Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and brome mosaic virus (BMV) are isometric plant viruses. Although biologically distinct, they share many common chemical properties. An analysis of the partial genomic RNA sequence available for these two viruses reveals that they are evolutionarily related. Different segments of the genome exhibit different evolutionary rates. The coat proteins, which serve as carriers of genetic material, possess little or no homology. In contrast, the 3a proteins show over 35% homology. The non-coding regions of the genome also exhibit extensive but variable homology suggesting the functional importance of the nucleic acid.
