[EN] Potato virus Y (PVY) is a plant virus distributed worldwide that causes damage to several species of the Solanaceae family. It was established long ago that groups of PVY isolates defined by phylogenetic analyses ...
Mushegian, Arcady; Shipunov, Alexey; Elena Fito, Santiago Fco(BioMed Central, 2016-08-15)
Background: The known plant viruses mostly infect angiosperm hosts and have RNA or small DNA genomes. The only other lineage of green plants with a relatively well-studied virome, unicellular chlorophyte algae, is mostly ...
