es with five families. The group consists of viruses which have
positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genomes. Their genetic material is protected by a special
coat protein.
Description
Tymoviruses are mainly plant pathogens first described in 2004.
They are characterised by similarities in their
replication-associated
polyproteins. These account for the majority of their
genomic coding capacity. They are considered to form a group,
phylogenetically, referred to as flexiviruses, with filamentous
virions
