How genomics fuel breeding: unraveling the structure of infectious eBSV lead to the end of the BSV constraint for breeding banana interspecific hybrids [PDF]
, 2014 Infections of banana and plantain by banana streak viruses (BSV) can occur in the absence of vector-mediated transmission, through the activation of infectious endogenous BSV sequences (eBSVs).
