Solendovirus

Solendovirus
Virus classification
Group: Group VII (dsDNA-RT)
Family: Caulimoviridae
Genus: Solendovirus
Type Species
  • Tobacco vein clearing virus

Solendovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Caulimoviridae. Plants serve as natural hosts. There are currently only two species in this genus, including the type species Tobacco vein clearing virus. Diseases associated with this genus include: TVCV: vein-clearing symptoms in N. edwardsonii.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Group: ssRNA-RT

Structure

Viruses in Solendovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=7 symmetry. The diameter is around 50 nm. Genomes are circular and non-segmented, around 7.7kb in length. The genome has 3 open reading frames.[1]

Life Cycle

Viral replication is nuclear/cytoplasmic. Replication follows the dsDNA(RT) replication model. Dsdna(rt) transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export, and tubule-guided viral movement. Plants serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are seed borne.[1]
