February of 1637 auction of tulip bulbs people just stopped buying, and paying the high prices = panic. 95% of tulip bulbs in the world: viral infection got worse and worse and began killing the tulips. Of all viruses that we know about are ones that attack plants. All viruses need an expression strategy that infect eukaryotes, most cases when a virus that enters a plant the most common type is +sense virsus = ssrna (vast majority of viruses) When +strand enters in cell acts as messenger rna (single stranded) (+ means directly) +sense associates with ribosomes producing protein in. Mrna gets produced and contains orf (open reading frame) Ofr part of mrna that encodes for the protein, part of rna matches the protein (translated into the protein)
