Distribution and Location of BEVs in Different Genotypes of Bananas Reveal the Coevolution of BSVs and Bananas.

Members of the family contain abundant endogenous pararetroviral sequences (EPRVs) integrated into the host genome. Banana streak virus (BSV), a member of the genus in this family, has two distinct badnaviral integrated sequences, endogenous BSV (eBSV) and banana endogenous badnavirus sequences (BEVs). BEVs are distributed widely across the genomes of different genotypes of bananas.

Development of SYBR Green I Based Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Specific Detection of .

Background: (WSMoV), which belongs to the genus , causes significant loss in plants.

Objectives: Development of a highly sensitive and reliable detection method for WSMoV.

Materials And Methods: Recombinant plasmids for targeting the sequence of nucleocapsid protein gene of WSMoV were constructed.

Complete genome sequence of a Watermelon silver mottle virus isolate from China.

The complete genome of a Watermelon silver mottle virus (WSMoV) (genus Tospovirus, family Bunyaviridae) isolate (WSMoV-GZ) from Guangdong province, China was sequenced. The genomes of WSMoV-GZ contained 3,603, 4,909, and 8,914 nt of small (S), medium (M), and large (L) RNA segments, respectively, and had a genomic organization characteristic of members of the genus Tospovirus. The amino acid sequence of the nucleocapsid (N) protein, S RNA-encoded nonstructural (NSs) protein, M RNA-encoded nonstructural (NSm) protein, Gn/Gc glycoprotein precursor, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) protein showed 94.
