Discovery of a Small Non-AUG-Initiated ORF in Poleroviruses and Luteoviruses That Is Required for Long-Distance Movement. [PDF]
Viruses in the family Luteoviridae have positive-sense RNA genomes of around 5.2 to 6.3 kb, and they are limited to the phloem in infected plants. The Luteovirus and Polerovirus genera include all but one virus in the Luteoviridae.

Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus Influences Its Vector’s Endosymbionts but Not Its Thermotolerance
The barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) of cereals is thought to substantially increase the high-temperature tolerance of its aphid vector, Rhopalosiphum padi, which may enhance its transmission efficiency.

Complete genome sequence of almond luteovirus 1, a novel luteovirus infecting almond [PDF]
In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of a novel luteovirus detected in almond using high-throughput sequencing. The genome of the new luteovirus comprises 5,047 nucleotides, and its genomic organization is similar to that of the recently described nectarine stem pitting associated virus (NSPaV), with only four open reading frames ...
