Author(s): Kondareva, T., Riabov, E., Zavriev, S.

Abstract: The main difference between genome structures of shallot virus X (ShVX) and related potex- and carlaviruses is the unique gene of ShVX coding for a 42K protein. The amino acid sequence of this protein was analyzed and compared with those of similar proteins from several newly characterised viruses of garlic. Using antibodies against the recombinant 42K protein, expression of the 42K protein of ShVX was detected in most of plants where the ShVX coat protein is present.
