Soymovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Caulimoviridae and the order Ortervirales . Plants serve as natural hosts. There are seven species in this genus. [1] [2]
The genus contains the following species, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species: [2] [3]
Viruses in Soymovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=7 symmetry. The diameter is around 50 nm. Genomes are circular. The genome codes for 8 proteins. [1]
| Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic arrangement | Genomic segmentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soymovirus | Icosahedral | T=7 | Non-enveloped | Circular | Monopartite |
Viral replication is nuclear/cytoplasmic. Replication follows the dsDNA(RT) replication model. The method of transcription is dsDNA(RT) transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export, and tubule-guided viral movement. Plants serve as the natural host. The virus is transmitted via a vector (aphid insects). Transmission routes are mechanical. [1]
