Abstract
Mosaic virus is caused by a variety of viruses which attack all members of the cucurbit family, but especially thrive on summer squash, cucumber and muskmelon plants. It is spread by a variety of methods and so is a serious disease for plants of the curcurbit family, including cucumbers, gourds, muskmelons, winter squash, summer squash, watermelons and pumpkins. The virus can infect cucumber, squash, muskmelon, and numerous other hosts in 34 plant families, including tomato, lima bean, beet, sweet corn, and sweet potato. Most often, actively growing and mature plants are affected. It rarely infects plants in the seedling stage, but will kill them quickly when it does. It causes a decrease in the number and the quality of the fruit. In this study with the help of various softwares we have elucidated the primary structure and secondary structure information and its components. The predicted and analyzed information can be further used in determining the three dimensional analysis and related studies for these proteins.
Key words:Mosaic Virus, Poly Protein, p3 Protein, sequence analysis.
