The Descriptions of Plant Viruses (DPVs) were first published by the Association of Applied Biologists in 1970 as a series of leaflets, each one written by an expert describing a particular plant virus. [2] In 1998 all of the 354 DPVs published in paper were scanned, and converted into an electronic format in a database and distributed on CDROM.
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a plant pathogenic virus [1] in the family Bromoviridae. [2] This virus has a worldwide distribution and a very wide host range, [3] having the reputation of the widest host range of any known plant virus. [4] It can be transmitted from plant to plant both mechanically by sap and by aphids in a stylet-borne fashion.
These viruses are responsible for a significant amount of crop damage worldwide. Epidemics of geminivirus diseases have arisen due to a number of factors, including the recombination of different geminiviruses coinfecting a plant, which enables novel, possibly virulent viruses to be developed. Other contributing factors include the transport of ...
Caulimoviridae is a family of viruses infecting plants. [1] There are 94 species in this family, assigned to 11 genera. [2] [3] Viruses belonging to the family Caulimoviridae are termed double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) reverse-transcribing viruses (or pararetroviruses) i.e. viruses that contain a reverse transcription stage in their replication cycle.
The major host of ClYMV is clover (Trifolium spp).It was first reported in white clover (Trifolium repens) as early as 1939.However, in 1942 the virus in white clover, then called Trifolium virus 1 or white-clover mosaic was found to be two different viruses [8] when one proved to be transmitted by dodder and did not infect cowpea (Vigna sinensis).
Papaya mosaic virus (PapMV) is a plant pathogenic virus in the genus Potexvirus and the family Alphaflexiviridae. PapMV is a filamentous, flexuous rod, 530 nm in length. [1] The virus is a monopartite strand of positive-sense, single-stranded RNA surrounded by a capsid made for a single viral encoded protein.
Bidens mottle virus (BiMoV) is a pathogenic plant virus in the plant virus family Potyviridae. [1] BiMoV is a flexuous filamentous particle, [2] 720 nm long, and belongs to the Potyviridae genus Potyvirus. Like other viruses in this genus, Bidens mottle virus is transmitted both mechanically by sap and by aphids in a stylet-borne fashion.
