Studies on the Japanese soil-borne wheat mosaic virus movement protein highlight its ability to bind plant RNA - Virology Journal Background Plant viral movement protein (MP) function is decisive for virus cell-to-cell movement. Often, MPs also induce membrane alterations, which are believed to play a role for the establishment ...
