Tymovirales is an order of viruses with five families. The group consists of viruses which have positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genomes. Their genetic material is protected by a special coat protein.
Description
Tymoviruses are mainly plant pathogens first described in 2004.{{cite journal |vauthors=Adams MJ, Antinow JF, Bar-Joseph M, Brunt AA, Candresse T, Foster GD, Martelli GP, Milne RG, Fauquet CM |date=2004 |title=The new plant family Flexiviridae and assessment of molecular criteria for species demarcation |journal=Arch Virol |volume=149 |issue=5 |pages=1045–60 |pmid=15098118 |doi=10.1007/s00705-004-0304-0|s2cid=34493607 |doi-access=free }} They are characterised by similarities in their replication-associated polyproteins. These account for the majority of their genomic coding capacity. They are considered to form a group, phylogenetically, referred to as flexiviruses, with filamentous virions.{{sfn|King|2012}}
