Rose yellow vein virus (RYVV) is distinguishable from all other members of the Caulimoviridae by its unique genome organization, in having overlapping ORFs 1, 2 and 3, a very large genome and in its phylogenetic placement based upon analysis of polymerase gene sequences.
Virions of RYVV are icosahedral, 42–45 nm in diameter.
Petunia vein clearing virus (PVCV), a member of the sole species in the genus, Petuvirus venapetuniae, is distinguishable from all other members of the Caulimoviridae except for vacciniviruses by its simple genome organization (one ORF) and phylogenetic placement based upon analysis of polymerase gene sequences.
