The construct includes a nucleic acid molecule configured to silence Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV), a 5' DNA promoter sequence, and a 3' terminator sequence.

Even the movie has a distinct 60s flavor, right from the tripped-out eyes of a snake to the vultures with a mop top.

When PMTV-infected tubers are planted as seed, the virus is passed on as a secondary infection to only limited numbers of progeny tubers (30 - 50%).

Visual inspection of plants or tubers may be inconclusive for PMTV because the symptoms are similar to responses caused by other viruses or physiological conditions.
