| Abstract: | The nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of potato leafroll virus was determined and its genetic organization deduced. The RNA is 5882 nucleotides long and contains 6 open reading frames (ORFs) encoding proteins of 70, 70, 56, 28, 23 and 17 kDa. The putative genes for the coat protein (23 kDa) and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (70 kDa) were identified by interviral amino acid sequence homologies. For expression of the different ORFs, translational frameshift and readthrough events are proposed. |
