Abstract
Membrane-containing extracts isolated from tobacco plants infected with the plus-strand RNA virus, potato virus X (PVX), supported synthesis of four major, high-molecular-weight PVX RNA products (R1 to R4). Nuclease digestion and hybridization studies indicated that R1 and R2 are a mixture of partially single-stranded replicative intermediates and double-stranded replicative forms. R3 and R4 are double-stranded products containing sequences typical of the two major PVX subgenomic RNAs. The newly synthesized RNAs were demonstrated to have predominantly plus-strand polarity. Synthesis of these products was remarkably stable in the presence of ionic detergents.Entities:
