| molecular characterization of allium virus x, a new potexvirus in the family alphaflexiviridae, infecting ornamental allium. | abtract: a new potexvirus affecting ornamental allium spp in the netherlands was identified and characterized at the molecular level. the virus had a single-stranded rna genome of 7100 bp (excluding the 18 bp poly a tail). the genome organization was found to be typical of members of the genus potexvirus and consisted of five open reading frames (orf). nucleotide and amino acid sequence comparisons with those of known potexvirus members showed that this virus is related to hosta virus x and hydr ... | 2011 | 21938462 |
| Sequencing of the Tamus red mosaic virus genome: further evidence that it is a distinct species of the genus Potexvirus. | In 1993, a virus causing red mosaic and leaf distortion has been isolated from black bryony (Tamus communis) in Italy. Based on particle properties and serology, the virus was assigned to the genus Potexvirus and named Tamus red mosaic virus (TRMV), pending a genome sequence. The original Italian TRMV isolate was submitted to the DSMZ plant virus collection (PV-0397). To confirm the taxonomic status of the virus, the entire genome sequence was determined comprising 6,495 nucleotides excluding th ... | 2011 | 21881939 |
