Abstract

When the presently classified viruses are grouped according to their genetic material (DNA, RNA, double-stranded, single-stranded, plus — or minus-type) we see (Table 1) that the majority of plant viruses has a genome consisting of single-stranded RNA of the plus polarity (virion RNA has the same polarity as mRNA). Within this group both the structural features (number of genome parts, structure present at the 5’ or the 3’ termini of the RNA) as well as the strategy of expression are extremely diverse (Table 2)2,3 (and references therein).
