Cheravirus
Encyclopedia
The Cheravirus refers to a genus of a plant virus
in the family Secoviridae
and order Picornavirales
. Virus consists of a non-enveloped capsid with isometric
, icosahedral symmetry. The viral gene is two segments of positive sense, single stranded RNA
of about 10,000 nucleotides in length..
Two well known species in this genus includes:
Plant virus
Plant viruses are viruses that affect plants. Like all other viruses, plant viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that do not have the molecular machinery to replicate without a host. Plant viruses are pathogenic to higher plants...
