Structure of Plant Viral Genomes

  • Chapter
Nucleic Acids and Proteins in Plants II

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((922,volume 14 / B))

Abstract

Until two years ago, the subject matter of an article such as this, would have been restricted to plant viral RNA’s. Indeed nothing or very little was know about the Organization of plant viral DNA genomes. With the recent determination of the complete sequence of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) DNA, the Situation was altered, and since these data represent the first determination of the structure of genes related to higher plants, a number of important questions can be raised for the first time. This justifies the division of this section into two distinct parts. In the first, I shall discuss the recent data concerning the Organization and the expression of the genome of cauliflower mosaic virus. The second part will be devoted to the Organization of the genome of plant RNA viruses and to their various modes of expression. In this latter case, several excellent recent reviews (Zaitlin 1979, Lane 1979, Davies 1979) have already been published and I shall emphasize new data related to the general concept of the in vitro and in vivo expression of eukaryotic genes.
