| Figure 3. The genetic map of Tobacco mosaic virus. The positions of the four genes are shown. The two larger ones (replicase-associated proteins) (A and B) code for proteins that participate in the replication of the RNA. Genes for the movement protein (C) and the coat protein (D) are located near the other end of the molecule. The arrow indicates the direction of transcription. (Courtesy R. Ford) |
