Recombination occurred between viral genomes when squash plants
were cobombarded with mixtures of engineered disabled constructs of a
zucchini yellow mosaic potyvirus. Single and double recombinants were
detected in the progeny. Genes involved in the recombination process
and the mechanisms of recombination were studied in potyviruses for the
first time.
