Abstract
A novel virus named Aconitum amalgavirus 1 (AcoAV-1) was identified in Chinese aconite (Aconitum carmichaelii) plants. The complete genome of AcoAV-1 is 3,370 nucleotides long, containing two partially overlapping open reading frames encoding a putative coat protein and a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, respectively. Its fusion protein shares 34.9%-50.7% amino acid sequence identity with other amalgaviruses. Phylogenetic analysis showed that this virus formed a clade with blueberry latent virus and four other related viruses, suggesting that it belongs to the genus Amalgavirus in the family Amalgaviridae.
