Summary
A fifth beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) RNA species has been detected in Europe in sugarbeet infected with P-type BNYVV. Very little sequence variation was found between two European sources of this RNA 5*, but considerable differences were detected between these two European sources on the one hand and the four Japanese sources recently analysed by Kiguchi et al. on the other. The BNYVV RNA 5-encoded 26K proteins share a stretch of six amino acids (FRGPGN) with the BNYVV RNA 3-encoded 25K protein which may be of interest in view of the reported interactions between the two RNAs in pathogenicity.
