This fifth volume in the series The Plant Viruses, dealing with
viruses with bipartite genomes, completes the coverage of viruses
with isometric parti cles and genomes consisting of
single-stranded, positive-sense RNA: viruses that have tripartite
and monopartite genomes of this kind were dealt with in Volumes 1
and 3, respectively. How close are the affinities among the viruses
within the groupings distinguished in this way? All those with
tripartite genomes are considered to be sufficiently closely
related to be included in the family Bromoviridae, whereas the
monopartite-genome viruses covered in Volume 3 clearly are a much
more diverse collection. Affinities among the viruses with
bipartite genomes are considered in Chapter 1 of this volume, along
with the possible origins, advantages, and disadvantages of these
ge nomes. The conclusion reached from this assessment is that the
bipartite genome viruses fall into four categories, those within
each category having closer affinities with viruses not included in
this book than with viruses in the other categories. No evidence
was found that possession of a bipartite genome gives a virus
overwhelming advantages over viruses of other sorts. More probably,
any advantages are largely balanced by disadvantages, and bipartite
genomes may be best considered simply as an alternative design for
the hereditary material of a virus."
