Excerpt
The viruses in the genus
Tobamovirus are distributed worldwide, infecting solanaceous, cucurbitaceous, and cruciferous plants and resulting in severe economic losses. The genus currently consists of 22 definitive and one tentative species [
3] which are further divided into three subgroups based on natural host range, genome organization, and phylogenetic clustering [
9]. The complete nucleotide sequences of numerous members of the genus
Tobamovirus have been reported, including those of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), tobacco mild green mosaic virus (TMGMV), turnip vein-clearing virus (TVCV), and pepper mild mottle virus (PMMV) [
