Inactivation and mutagenesis of tobacco rattle virus by nitrous acid.
نویسنده
چکیده
The rate of inactivation of tobacco rattle virus RNA by o.z M-nitrous acid at pH 4"o was comparable to that of tobacco mosaic virus RNA. In o'o025 M-nitrous acid at pH 6.0 this rate was greatly diminished, and was slower than that of intact virus. Possible reasons for this are discussed. Methods are described for the induction of mutants of tobacco rattle virus by nitrous acid, and for the selection of temperature-sensitive mutants that are not characterized by changes in the coat protein gene.

Tomato and Tobacco Phytoene Desaturase Gene Silencing by Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) Technique
Background and Aims: Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) is a virus vector technology that exploits antiviral defense mechanism. By infecting plants with recombinant viruses containing host genes inserted in the viral genome, VIGS achieves the RNA silencing process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and tobacco (Nicotiana be...
متن کاملFunctional characterization and subcellular localization of the 16K cysteine-rich suppressor of gene silencing protein of tobacco rattle virus.
The 16 kDa cysteine-rich protein (16K) of tobacco rattle virus (TRV) is known to partially suppress RNA silencing in Drosophila cells. In this study, we show that 16K suppresses RNA silencing in green fluorescent protein (GFP)-transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants using an Agrobacterium-mediated transient assay. 16K slightly reduced the accumulation of short interfering RNAs (siRNA) of GFP, s...
متن کاملNontransgenic genome modification in plant cells.
Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are a powerful tool for genome editing in eukaryotic cells. ZFNs have been used for targeted mutagenesis in model and crop species. In animal and human cells, transient ZFN expression is often achieved by direct gene transfer into the target cells. Stable transformation, however, is the preferred method for gene expression in plant species, and ZFN-expressing transg...
متن کاملVirus-induced alterations in primary metabolism modulate susceptibility to Tobacco rattle virus in Arabidopsis.
During compatible virus infections, plants respond by reprogramming gene expression and metabolite content. While gene expression studies are profuse, our knowledge of the metabolic changes that occur in the presence of the virus is limited. Here, we combine gene expression and metabolite profiling in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) infected with Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) in order to invest...
متن کاملSimilarities in the genome organization of tobacco rattle virus and pea early-browning virus isolates that are transmitted by the same vector nematode.
Although sequence data have been obtained for several tobravirus isolates, only two of these isolates are nematode-transmissible. Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) PpK20 is transmitted by Paratrichodorus pachydermus, whereas pea early-browning virus (PEBV) TpA56 is transmitted by Trichodorus primitivus. To clarify whether differences in the genome structure of these isolates are relevant to the specif...
