Recombination of engineered defective RNA species produces infective potyvirus in planta
Journal of Virology 72 (6), 5268-5270
Abstract: Recombination occurred between viral genomes when squash plants were cobombarded with mixtures of engineered disabled constructs of a zucchini yellow mosaic potyvirus. Single and double recombinants were detected in the progeny. Genes involved in the recombination process and the mechanisms of recombination were studied in potyviruses for the first time.
