  abstract = {{T}he clock-like diversification of {R}ice yellow mottle virus ({RYMV}), a widespread {RNA} plant virus that infects rice in {A}frica, was tested following a three-step approach with (i) an exhaustive search of recombinants, (ii) a comprehensive assessment of the selective constraints over lineages, and (iii) a stepwise series of tests of the molecular clock hypothesis. {T}he first evidence of recombination in {RYMV} was found in {E}ast {A}frica, in the region most favorable to co-infection. {RYMV} evolved under a pronounced {P}urifying selection, but the selection pressure did vary among lineages. {T}here was no phylogenetic evidence of transient deleterious mutations. {ORF}2b, which codes for the polymerase and is the most constrained {ORF}, tends to diversify clock-like. {W}ith the other {ORF}s and the full genome, the departure from the strict clock model was limited. {T}his likely reflects the dominant conservative selection pressure and the clock-like fixation of synonymous mutations.},
