Interfamilial recombination between viruses led to acquisition of a novel translation-enhancing RNA element that allows resistance breaking

Many plant viruses depend on functional RNA elements, called 3′-UTR cap-independent translation enhancers (3′-CITEs), for translation of their RNAs. In this manuscript we provide direct proof for the existing hypothesis that 3′-CITEs are modular and transferable by recombination in nature, and that...
