Polerovirus
Polerovirus is a genus of plant-infecting, positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses in the family Solemoviridae. Members of this genus are phloem-limited and are primarily transmitted to plants by aphid vectors in a persistent, circulative manner. Poleroviruses are responsible for several economically important crop diseases, including yellowing, stunting, and yield losses.
Taxonomy and classification are based on genome organization, serology, and vector relationships. The genus includes a
Genome and replication are typical of poleroviruses: small, positive-sense RNA genomes that encode replication-associated proteins, a
Diagnosis relies on molecular methods such as RT-PCR and serological assays, as well as observation of characteristic
