Expression of Bottom Component RNA of Cowpea Mosaic Virus in Cowpea Protoplasts [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1980 Upon inoculation of cowpea protoplasts with the bottom component of cowpea mosaic virus, at least six virus-induced proteins (with sizes of 170, 110, 87, 84, 60, and 32 kilodaltons) are synthesized, but not the capsid proteins (37 and 23 kilodaltons). These bottom-component-induced proteins were studied with respect to their genetic origin
