Abstract
CMV satellite RNA has the capability to modify symptoms when plants are infected with CMV. Benign forms of satellite RNA attenuate symptoms; virulent forms induce new symptoms. The molecular basis of these effects is being investigated as a model for disease processes in plants and so that the attenuation property can be exploited in the genetic engineering of virus resistant plants. Mutation analysis has revealed two separate functional domains in the Y satellite RNA of CMV, which control induction of different types of symptom.
