Classification

This is a description of a plant virus at the species level with data on all virus properties from morphology to genome, replication, antigenicity and biological properties.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.015.0.05.011. Virus accession number: 15005011. Obsolete virus code: 15.0.5.0.011; 07.0.1.0.011; superceded accession number: 15050011; 07010011.
NCBI Taxon Identifier NCBI Taxonomy ID: 12435.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

ICTV approved acronym: SCBV. Virus is an ICTV approved species of the genus 00.015.0.05. Badnavirus in the family 00.015. Caulimoviridae.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid. Virus capsid is not enveloped. Capsid is elongated and exhibits icosahedral symmetry. The capsid is bacilliform. The capsid shells of virions are composed of multiple layers. With a length of 131 nm and a width of 31 nm.

Electron microscopic preparation and references: Reference for electron microscopic methods: Lockhart and Autry (1988).

Nucleic Acid

The genome is not segmented and contains a single molecule of circular. The genome is -RT. The genome is double-stranded DNA, is fully sequenced, complete sequence is 7568 nucleotides long. Sequence has the accession number [M89923]. The genome has terminally redundant sequences. The terminally redundant sequences have direct terminal repeats; are reiterated internally in inverted form.

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

The viral genome encodes structural proteins and non-structural proteins.

Non-Structural Proteins: The virus codes for an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase.

Lipids

Lipids are not reported.

Transcription: The virus codes for 3 ORF(s).

Translation: Replication involves a reverse transcription step.

Antigenicity

The virus is serologically related to banana streak virus. The virus does not show serological relationships to cacao swollen shoot, Commelina yellow mottle virus, Kalanchoe top spotting, yam bacilliform, rice tungro and canna yellow mottle viruses.

The virus is serologically closely related to banana streak badnavirus, but is probably distinct.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Domain Eucarya
Kingdom Plantae.

Kingdom Plantae
Phylum Magnoliophyta (Angiosperms, Class Liliopsida (Monocotyledonae).

Class Liliopsida (Monocotyledonae)
Subclass COMMELINIDAE; Order Commelinales.

Experimental Hosts and Symptoms

Under experimental conditions susceptibility to infection by virus is found in few families. Susceptible host species are found in the Family Gramineae. The following species were susceptible to experimental virus infection: Saccharum officinarum.

Experimentally infected insusceptible Hosts: Families containing insusceptible hosts: Chenopodiaceae, Gramineae, Solanaceae. Species inoculated with virus that do not show signs of susceptibility: Avena sativa, Chenopodium quinoa, Hordeum vulgare, Nicotiana benthamiana, Nicotiana glutinosa, Sorghum halepense, Triticum aestivum, Zea mays.

Diagnostic Hosts

Diagnostic host species and symptoms:

Saccharum officinarum (clone CP 44-101) — symptomless systemic infection. Diagnostic host: insusceptible host species Chenopodium quinoa, Nicotiana benthamiana, N. glutinosa, Sorghum halepense, Zea mays.

Maintenance and Propagation Hosts

Most commonly used maintenance and propagation host species are Saccharum officinarum.

Assay Hosts

Host: Assay hosts (for Local lesions or Whole plants):
Saccharum officinarum (clone CP 44-101) (W).

References to host data: Lockhart and Autry (1988).

Geographical Distribution

The virus occurs in Cuba, Morocco, and the United States of America (Florida and Hawaii).

Taxonomic Proposals and Changes

A taxonomic proposal has been submitted to the ICTV by the Plant Virus Subcommittee, Study Group for Caulimoviridae at the meeting in Strasburg, April 1997. The proposal has been approved at the meeting of the Executive Committee in Strasburg, 1997, the taxon has been removed from the Species (Badnavirus).
