The genus
Potexvirus
comprises a group of plant RNA viruses, including viruses that cause serious damage to agricultural crops. We previously showed that loss of
Essential for poteXvirus Accumulation 1
(
EXA1
) in
Arabidopsis thaliana
confers resistance to potexviruses.
The complete genome sequence of an iris severe mosaic virus isolate (ISMV) from Iris tectorum in Japan was determined for the first time. According to sequence identity analyses, our specimen is closely related to isolates reported from China.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
