title: The nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of kennedya yellow mosaic tymovirus-Jervis Bay isolate: relationships with potex- and carlaviruses.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of kennedya yellow mosaic tymovirus-Jervis Bay isolate (KYMV-JB) has been determined. The genome of KYMV-JB is 6362 nucleotide residues long and encodes three major open reading frames. The genomic organization and the encoded proteins of KYMV-JB are very similar to those of three other tymoviruses that have recently been reported. Sequence comparisons revealed that the possible replicase proteins of tymoviruses are closely related to those of potexviruses and carlaviruses, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship among these viruses, despite differences in their genome organization and particle morphology.
