Red clover necrotic mosaic virus (RCNMV) is a species that belongs to the Tombusviridae family of plant viruses with a T = 3 icosahedral capsid. RCNMV virions were purified and were crystallized for X‐ray analysis using the hanging‐drop vapor‐diffusion method. Self‐rotation functions and systematic absences identified the space group as I 23, with two virions in the unit cell. The crystals diffracted to better than 4 Å resolution but were very radiation‐sensitive, causing rapid decay of the high‐resolution reflections. The data were processed to 6 Å in the analysis presented here.
