Narcissus white streak virus

''Narcissus white streak virus (NWSV) is a plant pathogen of the family Potyviridae which infects plants of the genus Narcissus, and is transmitted by aphids.[1] It is among the commonest and most serious of the viral infections that infect narcissi,[2][3] but appears to be confined to N. tazetta.[4]

Description

This virus causes narrow greenish-purple streaks that turn white to yellow, on the leaves and flower stalk after flowering, and premature senescence, which reduces bulb size and yields.[1]

Taxonomy

Despite its importance, there is relatively little phylogenetic information on NWSV and its taxonomy remains unresolved. It has been proposed as a tentative member of the genus Potyvirus,[5] but never formally accepted.

gollark: It's a really underpowered nRF51something-based single board computer the UK government gave loads of people for free some years ago, with a 5x5 LED matrix, a few GPIO pins, a USB port, and 2.4GHz radio.
gollark: I should really find something interesting to do with that micro:bit I have lying around.
gollark: Fun fact: computers now are better than older computers.
gollark: WHYYYY, hydronitrogen, WHY did you inflict this CURSE upon us?
