Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) RNA is transcribed in vitro by reverse transcriptase into complementary DNA in the presence of synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides as primers. In the case of priming with the pentadecadeoxyribonucleotide d(T-T-C-T-T-T-T-T-T-C-T-T-T-T-C) complementary to PSTV RNA from nucleotides 49 to 63, specificity of transcription initiation allows rapid sequencing of part of the viroid genome using chain-terminating dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. The DNA transcripts obtained represent distinct molecular species with the largest product being a full-length copy of the viroid RNA template. Molecular hybridization with 32P-labeled complementary DNA detects sequence homologies among different viroid species.

Rhizoma peanut (Arachis glabrata Benth.) is a forage crop with increasing acreage (>10,500 ha) in the coastal plain region of the United States. Peanut mottle virus (PeMoV), a member of the family Potyviridae, is transmitted nonpersistently by aphids and seed-transmitted in A.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) lines exhibiting high levels of resistance to peanut stripe virus (PStV) were obtained following microprojectile bombardment of embryogenic callus derived from mature seeds. Fertile plants of the commercial cultivars Gajah and NC7 were regenerated following co-bombardment with the hygromycin resistance gene and one of two forms of the PStV coat protein (CP) gene, an untranslatable, full length sequence (CP2) or a translatable gene encoding a CP with an N-terminal truncation (CP4).

Potyvirus isolates from asparagus bean ( Vigna sesquipedalis) plants in Zhejiang province, China, caused either rugose and vein banding mosaic symptoms (isolate R) or severe yellowing (isolate Y) in this host, but were otherwise similar in host range. Both isolates were completely sequenced and shown to be isolates of Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV). The complete sequences were 9992 (R) or 10062 (Y) nucleotides long and shared 91.

The production of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and its subunits in response to Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infection in the BALB/c mouse was examined. Unlike wild-type Typhimurium, a plasmidless strain, isolated by curing of the virulence plasmid (pSTV), did not stimulate excess IL-12p40 production. When a Tn 5 tagged pSTV was transferred back to the plasmidless strain, the ability to stimulate IL-12p40 production was restored.
