Abstract
Cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV) is an isometric plant virus with functionally divided genomic RNAs and a broad host range. RNA 1 and RNA 2 each encode one protein, both of which are essential for replication. RNA 3 encodes the viral coat protein and an additional protein thought to be involved in potentiating the cell-to-cell movement of the virus. Functions of the RNAs have been confirmed using a pseudorecombinant virus constructed with infectious cDNA-derived transcripts of the RNAs. Generally, CMV produces different symptoms in various host plants depending on the virus strains. In this mini-review, we describe the potential role of the genes associated with symptom expression of CMV RNAs.
