Abstract

Following mechanical inoculation of the moss Physcomitrella patens (Hedw.) B.S.G. with Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), the virus encoded N nucleocapsid protein was detected in gametophores harvested 11 and 29 dpi and the non-structural NSm movement protein was observed 29 dpi. The detection of both viral proteins presumes that P. patens could serve as a new lab–host for TSWV, allowing reverse genetics by gene targeting to elucidate the role of specified molecular virus–host interactions.
