Family: Fabaceae Fodder plant
Arachis pintoi virus (ApV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Allexivirus Family: Alphaflexiviridae
Geographical distribution
ApV infection in plants of Arachis pintoi was reported from Colombia (Gutierrez Sanchez et al. 2016).
Transmission
The virus is transmitted by mechanical sap inoculation. Use of infected vegetative propagative material is another source of virus spread.
Virion properties and genome
The virions are very flexuous filaments of about 800 nm in length and 12 nm in diameter. The genome contains a single molecule of single-stranded RNA of 7599 nt (KX058345 = NC_032104) and comprises six ORFs, encoding, in order, the replication-related proteins, the first two proteins of a TGB, a serine-rich protein of unknown function, the CP and a putative nucleic acid-binding regulatory protein. Coat protein subunit is of one type, and 28 kDa in size (Gutierrez Sanchez et al. 2016).
