The genome of cassava common mosaic potexvirus (CsCMV) has been sequenced from cDNA clones and consists of 6376 nucleotides (nt). A 76 nt untranslated region (UTR) at the 5? terminus was followed by ORF1 which potentially encodes a protein of 1449 amino acids (aa). ORFs 2, 3, and 4 were predicted...

The cultivation of calopo, Calopogonium mucunoides, as a promising forage legume for the lowland tropics, was hindered by its susceptibility to a severe yellow mosaic disease observed in the Eastern Plains of Colombia. An isometric virus ca. 28 nm in diameter was observed by electron microscopy i...

Cassava vein mosaic virus (CVMV) was found to be widespread throughout the north-eastern region of Brazil. The complete sequence of CVMV was determined, and the genome was 8158 bp in size. A cytosolic initiator methionine tRNA (tRNAmeti)-binding site that probably acts as a primer for minus-stran...
