Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) belongs to genus Cucumovirus. The Cucumovirus group contains three distinct members： CMV, Tomato aspermy virus (TAV), and Peanut stunt virus (PSV). The type member, CMV is the most widespread and most studied. CMV is isometric particles about 30 nm in diameter. The genome of CMV is divided into three RNAs. In addition, RNA extracted from virus particles contains a fourth RNA that is a subgenomic RNA generated from RNA3. RNA1 and RNA2 are each encapsidated in separate particles, whereas RNAs3 and 4 are coencapsidated in a third particle. Hence, inoculation by three particles, transmitted either mechanically or by the aphid vector, is required to infect plants.(중략)
