| the genomic and biological characterization of citrullus lanatus cryptic virus infecting watermelon in china. | a dsrna virus was detected in the watermelon (citrullus lanatus) samples collected from kaifeng, henan province, china through the use of next generation sequencing of small rnas. the complete genome of this virus is comprised of dsrna-1 (1603nt) and dsrna-2 (1466nt), both of which are single open reading frames and potentially encode a 54.2kda rna-dependent rna polymerase (rdrp) and a 45.9kda coat protein (cp), respectively. the rdrp and cp share the highest amino acid identities 85.3% and 75.4 ... | 2017 | 28238875 |
