Pecluvirus

Pecluvirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Virgaviridae.[2] Cereal crops and graminaceous weeds serve as natural hosts. There are currently only two species in this genus including the type species Peanut clump virus. Diseases associated with this genus include: (SBWMV): green and yellow mosaic.[2][3][4] The name of the genus is derived from its type species, Peanut clump virus, giving rise to Pecluvirus.[5]

Structure

Viruses in the genus Pecluvirus are non-enveloped, with elongated rod-shaped geometries, and helical symmetry. The diameter is around 21 nm, with a length of 245 nm. Genomes are linear and segmented, segments are about 5.9 and 4.8kb in length.[2][3]

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. Translation takes place by leaky scanning, and suppression of termination. The virus exits the host cell by tripartite non-tubule guided viral movement. Cereal crops and graminaceous weeds serve as the natural host. The virus is transmitted via a vector (fungus). Transmission routes are vector and seed borne.[2][3]

gollark: Consider the difficulty of having to collect then dispose of/recycle "spent" solar panels ~30 years after deployment.
gollark: One problem with solar/wind is that (like most things) they degrade over time (lithium ion batteries, which you could end up needing many of, especially fast), and would be in remote locations in huge quantities...
gollark: Nuclear also doesn't take up much land, and could be way more efficient than it already is if it was actually deployed at scale and new technologies got used.
gollark: The waste is basically a non problem compared to carbon dioxide and they run constantly.
gollark: Nuclear is far superior to foolish wind/solar.
