Family: Malvaceae Weed host
Abutilon golden mosaic virus (AbGMV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Begomovirus Family: Geminiviridae
Geographical distribution
AbGMV infection in plants of Abutilon theophrasti was reported from Yucatan, Mexico (Torres-Herrera et al. unpublished - KC430935).
Symptoms and host(s)
The virus-infected velvetleaf plants exhibit bright yellow mosaic symptoms.
Transmission
The transmission of AbGMV has not been investigated. It is likely that, in common with other begomoviruses, the virus is transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in a circulative, non-propagative manner.
Virion properties and genome
The structure of the virions of AbGMV has not been investigated. In common with all geminiviruses, the virions of AbGMV are likely geminate (twinned icosahedra).
It is unclear at this time whether AbGMV is a bipartite Begomovirus, as is typical of the majority of begomoviruses native to the New World, or monopartite since only the sequence of a single genome/DNA-A...
