Figure 3.

Genome organization of a representative maize streak virus isolate from Nigeria (MSV‐Ns). The virion‐sense origin of replication is represented by a stem‐loop symbol. Open reading frames (ORFs) are depicted by arrows in the direction of transcription, with broken lines indicating differential splice events. Non‐coding genomic regions are shown with open boxes. ORFs are named according to whether they are encoded in the virion or complementary sense (they are assigned either a V or C, respectively). Functional names of proteins (in parentheses below the ORF name) and the names of non‐coding genomic regions are abbreviated as follows: CP, coat protein; LIR, long intergenic region; MP, movement protein; Rep, replication‐associated protein; SIR, short intergenic region.
