ABSTRACT
The complete genomic sequence of a novel robigovirus, provisionally named "Mentha arvensis robigovirus 1" (MARV1), was determined by combining next-generation sequencing (NGS), reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR. The complete genomic sequence of this new virus is 7617 nucleotides in length, excluding the 3' poly(A) tail. The MARV1 genome encodes a putative replicase, "triple gene block" proteins, and a coat protein. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that MARV1 is a member of the genus Robigovirus, with closest relationships to African oil palm ringspot virus (AOPRV). Furthermore, MARV1-derived small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) showed typical patterns of plant-virus-derived siRNAs produced by the host antiviral RNA interference pathway. This is the first report of a plant virus of the genus Robigovirus in M. arvensis.
