Natural self-attenuation of pathogenic viruses by deleting the silencing suppressor coding sequence for long-term plant-virus coexistence
Qin Li, Xiaoqing Wang, Zhaoji Dai…·Hongguang Cui
The paper shows that potyvirids can naturally lose their silencing suppressor coding sequences, reducing pathogenicity and enabling long-term plant-virus coexistence through genomic deletion.
