The Strange Lifestyle of Multipartite Viruses
Fig 1
Schematic representation of the genome formula of Faba bean necrotic stunt virus (FBNSV) in two different host plant species.
The genome formulae presented are in Vicia faba (A) and Medicago truncatula (B). The relative frequencies of the eight FBNSV segments have been calculated in within-host viral populations. The rounded median copy number of each segment is represented relative to the less abundant segment, here arbitrarily set to one. The core genome corresponds to the classical conception of a viral genome (rectangle). Adapted from reference [50].
