Cassava brown streak virus evolves with a nucleotide-substitution rate that is typical for the family Potyviridae. [PDF]
The ipomoviruses (family Potyviridae) that cause cassava brown streak disease (cassava brown streak virus [CBSV] and Uganda cassava brown streak virus [UCBSV]) are damaging plant pathogens that affect the sustainability of cassava production in East and ...

Functional Specialization and Evolution of Leader Proteinases in the Family Closteroviridae [PDF]
ABSTRACT Members of the Closteroviridae and Potyviridae families of the plant positive-strand RNA viruses encode one or two papain-like leader proteinases. In addition to a C-terminal proteolytic domain, each of these proteinases possesses a nonproteolytic N-terminal domain.

Characterization of a Novel Member of the Family Closteroviridae from Mentha spp. [PDF]
While characterizing the agents involved in symptomatology of a variegated mint, Mentha × gracilis ‘Variegata’, a nursery plant with atypical symptoms was examined. This plant, unlike ‘Variegata’, did not exhibit yellow vein banding symptoms but instead had distorted and crinkled leaves.

Efficient Protein Expression and Virus-Induced Gene Silencing in Plants Using a Crinivirus-Derived Vector. [PDF]
Plant virus-based vectors are valuable tools for recombinant gene expression and functional genomics for both basic and applied research. In this study, Lettuce infectious yellows virus (LIYV) of the genus Crinivirus was engineered into a virus vector ...

Climate Change Drives the Distribution of Insect Vectors for GLRaV-3 on a Global Scale. [PDF]
The distribution range of seven insect vectors of GLRaV‐3 were predicted by MaxEnt model. Thermal conditions were a vital factor constraining the potential distribution ranges of all vector insects. Centroid shifts suggested that the potential distribution range of soft scale will move northward under climate change. Our study provides implications for

Genomic and biological analysis of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 7 reveals a possible new genus within the family Closteroviridae. [PDF]
Deep sequencing analysis of an asymptomatic grapevine revealed a virome containing five RNA viruses and a viroid. Of these, Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 7 (GLRaV-7), an unassigned closterovirus, was by far the most prominently represented sequence in the analysis.
