Interaction of Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal subunits with MS2 phage RNA in the absence of initiation factors.

abstract：:Blue mold of tobacco is caused by the fungus Peronospora tabacina. Its spores are released in the morning when the relative humidity falls, but they require free water for germination. Traditionally, the walls of the shade tents are raised to control the pathogen by drying leaves. We show that raising the walls does n...
