Closterovirus, also known as beet yellows viral group, is a genus of viruses, in the family Closteroviridae . [1] Plants serve as natural hosts. There are 17 species in this genus. [1] [2] Diseases associated with this genus include: yellowing and necrosis, particularly affecting the phloem. [1] [3] This genus has a probably worldwide distribution and includes among other viral species the Beet yellows virus and Citrus tristeza virus, rather economically important plant diseases. At least some species require vectors such as aphids or mealybugs for their transmission from plant to plant. [1]

Taxonomy

The following species are assigned to the genus, listed by scientific name and followed by their common names: [2]

RNA pseudoknot

The viral RNA molecules of some members of this genus contain four hair-pin structures and a pseudoknot in the 3'UTR. [4] These secondary structures have been found to be important in viral RNA replication. [5]

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded rna virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by tubule-guided viral movement. Plants serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are mechanical. [1] [3]

Structure

Viruses in Closterovirus are non-enveloped, with flexuous and filamentous geometries. The diameter is around 10-13 nm, with a length of 1250-2200 nm. Genomes are linear, around 19.3kb in length. [1] [3]
