-) transcript inoculation developed 8 to 12 days later than after wild type inoculation.
- Observation Sap from PD(-) transcript infected plants yielded wild-type sized lesions and reduced or lost delay of systemic symptoms in N. clevelandii.
- Observation PD(-) transcript and sap inoculation produced either wild-type systemic necrosis or oak-leaf necrosis in N. clevelandii.
- Observation Full-length PD(-) RNA was only rarely detected in transcript-inoculated leaves.
- Observation A stable further deleted RNA species of approximately 3800 nucleotides occurred in systemically infected leaves.
- Observation CNV coat protein was undetectable in PD(-) infected leaves.
- Observation Sequenced 3.8 kb RNA retained only 74 of 1140 nucleotides of the coat protein open reading frame.
- Observation Coat-proteinless CNV transcripts produced wild-type and oak-leaf necrosis in N. clevelandii, resembling PD(-) sap inoculation.
- Intervention effect Coat-proteinless CNV tended to delay systemic symptoms compared with wild type.
- Mechanism CNV replicated and moved systemically in inoculated N. clevelandii without functional coat protein.
- Intervention effect Mechanical transmission of CNV without coat protein was less efficient than wild type.
- Observation Both reciprocal CNV and TBSV coat protein chimeras infected N. clevelandii.
- Observation The CNV chimera carrying TBSV coat protein was not transmitted by fungal zoospores to cucumber seedling roots.
- Mechanism The CNV coat protein gene specifically determines fungal transmissibility.
