Blueberry red ringspot virus, sequences, promoters, and uses thereof

摘要

A nucleic acid sequence of the blueberry red ringspot virus is disclosed. Also disclosed are putative promoter regions of the sequence and promoter regions capable of directing transgene expression in plants, including tissue-specific expression. Also disclosed are expression vectors, transformed plant cells and plants containing a blueberry red ringspot virus promoter and an encoded product for expression. Methods for diagnosis of blueberry red ringspot virus infection are also provided.
