Name, Synonyms and Lineage

Morphology

Electron microscopic preparation and references: Virus preparation contains many virions. Reference for electron microscopic methods: Francki and McLean (1968).

Physicochemical and Physical Properties

Nucleic Acid

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

The viral genome encodes structural proteins and non-structural proteins. Virions consist of 1 structural protein(s).

Structural Proteins: Reference to amino acid sequence or composition Shaw and Larson (1962, Shaw et al. (1962, Miki and Knight (1968).

Lipids

Transcription: The virus codes for 5 ORF(s).

Coding Strategy of Segment 1: Sequence has a gene block. Sequence has triple gene block sequence (TGB). Encodes proteins involved in cell to cell movement.

Natural Host

Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Domain Eucarya
Kingdom Plantae.

Kingdom Plantae
Phylum Magnoliophyta (Angiosperms, Class Magnoliopsida (Dicotyledonae).

Class Magnoliopsida (Dicotyledonae)
Subclass ASTERIDAE.

Severity and Occurrence of Disease

Transmission and Vector Relationships

Experimental Hosts and Symptoms

Diagnostic Hosts

Datura stramonium — systemic chlorotic rings, then mosaic and mottling.

Nicotiana tabacum — systemic ringspot or mottle.

Some strains symptomless at high glasshouse temperatures.

Maintenance and Propagation Hosts

Assay Hosts

Histopathology: Virus can be best detected in mesophyll and less frequently in the epidermis. Virions are found in the cytoplasm.

Cytopathology: Inclusions are mainly near the nucleus present in infected cells. Cytoplasmic inclusions are amorphous X-bodies (Kozar and Sheludko, 1969). Inclusions contain mature virions.

The description has been generated automatically from DELTA files.

ICTVdB - The Universal Virus Database, developed for the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by Dr Cornelia Büchen-Osmond, is written in DELTA. The virus descriptions in ICTVdB are coded by ICTV members and experts, or by the ICTVdB Management using data provided by the experts, the literature or the latest ICTV Report. The character list is the underlying code. All virus descriptions are based on the character list and natural language translations from the encoded descriptions are automatically generated and formatted for display on the Web.

Developer of the DELTA software: M. J. Dallwitz, T. Paine and E. Zurcher
