  • Published:
Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A procedure is described that permits the selection of functionally deficient, temperature sensitive mutants of tobacco mosaic virus based upon the time of local lesion formation on the appropriate host plant.
