A series of insertion mutants of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) DNA has been constructed in vitro. These insertions consist of a short DNA sequence (10 or 22 bp) containing a restriction
endonuclease
site (SmaI) not represented on the viral DNA. Viral infectivity was analyzed by inoculating plants with the mutated cloned viral DNA and observing symptoms. Insertions within ORFVII, and in one site within the large intergenic region, did not interfere with viral infectivity, whilst insertions within
ORFII
and at the end of ORFIV retarded the development of viral symptoms. All other insertion mutants analyzed were lethal. CaMV with a deletion of 105 bp within ORFVII was viable. Such viable mutants can be used to construct additional deletions or to insert foreign DNA into the viral genome.
