Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms persist (5/7), or disappear soon after infection (2/7).

Physical and biochemical properties

Properties of particles in sap

TIP: 54-56-58 °C. LIV: 1 days. DEP: log₁₀ minus 2 (1/2), or 4-5 (1/2). Leaf sap contains few virions (2/2), or contains many virions (1/2).

Particle morphology

Virions rhabdo- or bullet-shaped (25/25); enveloped (6/9), or not enveloped (3/9); with a clear modal length (10/10); of 100-249.1-440 nm; 30-63.56-87 nm wide. Axial canal obvious (2/2); 7-11-15 nm in diameter. Basic helix obvious (2/2); pitch of basic helix 4.5 nm.

Physical properties

One sedimenting component in purified preparations (1/1); sedimentation coefficient 285 S.

NCBI sequence data (Entrez search)

Replication

Replication does not depend on a helper virus (1/1).

Cytopathology

Virions found in cytoplasm (3/5), or in nuclei (2/5), or in the perinuclear space (3/5), or in cell vacuoles (1/5). Inclusions present in infected cells (4/4); are crystals in the cytoplasm (1/4), or crystals in the nucleus (1/4), or viroplasms (3/4); they contain virions (3/4), or they do not contain virions (1/4).
