The Potyviridae are a family of RNA viruses that make up more than 30% of the known plant viruses . Some representatives are of agricultural importance as pathogens of useful plants . The name is derived from potato virus Y ( Pot ato virus Y ) as the type species of the family from.

properties

Potyviridae have an RNA - genome of positive polarity , which (filamentous) in a rod-shaped capsid is packaged. In the host cell, Potyviridae produce cylindrical inclusion bodies from a protein of around 70 kilodaltons , which are known as pinwheels .

Systematics

Internal system

Due to the homology of the capsid protein, the potyviruses are divided into eight genera , of which only the bymoviruses have a double-stranded genome : The following classification into genera of the Potyviridae follows the requirements of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) as of November 2018 , The type species is given as an example :

  • Family Potyviridae

The largest group of the Potyviridae is the genus Potyvirus , with more than 100 members. Potyviruses are naturally transmitted by Aphididae (tube aphids) and are 720 to 850 nm in length. Maclura viruses are 650–675 nm long and are also transmitted by Aphididae. The plant viruses of Ipomoviren are whitefly transmitted and are 750-950 nm long. Tritimoviruses and rymoviruses are 680–750 nm long and are transmitted by cotton grass mites. Rymoviruses are closely related to the potyviruses. Bymoviruses produce virus particles (virions) in two different sizes and are transmitted by Polymyxa graminis .

External system

In 2015, Koonin et al assigned the Potyviridae taxonomically (due to their relationship) to one of their postulated supergroups, “Picornavirus-like superfamily”. The members of this proposed supergroup belong to different groups of the Baltimore classification , usually single-stranded RNA viruses of positive polarity ((+) ssRNA, Baltimore group 4), but they are also - like the Birnaviridae - double-stranded representatives (marked with dsRNA, Baltimore Group 3). This suggestion has now been replaced by the ICTV Master Species List # 35 of March 2020. A comparison of the cladograms can be found in Picornavirales §ICTV Master Species List # 35 .
