A study of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) genome

Abstract
The sequence homology between individual RNA species of three-component Norwich strain of BSMV (BSMV-N) has been studied by kinetic hybridization analysis using complementary DNAs obtained for each of the three BSMV-N RNA species by the method of Taylor et al. (1976). No significant sequence homology could be detected between RNA 1, on the one hand, and RNA2 and RNA3, on the other, whereas RNA2 and RNA3 were found to be highly homologous.
