Abstract

RNA transcribed from cloned satellite tobacco mosaic virus (STMV) cDNA replicated in protoplasts when co-inoculated with tobacco mild green mosaic virus (TMGMV) genomic RNA, but degraded when inoculated alone. STMV genomic RNA extracted from wild-type virions replicated in protoplasts when co-inoculated with TMGMV, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) or tomato mosaic virus (ToMV). Transcripts from clones of two STMV coat protein (CP) mutants accumulated to the same level as wild-type transcripts in protoplasts when co-inoculated with TMGMV, whereas a third mutant accumulated to detectable levels in some, but not all, experiments. These results confirm that STMV RNA requires helper virus for replication, and that the helper specificity exhibited by cloned STMV reflects a specific requirement for the TMGMV replicase. It also demonstrates that the low accumulation of STMV CP mutants observed previously in whole plants cannot be attributed to inefficient RNA replication.
