| Abstract |
Plants of the species Gomphocarpus physocarpus, commonly known as balloon plant or swan plant, exhibiting virus-like symptoms of mosaic, mottle and crinkling were observed and collected in the southwestern part of Taiwan in 2015. Electron microscopic examination showed the presence of virus-like flexuous-rod particles. Potyvirus pinwheel-shape and laminated inclusion bodies were observed in the preparations of ultrathin sections of diseased leaves. The complete genome sequence of the potyvirus of balloon plant was determined. It is 9998 nucleotides in length, excluding the 3'-terminal poly(A) tail. It contains two open reading frames encoding a polyprotein of 3196 amino acids and a PIPO protein of 89 amino acids. The polyprotein gene shares 52.8-68.4% nucleotide sequence identity and 40.2-75.8% amino acid sequence identity with other potyviruses tested. Molecular analysis indicates that the virus is most closely related to but distinct from keunjorong mosaic virus (KjMV). The virus causing mosaic, mottle and crinkling on Gomphocarpus plants (gomphocarpus mosaic virus, GoMV) likely belongs to a new species of the genus Potyvirus. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 July 2018.
All research outputs
#20,527,576
of 23,096,849 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Virology
#3,421
of 4,217 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#286,370
of 326,948 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Virology
#53
of 74 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,096,849 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,217 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 326,948 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 74 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
