Classification

This is a description of a plant virus at the species level.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.032.0.01.002. Virus accession number: 32001002. Obsolete virus code: 32.0.1.0.002; superceded accession number: 32010002.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

ICTV approved acronym: ALBV. Virus is an ICTV approved species of the genus 00.032.0.01. Hordeivirus; not assigned to a family.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid. Virus capsid is not enveloped. Capsid/nucleocapsid is elongated with helical symmetry. Virus preparations contain more than one particle component. The capsid is rod-shaped, straight with clear predominate lengths with a length of 167 nm; 142 nm; 124 nm and a width of 22 nm.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is segmented; tripartite, segements are distribute among 3 particle types of different size of linear, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA is fully sequenced.

Proteins

The viral genome encodes structural proteins and non-structural proteins.

Lipids

Lipids are not reported.

Antigenicity

The virus is serologically related to barley stripe mosaic virus.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Domain Eucarya
Kingdom Plantae.

Kingdom Plantae
Phylum Magnoliophyta (Angiosperms, Class Liliopsida (Monocotyledonae).

Severity and Occurrence of Disease

Host: Signs and symptoms persist.

Transmission and Vector Relationships

Virus is transmitted by mechanical inoculation.

Experimental Hosts and Symptoms

Under experimental conditions susceptibility to infection by virus is found in few families. Susceptible host species are found in the Family Chenopodiaceae, Gramineae. The following species were susceptible to experimental virus infection: Anthoxanthum odoratum, Avena sativa, Chenopodium amaranticolor, Chenopodium quinoa, Hordeum vulgare, Lagurus ovatus, Zea mays.

Experimentally infected insusceptible Hosts: Families containing insusceptible hosts: Chenopodiaceae, Gramineae. Species inoculated with virus that do not show signs of susceptibility: Beta vulgaris, Dactylis glomerata, Festuca elatior, Lolium perenne, Triticum aestivum.

Diagnostic Hosts

Diagnostic host species and symptoms:

Anthoxanthum odoratum — inconspicuous chlorotic leaf stripes in some plants.

Avena sativa, Hordeum vulgare — symptomless systemic infection.

Chenopodium amaranticolor, C. quinoa — local lesions; no systemic infection.

Lagurus ovatus — inconspicuous leaf chlorosis, soon followed by wilting and death of leaves.

Zea mays — brown streaks in systemically infected leaves. Diagnostic host: insusceptible host species Beta vulgaris, Dactylis glomerata, Festuca elatior, Lolium perenne, Triticum aestivum.

Maintenance and Propagation Hosts

Most commonly used maintenance and propagation host species are Anthoxanthum odoratum.

Assay Hosts

Host: Assay hosts (for Local lesions or Whole plants):
Anthoxanthum odoratum (W).

Histopathology: Virus can be best detected in leaves. Virions are found in the cytoplasm (in aggregates).

Geographical Distribution

The virus spreads in Eurasia. The virus occurs in the United Kingdom (Wales and England).
