Expression of a luteoviral movement protein in transgenic plants leads to carbohydrate accumulation and reduced photosynthetic capacity in source leaves

Summary Elucidating the role of viral genes in transgenic plants revealed that the movement protein (MP) from tobacco mosaic virus is responsible for altered carbohydrate allocation in tobacco and potato plants. To study whether this is a general feature of viral MPs, the movement protein MP17 of po...
