Secoviridae

(Redirected from Sequiviridae)

Secoviridae is a family of viruses in the order Picornavirales. Plants serve as natural hosts. There are 8 genera and 86 species in this family, one of which is unassigned to a genus.[1][2][3][4] The family was created in 2009 with the grouping of families Sequiviridae, now dissolved, and Comoviridae, now subfamily Comovirinae, along with the then unassigned genera Cheravirus, Sadwavirus, and Torradovirus.[4]

Taxonomy

edit

The family includes the following genera (-virinae denotes subfamily and -virus denotes genus):[4]

Structure

edit

Viruses in Secoviridae are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=pseudo3 symmetry. The diameter is around 25-30 nm. Genomes are linear and segmented, bipartite, around 24-7kb in length.[1][2][3]

Genus Structure Symmetry Capsid Genomic arrangement Genomic segmentation
Sequivirus Icosahedral Pseudo T=3 Non-enveloped Linear Monopartite
Sadwavirus Icosahedral Pseudo T=3 Non-enveloped Linear Segmented
Nepovirus Icosahedral Pseudo T=3 Non-enveloped Linear Segmented
Fabavirus Icosahedral Pseudo T=3 Non-enveloped Linear Segmented
Comovirus Icosahedral Pseudo T=3 Non-enveloped Linear Segmented
Cheravirus Icosahedral Pseudo T=3 Non-enveloped Linear Segmented
Torradovirus Icosahedral Pseudo T=3 Non-enveloped Linear Segmented
Waikavirus Icosahedral Pseudo T=3 Non-enveloped Linear Monopartite

Life cycle

edit

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. The virus exits the host cell by tubule-guided viral movement. Plants serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are mechanical.[1][2][3]

Waikavirus Gramineae Phloem; phloem parenchyma; bundle sheath Viral movement Viral movement Cytoplasm Cytoplasm Mechanical innocuation: aphids; mechanical innocuation: leafhoppers

Evolution

edit

The subfamily Comovirinae evolved ~1,000 years ago with extant species diversifying between 50 and 250 years ago.[5] This time period coincides with the intensification of agricultural practices in industrial societies.[citation needed]

The mutation rate has been estimated to be 9.29×10−3 to 2.74×10−3 subs/site/year.[citation needed]
