DNA, a gene derived from the genome of the hop latent virus, encoding the coat protein of the virus. The DNA is useful of a development of an efficient gene diagnostic method for detecting the hop latent virus-infected plant.

Hop latent virus coat protein

DNA, a gene derived from the genome of the hop latent virus, encoding the coat protein of the virus and having the base sequence described in the sequence identification number 1 in the sequence listing. The DNA is useful of a development of an efficient gene diagnostic method for detecting the hop latent virus-infected plant.
