  Soymovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Caulimoviridae order Ortervirales. Plants serve as natural hosts. There are four species in this genus.
  
  ## Taxonomy
  
  The genus contains the following species:
  
  * Blueberry red ringspot virus
  * Cestrum yellow leaf curling virus
  * Peanut chlorotic streak virus
  * Soybean chlorotic mottle virus
  
  ## Structure
  
  Viruses in Soymovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=7 symmetry. The diameter is around 50 nm. Genomes are circular. The genome codes for 8 proteins.
  
  | Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic arrangement | Genomic segmentation |
  | - | - | - | - | - | - |
  | Soymovirus | Icosahedral | T=7 | Non-enveloped | Circular | Monopartite |
  
  ## Life cycle
  
  Viral replication is nuclear/cytoplasmic. Replication follows the dsDNA(RT) replication model. The method of transcription is dsDNA(RT) transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export, and tubule-guided viral movement. Plants serve as the natural host. The virus is transmitted via a vector (aphid insects). Transmission routes are mechanical.
