Background: Grapevine leafroll-associated viruses are a problem for grape production globally. Symptoms are caused by a number of distinct viral species. During a survey of Napa Valley vineyards (California, USA), we found evidence of a new variant of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3). We isolated its genome from a symptomatic greenhouse-raised plant and fully sequenced it.
Findings: In a maximum likelihood analysis of representative GLRaV-3 gene sequences, the isolate grouped most closely with a recently sequenced variant from South Africa and a partial sequence from New Zealand. These highly divergent GLRaV-3 variants have predicted proteins that are more than 10% divergent from other GLRaV-3 variants, and appear to be missing an open reading frame for the p6 protein.
Conclusions: This divergent GLRaV-3 phylogroup is already present in grape-growing regions worldwide and is capable of causing symptoms of leafroll disease without the p6 protein.

Article Synopsis
- RNA silencing is a key defense mechanism in plants against viral infections, but viruses like apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) use RNA-silencing suppressors (RSSs) to counteract this defense.
- The helicase motif of ASGV's replicase functions as an RSS by inhibiting RNA silencing, but the pear transcription factor PbRAV1 can reduce its effectiveness by binding to it and decreasing its ability to bind siRNA.
- PbRAV1 also impacts another RSS from a different virus, demonstrating its dual role in defending against viral infections, while ASGV can manipulate other host proteins to enhance its own suppressive activity.

Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) is the most prevalent and economically damaging virus in grapevines and is found on nearly all continents, except Antarctica. Ten mealybugs act as vector insects transmitting the GLRaV-3. Understanding the potential distribution range of vector insects under climate change is crucial for preventing and managing vector insects and controlling and delaying the spread of GLRaV-3.
