Abstract The morphogenetic pathway of bacteriophage phi X 174 was investigated in rep mutant hosts that specifically block stage III single-stranded DNA synthesis. The defects conferred by the mutant rep protein most likely affect the formation or stabilization of the 50S complex, a single-stranded DNA synthesizing intermediate, which consists of a viral prohead and a DNA replicating intermediate (preinitiation complex). phi X 174 mutants, ogr (rep), which restore the ability to propagate in the mutant rep hosts, were isolated. The org (rep) mutations confer amino acid substitutions in the viral coat protein, a constituent of the prohead, and the viral A protein, a constituent of the preinitiation complex. Four of the six coat protein substitutions are localized on or near the twofold axis of symmetry in the atomic structure of the mature virion.

The Capsicum spp. L genes (L1 to L4) confer resistance to tobamoviruses. Currently, the L4 gene from Capsicum chacoense is the most effective resistance gene and has been used widely in breeding programs in Japan which have developed new resistant cultivars against Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV). However, in 2004, mild mosaic symptoms began appearing on the leaves of commercial pepper plants in the field which possessed the L4 resistance gene. Serological and biological assays on Capsicum spp. identified the causal virus strain as a previously unreported pathotype, P1,2,3,4. PMMoV sequence analysis of the virus and site-directed mutagenesis using a PMMoV-J of the P1,2 pathotype revealed that two amino acid substitutions in the coat protein, Gln to Arg at position 46 and Gly to Lys at position 85, were responsible for overcoming the L4 resistance gene.
