The sequences of 189 residues from the 3' terminus of three RNAs of one strain and two RNAs of another strain of tomato aspermy virus have been determined; there was almost complete sequence homology between the RNAs. A base-paired transfer RNA-like structure is proposed for tomato aspermy virus RNAs which is similar in many aspects to the structure proposed for the 3'-terminal 172 residues of RNA 4 of the Q-strain of cucumber mosaic virus (R. H. Symons, Nucleic Acids Res.7, 825-837, 1979). These 172 residues of cucumber mosaic virus RNA 4 can be aligned to show 73% sequence homology with the 3'-terminal 189 residues of the tomato aspermy virus RNAs.

Tomato aspermy virus (TAV, genus Cucumovirus from the family Bromoviridae) is one of the most common and harmful chrysanthemum viruses, causing severe flower distortion, size reduction, and color breaking. Metatranscriptome sequencing of chrysanthemum plants of the Ribonette and Golden Standard cultivars from the collection of the Nikita Botanical Garden (Yalta, Republic of Crimea) generated TAV-related RNA reads. The complete genomes of two Russian isolates of the virus were assembled from the reads.

is one of the most economically important flowers globally due to its high ornamental value. In recent years, a large percentage of the genome has been determined, making this species useful as a model chrysanthemum plant. To fully utilize the genome's information, efficient and rapid gene functional analysis methods are needed.

Tomato aspermy virus (TAV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) belong to the genus Cucumovirus in the family Bromoviridae. The cucumovirus 2b protein is one of the first identified viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSR). The cucumovirus 2b protein contains a conserved amino acid motif consisting of several highly conserved amino acid residues.
