| characterization of a virus infecting citrus volkameriana with citrus leprosis-like symptoms. | a citrus volkameriana tree displaying symptoms similar to citrus leprosis on its leaves and bark was found in hawaii. citrus leprosis virus c (cilv-c)-specific detection assays, however, were negative for all tissues tested. short, bacilliform virus-like particles were observed by transmission electron microscopy in the cytoplasm of symptomatic leaves but not in healthy controls. double-stranded (ds) rnas ≈8 and 3 kbp in size were present in symptomatic leaf tissue but not in healthy controls. e ... | 2012 | 21916557 |
| a cilevirus infects ornamental hibiscus in hawaii. | the complete nucleotide sequence of a virus infecting ornamental hibiscus (hibiscus sp.) in hawaii with symptoms of green ringspots on senescing leaves was determined from double-stranded rna isolated from symptomatic tissue. excluding polyadenylated regions at the 3' termini, the bipartite rna genome was 8748 and 5019 nt in length for rna1 and rna2, respectively. the genome organization was typical of a cilevirus: rna1 encoded a large replication-associated protein with methyltransferase, prote ... | 2013 | 23732930 |
