Citrus yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) is a double stranded rod shaped
DNA virus of genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae. It's complete
genome has been sequenced and characterized by Hang et al., (2001).
It comprises of six putative open reading frames and an intergenic
sequence all lying on the plus strand of DNA and each capable of
encoding proteins with a molecular mass of greater than 10 kDa. ORF
3, the largest ORF, encodes a putative polyprotein for functions
involved in virus movement, assembly and replication. The other
ORFs encode proteins whose exact functions are not completely
understood. The genome also contains a plant tRNAmet binding site,
which may serve as a primer for minus-strand DNA synthesis, in its
intergenic region.It is responsible for a significant loss in
Citrus crop in India
