Naturally occurring mutations in replication proteins of a small RNA virus that alter the number, sizes, and relative abundances of subgenomic RNAs

This study identifies mutations in viral replication proteins that alter subgenomic RNA production in turnip crinkle virus.

Rescue of tomato yellow leaf curl virus mutants with heterologous iterons through in planta evolution

This study shows that tomato yellow leaf curl virus mutants with heterologous iterons can be rescued by de novo mutations that enable viral escape from repression, suggesting iterons interact with host transcription factors and Rep in a competitive manner.
