Tombusvirus-Like Viruses (Tombusviridae)

Tipo de material: TextoTextoSeries ; Encyclopedia of Virology, 3, p.778-796, 2021Trabajos contenidos:
  • White, K.A
Recursos en línea: Resumen: Tombusvirus is the type genus in the family Tombusviridae, which currently includes a total of sixteen genera. The members of this extensive family possess linear, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genomes that are packaged into spherical particles and, collectively, infect a wide variety of plant hosts. The overall grouping of these viruses is based on the presence of a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Within the family, members are further subdivided into subfamilies, genera, and species based on similarities in gene expression strategies and encoded proteins. In this article, the genus Tombusvirus and those genera that are most closely related to this genus, i.e., Aureusvirus and Zeavirus, are described.
