[A problem of tymovirus taxonomy: comparison of coat proteins of two Belladonna Mottle viruses]
Abstract
The sequence of the 81 C-terminal amino acids of the coat protein of Belladonna Mottle Virus, European or type strain (BelMV-E), has been determined. The comparison with the primary structure of another Belladonna Mottle Virus from Iowa, U.S.A. (BelMV-I), shows that BelMV-I is not a strain of BelMV-E, but rather a different tymovirus.
