taxonomic implications for fijiviruses based on the terminal sequences of fiji disease fijivirus. brief report.	the 5' and 3' terminal sequences of the plus strand of fiji disease fijivirus (fdv) segments 2, 3, 9 and 10 possess the conserved terminal sequences, 5'aaguuuuu.....cagcagauguc 3'. the 5' sequence is identical to that of maize rough dwarf fijivirus (mrdv) and rice black-streaked dwarf fijivirus (rbsdv), whereas the fdv 3' sequence shares the consensus, cagcnnnnguc, with mrdv and rbsdv. the fdv terminal sequences, and the amino acid sequences from fdv segment 9, are more closely related to those ...	1999	10603181
molecular characterization of bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus genome segment 4.	the complete nucleotide sequence of the genome segment 4 (s4) of bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (bmcpv) was determined. the 3,259-nucleotide sequence contains a single long open reading frame which spans nucleotides 14 to 3187 and which is predicted to encode a protein with a molecular mass of about 130 kda. western blot analysis showed that s4 encodes bmcpv protein vp3, which is one of the outer components of the bmcpv virion. sequence analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of ...	2001	11134312
molecular characterisation of segments 1 to 6 of rice black-streaked dwarf virus from china provides the complete genome.	the nucleotide sequences of segments s1 to s6 of a chinese isolate of rice black-streaked dwarf virus (rbsdv) were determined. this provides the first complete sequence of a plant pathogenic member of the genus fijivirus. the complete ten-segment genome has 29,141 nucleotides, making it the largest reovirus genome so far reported. each of the segments s1-s6 is predicted to encode a single major protein. protein comparisons indicated that s1 encoded an rna dependent rna polymerase, with similarit ...	2001	11811683
sequence and phylogenetic analysis of genome segments s1, s2, s3 and s6 of mal de río cuarto virus, a newly accepted fijivirus species.	mal de río cuarto virus (mrcv) is a newly described species of the genus fijivirus, family reoviridae. the nucleotide sequence of four mrcv genome segments was determined. mrcv s1, s2, s3 and s6 were predicted to encode proteins of 168.4, 134.4, 141.7 and 90 kda, respectively. mrcv s1 encodes a basic protein that contains conserved rna-dependent rna polymerase motifs, and is homologous to rice black streaked dwarf virus (rbsdv), fiji disease virus (fdv) and nilaparvata lugens reovirus (nlrv) pol ...	2003	12606083
sequence analysis of the complete genome of rice black-streaked dwarf virus isolated from maize with rough dwarf disease.	the complete nucleotide sequences of 10 genomic segments (s1-s10) from an isolate of rice black-streaked dwarf virus causing rough dwarf disease on maize (rbsdv-hbm) in china were determined, a total of 29,142 base pairs (bp). each segment possessed the genus-specific termini with conserved nucleotide sequences of (+) 5'-aaguuuuu......cagcunnnguc-3' and a perfect or imperfect inverted repeat of seven to eleven nucleotides immediately adjacent to the terminal conserved sequence. while the coding ...	2003	14501194
Identification of yeast associated with the planthopper, Perkinsiella saccharicida: potential applications for Fiji leaf gall control.	Yeasts associate with numerous insects, and they can assist the metabolic processes within their hosts. Two distinct yeasts were identified by PCR within the planthopper Perkinsiella saccharicida, the vector of Fiji disease virus to sugarcane. The utility of both microbes for potential paratransgenic approaches to control Fiji leaf gall (FLG) was assessed. Phylogenetic analysis showed one of the microbes is related to yeast-like symbionts from the planthoppers: Laodelphax striatellus, Nilaparvat ...	2011	21850475
