Ribgrass mosaic virus

Ribgrass mosaic virus (RMV) is a species of Tobamovirus.[1] It is an RNA-containing virus with rod-shape particles. It can be found in many wild plant species. This virus does not itself produce serious epidemic diseases, but it served as the inciting pathogen of a necrotic virus disease in burly tobacco.[2][3]
