Arabidopsis halleri partitivirus 1

Taxonomic position

The virus is a tentative member of the genus Alphapartitivirus and family Partitiviridae.

Geographical distribution

The virus infection in plants of Arabidopsis halleri was reported from Japan (Kamitani et al. 2016).

Transmission

The virus is transmitted through pollen and seed.

Virion properties and genome

The virions are isometric, 25–50 nm in diameter. The genome consists of double-stranded RNA of two parts. RNA1 consists of 1959 nt (LC151461) and RNA2 is 1763 nt (LC151462) (Vainio et al. 2018).

Cauliflower mosaic virus        (CaMV)

Taxonomic position

Genus: Caulimovirus        Family: Caulimoviridae

CaMV infection in plants of Arabidopsis thaliana was reported from France, and Oklahoma, USA (Balazs and Lebeurier 1981; Melcher 1989). The virus-infected thale cress plants exhibit vein-clearing, chlorotic spotting, and stunting symptoms. The virus is transmitted by aphid vectors in a semi-persistent manner, and...
