complete nucleotide sequence of a potyvirus causing maize dwarf mosaic disease in central china. | the full-length nucleotide sequence of a potyvirus causing the maize dwarf mosaic (mdm) disease in henan province, central china, was obtained by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) and rapid amplification of the cdna 5'-end (5'-race). the viral genome comprised of 9596 nucleotides except the polya tail and encoded a putative polyprotein of 3603 amino acids. the entire genomic sequence of this isolate shared identities of 94.2% and 98.3% with sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) hz ... | 2003 | 15068377 |
