Single-stranded RNA + sense genomes with a 3’- t-RNA like structure and no polyA tail 2. Rod-shaped virions 20-25nm in diameter with a central “canal” 3. Alpha-like replication proteins that form a distinct phylogenetic “family” (Koonin & Dolja, 1993) 4. Coat proteins of 19-24kDa 5. Movement proteins that are either a single protein of the ‘30K’ superfamily (Melcher, 2000) or from a distinct subset of TGBs (Morozov & Solvyev, 2003) This includes all the rod-shaped plant viruses except those of the genus Benyvirus that are much more distantly related in phylogenetic analyses. The genera themselves are justified largely on the basis of genome organization (Fig. 1) and phylogenetic analysis and their major properties are summarized in Table 1. Table 1.

The replication protein More than 10 years ago, Koonin & Dolja (1993) included all these viruses within RdRp Supergroup 3, which they sub-divided into 3 lineages that they suggested might correspond to Orders: Tymo (including tymoviruses and the genera that we now have in the family Flexiviridae), Rubi (including benyviruses, alphaviruses and others) and Tobamo (including the viruses in the 6 genera considered here together with Closteroviridae, Bromoviridae and Idaeovirus). Phylogenetic analysis of the RdRp domain, of the whole replication protein or of the fused Met-Hel-RdRp domains continues to support this grouping (see Fig. 2). The replication proteins constitute the majority of the genomes of these viruses and provide the best phylogenetic trees but there are also indications of relatedness amongst the other genes (see below). 2. The movement proteins (a) The ‘30K’ proteins of Furovirus, Tobamovirus and Tobravirus are related but do not form a coherent subgroup of MPs as those of Furovirus are more closely related to those of Dianthovirus and Bromoviridae than to the other rod-shaped genera (Melcher, 2000) (Fig. 3). (b) The Triple gene block (TGB) proteins of the genera Hordeivirus, Pecluvirus and Pomovirus are clearly related, while those from the genus Benyvirus are more distantly related. A tree for TGBp1 sequences is provided in Fig. 4. The only other viruses with a TGB module are from the filamentous viruses in the family Flexiviridae. The TGBs of the rod shaped viruses differ from these in having a larger TGBp1 and TGBp3 (the latter having two, rather than one, transmembrane domains) and form a distinct group in phylogenetic anlayses. For more details supporting this classification of the TGB proteins, see Morozov & Solovyev (2003). 3. The coat proteins The small size of the coat protein and its inherent variability make it less suitable for phylogenetic analysis. Nevertheless, significant groupings of genera occur (Furo- with Pomo-; Peclu- with Hordei- and Tobra- a bit more distant) which correspond with those found within the RdRp (Fig. 5). 4. The small cysteine-rich proteins There are close relationships between the small cysteine-rich proteins of Furovirus, Hordeivirus, Pecluvirus and Tobravirus (Fig. 6) although those of Pomovirus do not align well with them.

    1/22 ISSN 0100-2945 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0100-29452017411 GRAPEVINE VIRUS DISEASES: ECONOMIC IMPACT AND CURRENT ADVANCES IN VIRAL PROSPECTION AND MANAGEMENT1 MARCOS FERNANDO BASSO2, THOR VINÍCIUS MArtins FAJARDO3, PASQUALE SALDARELLI4 ABSTRACT-Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is a major vegetative propagated fruit crop with high socioeconomic importance worldwide. It is susceptible to several graft-transmitted agents that cause several diseases and substantial crop losses, reducing fruit quality and plant vigor, and shorten the longevity of vines. The vegetative propagation and frequent exchanges of propagative material among countries contribute to spread these pathogens, favoring the emergence of complex diseases. Its perennial life cycle further accelerates the mixing and introduction of several viral agents into a single plant. Currently, approximately 65 viruses belonging to different families have been reported infecting grapevines, but not all cause economically relevant diseases. The grapevine leafroll, rugose wood complex, leaf degeneration and fleck diseases are the four main disorders having worldwide economic importance. In addition, new viral species and strains have been identified and associated with economically important constraints to grape production. In Brazilian vineyards, eighteen viruses, three viroids and two virus-like diseases had already their occurrence reported and were molecularly characterized. Here, we review the current knowledge of these viruses, report advances in their diagnosis and prospection of new species, and give indications about the management of the associated grapevine diseases. Index terms: Vegetative propagation, plant viruses, crop losses, berry quality, next-generation sequencing.

The supergroup is remarkably diverse both in its genetics and morphology and has historically remained difficult to study and classify. The accumulation of protein structure data in the past few years now provides an excellent opportunity to re-examine the classification and evolution of viruses. Here we scan completely sequenced viral proteomes from all genome types and identify protein folds involved in the formation of viral capsids and virion architectures.

The complete cDNA sequence corresponding to the genomic RNA of an isolate bamboo mosaic potexvirus (BaMV-V) from common bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris McClure) was determined. This isolate is the first potexvirus with which a satellite RNA has been associated. The genome organization of BaMV-V, similar to those of other potexviruses, contained five open reading frames (ORFs 15) coding for polypeptides with molecular weight of 156 kDa, 28 kDa, 13 kDa, 6 kDa, and 25 kDa, respectively. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed a 10.0% difference from the BaMV-O isolate previously described whereas the amino acid comparison showed a difference of 3.2%. When three conservative domains of RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) were used for phylogenetic analysis, the greatest variation between two strains of each virus was only 12.8% of that between the two closest members of the potexvirus group. The grouping of potexviruses distinct from other groups of plant viruses was also confirmed by a comparision of three conservative motifs of RdRp.

These viruses have all positive-sense single-stranded RNA genomes that consist of two to five RNA components. Three species of plasmodiophorids are recognized as vectors: Polymyxa graminis, P. betae, and Spongospora subterranea. The viruses can survive in soil within the long-lived resting spores of the vector. There are biological and genetic variations in both virus and vector species. Many of the viruses have become the causal agents of important diseases in major crops, such as rice, wheat, barley, rye, sugar beet, potato, and groundnut. Control measure is dependent on the development of the resistant cultivars. During the last half a century, several virus diseases have been rapidly spread and distributed worldwide. For the six major virus diseases, their geographical distribution, diversity, and genetic resistance are addressed.

    Viruses and virus diseases of Poaceae (Gramineae) Viruses The Poaceae are one of the most important plant families in terms of the number of species, worldwide distribution, ecosystems and as ingredients of human and animal food. It is not surprising that they support many parasites including and more than 100 severely pathogenic virus species, of which new ones are being virus diseases regularly described. This book results from the contributions of 150 well-known specialists and presents of for the first time an in-depth look at all the viruses (including the retrotransposons) Poaceae(Gramineae) infesting one plant family. Ta xonomic and agronomic descriptions of the Poaceae are presented, followed by data on molecular and biological characteristics of the viruses and descriptions up to species level. Virus diseases of field grasses (barley, maize, rice, rye, sorghum, sugarcane, triticale and wheats), forage, ornamental, aromatic, wild and lawn Gramineae are largely described and illustrated (32 colour plates). A detailed index Sciences de la vie e) of viruses and taxonomic lists will help readers in their search for information. Foreworded by Marc Van Regenmortel, this book is essential for anyone with an interest in plant pathology especially plant virology, entomology, breeding minea and forecasting.

To determine which other viruses are associated with soybean thrips, the metatranscriptome of soybean thrips, collected by the Midwest Suction Trap Network during 2018, was analyzed. Contigs assembled from the data revealed a remarkable diversity of virus-like sequences. Of the 181 virus-like sequences identified, 155 were novel and associated primarily with taxa of arthropod-infecting viruses, but sequences similar to plant and fungus-infecting viruses were also identified.
