Plant RNA viruses: strategies of expression and regulation of Viral Genes

Abstract

The genome of most plant viruses is composed of RNA of ' + ' polarity and can serve directly as messenger for protein synthesis. This paper deals with those viral RNAs whose in vitro and in vivo translation products can be compared; it reviews the strategies used for the modulation of the synthesis of the various virus-coded proteins and examines the postulated functions of these proteins.
