Excerpt
Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) is the type species of the genus
Ampelovirus (family
Closteroviridae) [
1]. It is an economically important virus that is known to only infect
Vitis spp
. and that has a negative impact on the wine and table grape industries worldwide. To date, there has been only one report that claims the complete nucleotide sequence of GLRaV-3, by Ling et al. in 2004 (isolate NY-1, AF037268) [
2]. In that report the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) was found to be 158 nt in length. Here we report that the sequence of GLRaV-3, isolate GP18
1, has a 5′UTR of 737 nt. This extended UTR was found in all other South African isolates of GLRaV-3 that were analysed. …
