Abstract

We report the coding-complete genome sequence of Japanese apricot pollen-associated secovirus 1 (JAPSV1), a virus belonging to the Secoviridae family, recovered from Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) pollen that is closely related to Peach leaf pitting-associated virus (PLPAV). This discovery adds to the number of known pollen-associated viruses.
