Abstract excerpt
Deep-sequencing technology applied on double stranded RNA recovered from an apricot tree with vein clearing symptoms allowed the identification of a novel virus with a single-stranded RNA genome, for which the provisional name apricot vein clearing-associated virus (AVCaV) is proposed. Its genome comprises 7315nt, excluding the poly(A) tail, covering four open reading frames (ORFs). The putative virus-encoded...
