Abstract
Comparison of the symptoms caused by turnip crinkle virus strain M (TC V-M) and TCV-B infection of a resistant Arabidopsis thaliana line term ed Di-17 demonstrates that TCV-B has a greater ability to spread in pl anta. This ability is due to a single amino acid change in the viral m ovement protein p8 and inversely correlates with p8 RNA binding affini ty.
