Comparison of the symptoms caused by turnip crinkle virus strain M
(TCV-M) and TCV-B infection of a resistant Arabidopsis thaliana line termed Di-17 demonstrates that TCV-B has a greater ability to spread in planta. This ability is due to a single amino acid
change in the viral movement protein p8 and inversely correlates with
p8 RNA binding affinity.
