Abstract:
Konkoviridae is a family of negative-sense RNA viruses with genomes of 8.7-10.6 kb that have been associated with plants. Virions are filamentous in the shape of kinked circles. The konkovirus genome consists of three or four segments with three to six ORFs that encode a large protein (L) containing an RNA-directed RNA polymerase domain, a nucleoprotein, a putative cell-to-cell movement protein and additional one to three non-structural proteins of unknown function. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Konkoviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/konkoviridae.
