Abstract

Hydrangea ringspot virus (HdRSV) is a plant RNA virus, naturally infectingHydrangea macrophylla Here, we report the first genomic sequences of two HdRSV isolates from hydrangea plants in Japan. The overall nucleotide sequences of these Japanese isolates were 96.0 to 96.3% identical to those of known European isolates.
