Konjak Mosaic Virus, a New Potyvirus Infecting Konjak, Amorphophallus konjac.

A type of sugarcane mosaic virus infecting maize,surghum and johnsongrass in iran

Pepper yellow mosaic virus, a new potyvirus in sweetpepper, Capsicum annuum Brief Report

A potyvirus was found causing yellow mosaic and veinal banding in sweetpepper in Central and Southeast Brazil. The sequence analysis of the 3′ terminal region of the viral RNA revealed a coat protein of 278 amino acids, followed by 275 nucleotides in the 3′-untranslated region preceding a polyadenylated tail. The virus shared 77.4% coat protein amino acid identity with Pepper severe mosaic viru...

Complete Genome Sequence of a Tomato-Infecting Tomato Mottle Mosaic Virus in New York.

The complete genome sequence of an isolate of tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) infecting tomatoes in New York was obtained using small RNA (sRNA) deep sequencing. ToMMV_NY-13 shared 99% sequence identity with isolates from Mexico and Florida. Broader distribution of this emerging virus is a cause for concern to the tomato industry.

Viscosity and Gel Formation of a Konjac Flour from Amorphophallus oncophyllus

The influences of different variables on the viscosity and gel formation of the konjac flour produced from Amorphophallus oncophyllus have been studied. At the concentration studied, the 1.5% konjac flour yielded a viscous solution than that of 0.5% konjac flour. The viscosity of konjac flour solution were unaffected by pH (pH 2 to pH 8), salt concentration (0-10% w/v), and high acid (pH 3.5) /...

Discovery and small RNA profile of Pecan mosaic-associated virus, a novel potyvirus of pecan trees

A novel potyvirus was discovered in pecan (Carya illinoensis) showing leaf mosaic symptom through the use of deep sequencing of small RNAs. The complete genome of this virus was determined to comprise of 9,310 nucleotides (nt), and shared 24.0% to 58.9% nucleotide similarities with that of other Potyviridae viruses. The genome was deduced to encode a single open reading frame (polyprotein) on t...
