Complete genome sequence of a novel member of the genus Polerovirus from Cnidium officinale in South Korea

The complete genome sequence of a novel virus found infecting Cnidium officinale , which we have named "cnidium polerovirus 1" (CnPV1), is 6,090 nucleotides in length, similar to those of other poleroviruses. Seven open reading frames (ORF0–5 and ORF3a) were predicted in this genome. CnPV1 shares 32.4%–38.9% full-length nucleotide sequence identity with other known polerovirus genome sequences. The putative P0, P1-2, P3-5, P3, and P4 proteins share 11.3%–19.5%, 37.1%–49.8%, 26.7%–39.5%, 40.8%–49.7%, and 40.8%–49.7% amino acid sequence identity, respectively, with homologous inferred protein sequences from known poleroviruses. Phylogenetic analysis of P1-2 and P3 sequences places CnPV1 with other members of the genus Polerovirus , indicating that it should be classified in a new distinct species.
