Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation V2-1 and V2-2 were expressed in infected Nicotiana benthamiana and tomato.
- Intervention effect Loss of V2-1 severely reduced viral pathogenicity and genome accumulation.
- Intervention effect V2-2 deletion attenuated symptoms while infection remained.
- Intervention effect V2-1 deletion yielded lower viral DNA and coat protein levels in N. benthamiana than tomato.
- Observation Mutant viruses declined progressively in tomato.
- Intervention effect Coexpression of both isoforms induced systemic necrosis in N. benthamiana.
