Plant viruses depend on a number of host factors for successful infection. Deficiency of critical host factors confers recessively inherited viral resistance in plants. For example, loss of () in Arabidopsis thaliana confers resistance to potexviruses.

Pleioblastus mosaic virus (PleMV) is a tentative member of the genus Potyvirus in the family Potyviridae and was discovered in bamboo with mosaic symptoms in Tokyo, Japan. Since no information on the genome sequence of PleMV has been reported, its taxonomic position has long been uncertain. Here, we report the first complete genome sequences of two distinct PleMV isolates.
