Abstract excerpt
Plum bark necrosis stem pitting-associated virus (PBNSPaV), the causal agent of plum bark necrosis stem pitting disease, belongs to the genus Ampelovirus in the family Closteroviridae. The complete genome sequence of PBNSPaV isolates from four Prunus sources was determined by pyrosequencing. All isolates showed the same genomic organization as the PBNSPaV reference isolate. The least divergent isolate, found in a...
