Jl. Badge et al., A BYMOVIRUS PCR PRIMER AND PARTIAL NUCLEOTIDE-SEQUENCE PROVIDES FURTHER EVIDENCE FOR THE RECOGNITION OF RICE NECROSIS MOSAIC-VIRUS AS A BYMOVIRUS, European journal of plant pathology, 103(8), 1997, pp. 721-724
Rice necrosis mosaic virus (RNMV) has physico-chemical and biological
properties typical of the Bymovirus genus. However, to date no sequenc
e data has been reported for RNMV. In this paper we report the use of
a PCR primer, designed from an area of high homology between bymovirus
es and related macluraviruses within the NIb gene, which generated a 1
.4kb fragment from the 3' terminal region of RNA 1 of RNMV. The sequen
ce data generated from this region confirmed the classification of RNM
V as a member of the Bymovirus genus.
