Abstract
⺠Four virus genes were mutated to assess requirement for maintenance of a betasatellite. ⺠Mutation of the coat protein (CP) abolished infectivity. ⺠Mutation of V2 and C2 genes abolished symptoms and impaired the maintenance of the betasatellite. ⺠Mutation of the C4 gene affected only virus symptoms. ⺠CP, V2 and C2 likely play a part in maintenance of the betasatellite.
