Arachis mottle-associated virus, a new polerovirus infecting Pinto peanut.

A new polerovirus, named "arachis mottle-associated virus" (ArMoV), was identified by high-throughput sequencing in a Pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi) plant. The genome sequence was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and contains 5775 nucleotides and seven predicted open reading frames (ORFs), showing a typical polerovirus genome structure. All of the proteins encoded by ArMoV showed less than 90% amino acid sequence identity to those of other poleroviruses, the threshold to establish a new species in the genus.

Complete genome sequence of mimosa mosaic virus, a new sobemovirus infecting Mimosa sensitiva L.

A new sobemovirus, which we have named "mimosa mosaic virus" (MimMV), was found by high-throughput sequencing and isolated from a mimosa (Mimosa sensitiva L.) plant. The genome sequence was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and comprises 4595 nucleotides.

Complete genome sequence of patchouli chlorosis-associated cytorhabdovirus, a new cytorhabdovirus infecting patchouli plants in Brazil.

A cytorhabdovirus, tentatively named "patchouli chlorosis-associated cytorhabdovirus" (PCaCV), was identified in a patchouli plant, using high-throughput sequencing, and its genome sequence was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The PCaCV genome consists of 12,913 nucleotides and contains six open reading frames in the order 3'-N-P'-P-P3-M-(G)-L-5'. The glycoprotein gene was found to contain stop codons in the coding frame; hence, this gene is considered defective.

Arachis virus Y, a new potyvirid from Brazilian forage peanut (Arachis pintoi).

The complete nucleotide sequence of a new member of the family Potyviridae, which we propose to name "Arachis virus Y" (ArVY), is reported from forage peanut plants (Arachis pintoi) exhibiting virus-like symptoms. The ArVY positive-sense RNA genome is 9,213 nucleotides long and encodes a polyprotein with 2,947 amino acids that is predicted to be cleaved into 10 mature proteins. The complete single open reading frame (ORF) of ArVY shares 47% and 34% nucleotide and amino acid sequence identity, respectively, with the closest related virus, soybean yellow shoot virus.
