Abstract
TMV RNA is not an efficient template for translation of the viral coat protein, in spite of containing nucleo-tide sequences coding for the protein. Efficient translation requires the prior synthesis within infected cells of a smaller RNA carrying only a portion of the information encoded in the whole genome.
