Abstract
Highly infective nucleic acid preparations were made from Nicotiana clevelandii leaves infected with carrot mottle virus (CMotV). The infective material had the properties of a single-stranded RNA but was less than 1% of the total RNA in the preparations. It had an apparent MW of about 1.5-1.6 .times. 106 in agarose-polyacrylamide gels and a sedimentation coefficient of about 28-30S in linear-log sucrose gradients. The infective RNA did not contain any considerable polyadenylate sequence, nor did it require an associated protein for infectivity.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
