Cauliflower mosaic virus contains : -Most plant viruses (e.g. TMV) have single-stranded RNA.
Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) is an exception: its genome is double-stranded DNA, which it replicates through an RNA intermediate (reverse transcription).
Its 35S promoter is widely used in plant genetic engineering.
So cauliflower mosaic virus contains ds DNA.
