Article Synopsis
- New plant diseases, including those caused by badnaviruses, pose significant threats to economically important crops like bananas, cacao, and citrus, leading to major yield losses.
- Badnaviruses, which are a type of pararetrovirus, have a unique ds DNA genome and can spread through vegetative propagating materials and insects, with some species showing a limited host range.
- Recent research has increased the known badnavirus species from 32 to 68, highlighting the growing need for effective management strategies, including traditional methods and advanced techniques like genome editing.
Badnaviruses (Family: Caulimoviridae; Genus: Badnavirus) are non-enveloped bacilliform DNA viruses with a monopartite genome containing about 7.2 to 9.2 kb of dsDNA with three to seven open reading frames.
