A single amino acid at position 31 in the N-terminus of the coat protein of cucumber mosaic virus determines its avirulence function for RCY1-conferred virus resistance
The coat protein (CP) of the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) yellow strain [CMV(Y)], but not the CMV B2 strain [CMV(B2)], serves as an avirulence...
