Virus DNA hidden in GMO crops

117. i'm glad i have offended you, because you have really blown your argument now! cheerio!

The Cauliflower mosaic virus occurs in nature, just like billions of other viruses. The fact that the CaMV causes causes mosaic symptoms in tobacco is a natural result of the fact that CaMV is not limited in its infection to cauliflower: it infects members of Brassicaceae, Solanaceae, Datura and Nicotiana.

now, here is the UNfootnoted part you 'pasted' from wiki

Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) is the type species of the family Caulimoviridae. This family is grouped together with Hepadnaviruses into the Pararetrovirus group due to its mode of replication via reverse transcription of a pre-genomic RNA intermediate.
CaMV infects mostly plants of the Brassicaceae family (examples: Caulifower, Turnip) but some CaMV strains (D4 and W260) are also able to infect Solanaceae species of the genera Datura and Nicotiana. CaMV induces a variety of systemic symptoms such as mosaic, necrotic lesions on leaf surfaces, or stunting and deformation of the whole plant, which vary depending on the viral strain, host ecotype and environmental conditions.
CaMV is transmitted in a no-circulated manner by aphid species such as Myzus persicae.Once introduced within a plant host cell, virions migrate to the nuclear envelope.

oh, YOU ARE SO WRONG. when you read the below, you see that the ONLY CaMV that affects tobacco, etc......

IS THE GENETICALLY MODIFIED ONE!!! GET IT??? D4 and W260 are MONSANTO's CRAP!!!

An analysis of 24 infected plants showed that a recombination event occurred in every plant, demonstrating that under strong selection conditions, the recovery of CaMV recombinants from transgenic plants can be very high.

did you mean cucumber, not cauliflower?
For example, plants including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and tobacco may all be infected by the tobacco mosaic virus.

so, yes, in nature, the CUCUMBER virus will cross to tobacco, but NOT in the nucleus, as i explained previously.
only in THE LAB does CaMV cross over INTO THE NUCLEUS, which is the WHOLE POINT of the controversy.

you just PROVED you don't know what you are talking about!

why so upset, does losing arguments affect your take home pay?

CaMV is a DNA virus, TMV is an RNA virus. get it?

Cauliflower mosaic virus

Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) is the type member of the caulimoviruses, one of the six genera in the Caulimoviridae family, pararetroviruses that infect plants (Pringle, 1999). Pararetroviruses replicate through reverse transcription just like retroviruses, but the viral particles contain DNA instead of RNA (Rothnie et al., 1994).

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a positive-sense single stranded RNA virus that infects plants, especially tobacco and other members of the family Solanaceae. The infection causes characteristic patterns (mottling and discoloration) on the leaves (hence the name). TMV was the first virus to be discovered. Although it was known from the late 19th century that an infectious disease was damaging tobacco crops, it was not until 1930 that the infectious agent was determined to be a virus.
