Epitope presentation system based on cucumber mosaic virus coat protein expressed from a potato virus X-based vector
The Cucumber mosaic virus Ixora isolate (CMV) coat protein gene (CP) was placed under the transcriptional control of the duplicated subgenomic CP promoter of a Potato virus X (PVX)-based vector. In vitro RNA tran...

The complete nucleotide sequence, genome organization, and specific detection of Beet mosaic virus
Beet mosaic virus (BtMV) was identified almost five decades ago but has not been fully characterized at the molecular level. In this study, we have determined for the first time the compl...

Predicted ATP-binding cassette systems in the phytopathogenic mollicute Spiroplasma kunkelii
Spiroplasma kunkelii is a cell wall-free, helical, and motile mycoplasma-like organism that causes corn stunt disease in maize. The bacterium has a compact genome with a gene set approac...

The complete nucleotide sequence of isolate BYMV-GDD of Bean yellow mosaic virus, and comparison to other potyviruses
The complete nucleotide sequence of Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) gladiolus isolate GDD was determined and compared to broad bean isolates BYMV-MB4 and BYMV-S. The BYMV-GDD genome (9528 nt) was more similar to...

Gene content and organization of an 85-kb DNA segment from the genome of the phytopathogenic mollicute Spiroplasma kunkelii
Spiroplasma kunkelii, the causative agent of corn stunt disease in maize ( Zea mays L.), is a helical, cell wall-less prokaryote assigned to the class Mollicutes. As part of a project to sequence the entire S. ...

Phylogeny of isolates of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus from the Ilarvirus Ringtest and identification of group-specific features
Isolates of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) were examined to establish the level of naturally occurring sequence variation in the coat protein (CP) gene and to identify group-specific genome features that...

A Brownian-ratchet DNA pump with applications to single-nucleotide polymorphism genoty**
We have fabricated a micron-scale device capable of transporting DNA oligomers using Brownian ratchets. The ratchet potential is generated by applying a voltage difference to interdigitated electrodes. Cycling...

Development and evaluation of a complementation-dependent gene delivery system based on cucumber mosaic virus
To engineer cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-Ix) into a gene vector, genome component RNA 3 of the virus was modified and split into two sub-components, RNA 3A and RNA 3B. In RNA 3A, the open reading frame of the move...

Both Point Mutation and RNA Recombination Contribute to the Sequence Diversity of Citrus Viroid III
Field-grown citrus trees often harbor complex mixtures of 4–5 different viroid species, and the presence of citrus viroid III (CVd-III) has been shown to reduce the rate of tree growth without inducing disease...
