Supplementary Table 2 Primers used for cloning and 5´ RACE.

Forward (F) and reverse (R) primer sets were used for cloning. 1–8F and 2–3F primers were each used as a set with oligo d(T)18 primer, respectively. GSP primers were used for 5´ RACE.


Supplementary Figure 1 Alignment of nucleotides (a) and deduced amino acids (b) of VPg among Japanese BaYMV strains I-IV.

Nucleotides or amino acids that are identical to those of Japanese strain I are indicated by dots. Secondary structure of the VPg protein was predicted using deduced amino acids from strain I of BaYMV. Prediction was conducted using the PSIPRED protein structure prediction method (http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/psipred/). Predicted secondary structures are indicated above the amino acid alignment. H: helix: b: β-sheet. Asterisk and double line under the alignment indicate the position related to overcoming rym4 resistance and the L(MVI)xL(MI)xxH motif, respectively. See text for detail.
