Tobravirus

Tobravirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Virgaviridae.[1] Plants serve as natural hosts. There are currently three species in this genus including the type species Tobacco rattle virus. Diseases associated with this genus include: SBWMV: green and yellow mosaic.[1][2]

Structure

Viruses in the genus Tobravirus are non-enveloped, with rod-shaped geometries, and helical symmetry. The diameter is around 22 nm, with two lengths: 46-115 nm and 180–215 nm.[1][2] Genomes are linear and segmented, bipartite, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA around 26.84.5kb in total length (8600–11300 nucleotides for each length).[1][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 suppression of termination. The virus exits the host cell by monopartite non-tubule guided viral movement. Plants serve as the natural host. The virus is transmitted via a vector (mechanical nematodes trichodorus and paratrichodorus). Transmission routes are vector and mechanical.[1][2]

gollark: Also, why does it always seem to return either 0 or something over 1000?
gollark: There's absolutely no situation in which I'd need that.
gollark: <@237328509234708481> You know the artist fuzzy search thing? What are you meant to do with that second return value (best starting position or whatever)?
gollark: Yes, which is decent and not just "yay I made a GUI".
gollark: I consider OSes decent if they do something other than just implement a new interface for launching programs and add a lock screen, and also are free of fake loading bars.
