A proposed new virus in the genus Marafivirus detected from Oriental persimmon ‘Kumemaru’
摘要
A novel virus belonging to the genus Marafivirus was identified from the male Oriental persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) cultivar ‘Kumemaru’. The complete genome of persimmon marafivirus (PerMaV) is 6,397 nucleotides in length and encodes a single large polyprotein containing conserved domains typical of viruses in the genus Marafivirus. Phylogenetic and sequence identity analyses indicate that PerMaV represents a new species in the family Tymoviridae.
