Abstract
A tobacco mosaic tobamovirus (TMV) mutant, which is defective in cell- to-cell transport, moved long-distance through parts of grafted plants that do not express TMV movement protein, MP(-), Long-distance moveme nt of the TMV mutant in vascular tissue from MP(-) tobacco was as effi cient as wild-type TMV, The data indicate that once in the phloem, pre sumably the sieve elements, long-distance movement of TMV does not req uire concomitant synthesis of MP.
