Discovery and Genome Characterization of a Closterovirus from Wheat Plants with Yellowing Leaf Symptoms in Japan [PDF]
Many aphid-borne viruses are important pathogens that affect wheat crops worldwide. An aphid-transmitted closterovirus named wheat yellow leaf virus (WYLV) was found to have infected wheat plants in Japan in the 1970s; however, since then, its viral ...

Grapevine leafroll-associated closterovirus 7 in Greece
An extensive survey was carried out to assess, by ELISA, the occurrence of grapevine closteroviruses in several grape-growing areas of Greece, with particular regard to GLRaV-7. Samples were collected in commercial vineyards and varietal collections from

Identification of Interactions between Proteins Encoded by Grapevine Leafroll-Associated Virus 3 [PDF]
The roles of proteins encoded by members of the genus Ampelovirus, family Closteroviridae are largely inferred by sequence homology or analogy to similarly located ORFs in related viruses. This study employed yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence
