Soymovirus

Soymovirus
Virus classification
Group: Group VII (dsDNA-RT)
Family: Caulimoviridae
Genus: Soymovirus
Type species
Soybean chlorotic mottle virus

Soymovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Caulimoviridae. Plants serve as natural hosts. There are currently four species in this genus including the type species Soybean chlorotic mottle virus.

Group: ssRNA-RT

Viruses in Soymovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=7 symmetry. The diameter is around 50 nm. Genomes are circular. The genome codes for 8 proteins.

Viral replication is nuclear/cytoplasmic. Replication follows the dsDNA(RT) replication model. The method of transcription is dsDNA(RT) transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export, and tubule-guided viral movement. Plants serve as the natural host. The virus is transmitted via a vector (aphid insects). Transmission routes are mechanical.
