The incidence of tomato-infecting begomoviruses has sharply increased in Brazil following the introduction of the B biotype
of the whitefly vector in the early 1990s. Five definitive species and six tentative species have been described since then.
Here, we report the detection of members of an additional six novel species, three in tomato and three infecting weeds that
are commonly associated with tomato fields: Blainvillea rhomboidea, Sida rhombifolia and Sida micrantha. Tomato and weed samples were collected in two major tomato-growing regions of southeastern Brazil in 2005 and 2007. Two
of the novel viruses were present in tomato plants collected in Paty do Alferes, Rio de Janeiro state. Three novel viruses
were present in weed samples collected in Coimbra, Minas Gerais state. One virus was present in tomato samples collected at
both locations. Genome features indicate that all six species are typical New World, bipartite begomoviruses. However, the
viruses belonging to two of the novel species did not cluster with the Brazilian viruses in a phylogenetic tree. These species
could represent a distinct lineage of New World begomoviruses, found in Brazil for the first time.

A begomovirus causing mottling and leaf deformation in tomato from the State of Mérida was cloned and sequenced. The virus has a bipartite genome comprised of a DNA-A (2,572 nucleotides) and a DNA-B (2,543 nucleotides) with a genome organization typical of New World begomoviruses. Both components share a common region of 115 nucleotides with 98 % sequence identity. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that while no virus sequences were closely related, the A component was distantly related to those of two other tomato-infecting viruses, tomato leaf deformation virus and Merremia mosaic virus; and the DNA-B, to those of pepper huasteco yellow vein virus and Rhynchosia golden mosaic Yucatan virus. The DNA-A and DNA-B sequences were submitted to GenBank (accession no. AY508993 and AY508994, respectively) and later accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses as the genome of a member of a unique virus species with the name Tomato yellow margin leaf curl virus (TYMLCV). Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. ‘Fl. Lanai’) plants inoculated with cloned TYMLCV DNA-A and DNA-B became systemically infected and showed chlorotic margins and leaf curling. The distribution of TYMLCV in tomato-producing states in Venezuela was determined by nucleic acid spot hybridization analysis of 334 tomato leaf samples collected from ten states using a TYMLCV-specific probe and confirmed by PCR and sequencing of the PCR fragment. TYMLCV was detected in samples from the states of Aragua, Guárico, and Mérida, suggesting that TYMLCV is widely distributed in Venezuela. 相似文献

Nucleotide (nt) sequencing has contributed to the identification of virus species and has also proved diagnostically useful
in the control of tomato-infecting begomoviruses disease. We determined the complete nt sequences of the DNA-A genome and
its cognate DNAβ satellite molecules in isolates of Tobacco leaf curl Japan virus, Honeysuckle yellow vein mosaic virus, Eupatorium yellow vein virus in Japan. Pairwise comparison analyses based on the nt sequences of DNA-A from the genetic group of these viruses tentatively
named as TbLCJV, HYVMV and EpYVV (TbJV/HYV/EpV) revealed that this group had a significance threshold of 84 % identity. Phylogenetic
relationship analyses of the nt sequences of DNA-A and DNAβ revealed that their isolates were separated into a discrete Far
East Asian clade, distinct from all other begomoviruses. This clade was divided into two distinct clusters comprising the
subgroups TbJV/HYV and EpV. Furthermore, recombination analysis revealed that members of the TbJV/HYV/EpV group had the genetic
variation indicative of many recombination events. Our study demonstrates that this group forms a unique species complex,
but that members have discrete lineages depending on their natural perennial host plants.

Summary. Tomato-infecting begomoviruses have been reported throughout Brazil since the introduction of the B biotype of Bemisia tabaci. Here, we report a large scale survey on the distribution and genetic diversity of tomato-infecting begomoviruses. Tomato
samples with typical begomovirus symptoms were collected in seven different states, comprising the major tomato growing areas
of the country. Viruses were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using universal primers for the genus Begomovirus. PCR-amplified fragments were cloned and sequenced. Based on sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analyses, at least seven
previously undescribed species of begomoviruses were found. Four of the new viruses were found exclusively in the Southeastern
states, two exclusively in the Northeastern states, and one was found in both regions. Sequence comparisons reveal strong
evidence of recombination among the Brazilian begomoviruses. Together, the results indicate the existence of a high degree
of pre-existing genetic diversity among tomato-infecting begomoviruses in Brazil and suggest that these viruses have emerged
after being transferred from natural hosts to tomatoes, due to the introduction into Brazil of a novel polyfagous biotype
of the whitefly vector.

Cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) are implicated in cassava mosaic disease (CMD), the main constraint to cassava production in Africa. Here, we report the complete nucleotide sequences of the DNA-A and DNA-B of a newly characterized CMG found infecting cassava in Madagascar, for which we propose the tentative name cassava mosaic Madagascar virus. With the exception of two recombinant regions that resembled a CMG, we determined that the non-recombinant part of the DNA-A component is distantly related to the other CMGs. Whereas the DNA-B component possesses one recombinant region originating from an unidentified virus, the rest of the genome was seen to be closely related to members of the species East African cassava mosaic Zanzibar virus (EACMZV). Phylogenetic analysis based on complete genome sequences demonstrated that DNA-A and DNA-B components are outliers related to the clade of EACMV-like viruses and that DNA-A is related to the monopartite tomato leaf curl begomoviruses described in islands in the south-west Indian Ocean. 相似文献

Summary. Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) causing viruses belong to the Begomovirus genus of the family Geminiviridae. Most begomoviruses are bipartite with two molecules of circular single stranded DNA (A and B) encapsidated in icosahedral geminate particles. However, the begomoviruses associated with CLCuD have DNA- instead of DNA-B. In this communication we report the complete genomic sequence of DNA-A component of two CLCuD-causing begomoviruses, cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus-Dabawali (CLCuKV-Dab), tomato leaf curl Bangalore virus-Cotton [Fatehabad] (ToLCBV-Cotton [Fat]) and partial sequences of two other isolates cotton leaf curl Rajasthan virus-Bangalore (CLCuRV-Ban) and cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus-Ganganagar (CLCuKV-Gang). A phylogenetic analysis of these isolates along with other related begomoviruses showed that ToLCBV-Cotton [Fat] isolate was closest to the tomato leaf curl Bangalore virus-5 (ToLCBV-Ban5) where as CLCuKV-Dab isolate was close to the cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus-Faisalabad1 (CLCuKV-Fai1), cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus-72b (CLCuKV-72b) and cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus-806b (CLCuKV-806b) isolates from Pakistan. The phylogenetic analysis further showed that the ToLCBV-Cotton [Fat] and CLCuKV-Dab isolates along with CLCuKV-Fai1, CLCuKV-72b and CLCuKV-806b are closer to the ToLCBV, tomato leaf curl Gujarat virus (ToLCGV), tomato leaf curl Gujarat virus-Varanasi (ToLCGV-Var) and tomato leaf curl Sri Lanka virus (ToLCSLV) isolates, where as cotton leaf curl Alabad virus-804a (CLCuAV-804a), cotton leaf curl Multhan virus (CLCuMV) cluster with the isolates from cotton leaf curl Rajasthan virus (CLCuRV) and okra yellow vein mosaic virus (OYVMV). These results demonstrate the extensive variability observed in this group of viruses. The AC4 ORF is the least conserved among these viruses. In order to further asses the variability in the CLCuD-causing begomoviruses, the region showing minimum similarity in the DNA-A sequence was first determined by a comparison of segments of different lengths of the aligned sequences. The results indicated that region 2411–424 (771nt) was the least conserved. A phylogenetic tree constructed using the sequences of all the CLCuD causing begomoviruses, corresponding to the least conserved region showed that they form two distinct clusters. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequences of begomoviruses from pepper with leaf curl and yellowing symptoms, tomato with leaf curl
symptoms, and ageratum with yellow vein in Indonesia were determined. On the basis of genome organization and sequence homology,
they were proposed to belong to a new species, Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus (PepYLCIV), which includes the new
strains PepYLCIV-Tomato and PepYLCIV-Ageratum. These viruses had bipartite genomes. Pepper virus DNAs from Indonesia (PepYLCIV,
PepYLCIV-Tomato and PepYLCIV-Ageratum DNA-As) were noticeably distinct, forming a separate branch from the viruses infecting
pepper. Considerable divergence was observed in the common region (CR) of the genomic components of PepYLCIV (77%), PepYLCIV-Tomato
(82%) and PeYLCIV-Ageratum (75%). A stem-loop-forming region and a Rep-binding motif were identical in the CR of the three
viruses. The CRs of PepYLCIV-Ageratum DNA-A was approximately 10 nucleotides longer than that of PepYLCIV DNA-A and PepYLCIV-Tomato
DNA-A. A similar insertion was also found in the CR of PepYLCIV-Ageratum DNA-B. PepYLCIV DNA-A alone was infectious in pepper
and Nicotiana benthamiana plants, and association with DNA-B increased symptom severity. 相似文献

Summary. Diseases caused by begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae, genus Begomovirus) constitute a serious constraint to tomato production in Nicaragua. In this study, the complete nucleotide (nt) sequences of the DNA-A and DNA-B components were determined for the first time for Tomato leaf curl Sinaloa virus (ToLCSinV). In addition, the complete nt sequence was determined for the DNA-A component of two isolates of Tomato severe leaf curl virus (ToSLCV). The genome organization of ToLCSinV and ToSLCV was identical to the bipartite genomes of other begomoviruses described from the Americas. A phylogenetic analysis of DNA-A including 45 begomovirus species showed that the indigenous begomoviruses of the New World can be divided into three major clades and an intermediate group: AbMV clade, SLCV clade, “Brazil clade”, and BGYMV group. Phylogenetic analyses of the DNA-A and DNA-B components and their open reading frames indicated that ToLCSinV and ToSLCV belong to different clades: ToLCSinV to the AbMV clade, and ToSLCV to the SLCV clade. The two Nicaraguan isolates of ToSLCV showed a close relationship with ToSLCV from Guatemala (ToSLCV-[GT96-1]) and Tomato chino La Paz virus (ToChLPV), but differed significantly in the AV1 and AC1 regions, respectively. Computer-based predictions indicated that recombination with another begomovirus had taken place within AV1 of ToSLCV dividing this species into two strains. A high probability was also found that ToChLPV is involved in the evolution of ToSLCV. 相似文献

Tomato yellow leaf curl (TYLC) and tomato leaf curl (ToLC) diseases are serious constraints to tomato production in Mali and
other countries in West Africa. In 2003 and 2004, samples of tomato showing virus-like symptoms were collected during a survey
of tomato virus diseases in Mali. Three predominant symptom phenotypes were observed: (1) TYLC/ToLC (stunted upright growth
and upcurled leaves with interveinal yellowing and vein purpling), (2) yellow leaf crumple and (3) broccoli or bonsai (severe
stunting and distorted growth). Squash blot (SB) hybridization with a general begomovirus probe and/or SB/PCR analyses revealed
begomovirus infection in plants with each of these symptom phenotypes and no evidence of phytoplasma infection. Sequence analysis
of PCR-amplified begomovirus fragments revealed two putative new begomovirus species associated with the TYLC/ToLC and yellow
leaf crumple symptom phenotypes, respectively. Full-length clones of these begomoviruses were obtained using PCR and overlapping
primers. When introduced into N. benthamiana and tomato plants, these clones induced upward leaf curling and crumpling (the TYLC/ToLC-associated begomovirus) or downward
leaf curl/yellow mottle (yellow leaf crumple-associated begomovirus) symptoms. Thus, these begomoviruses were named tomato
leaf curl Mali virus (ToLCMLV) and tomato yellow leaf crumple virus (ToYLCrV). The genome organization of both viruses was
similar to those of other monopartite begomoviruses. ToLCMLV and ToYLCrV were most closely related to each other and to tobacco
leaf curl Zimbabwe virus (TbLCZV-[ZW]) and tomato curly stunt virus from South Africa (ToCSV-ZA). Thus, these likely represent
tomato-infecting begomoviruses that evolved from indigenous begomoviruses on the African continent. Mixed infections of ToLCMLV
and ToYLCrV in N. benthamiana and tomato plants resulted in more severe symptoms than in plants infected with either virus alone, suggesting a synergistic
interaction. Agroinoculation experiments indicated that both viruses induced symptomatic infections in tomato and tobacco,
whereas neither virus induced disease symptoms in pepper, common bean, small sugar pumpkin, African eggplant, or Arabidopsis. Virus-specific PCR primers were developed for detection of ToLCMLV and ToYLCrV and will be used to further investigate the
distribution and host range of these viruses. 相似文献

A distinct bipartite begomovirus was found associated with tomato plants showing yellowing, curling, and crumpling of the
leaves, in a sub-temperate region in India. The complete DNA-A and DNA-B components were amplified through rolling circle
amplification (RCA) using Φ-29 DNA polymerase and characterized. The DNA-A of the isolate was comprised of 2,756 nucleotides,
encoding six open reading frames (ORFs) and DNA-B that of 2,725 nucleotides, encoding two ORFs. Genome organization of the
isolate was typical of an old world bipartite begomovirus. Comparisons showed that DNA-A and its intergenic region (IR) have
the highest sequence identity (86% and 84%, respectively) with the Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV; DQ116885) and some other begomoviruses (>84%) reported from cucurbits and tomato. This data suggested that the
isolate is a distinct begomovirus species for which a name Tomato leaf curl Palampur virus (ToLCPMV) is proposed. DNA-B showed the maximum sequence identity (73%) with Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus-India-[Pakistan:Dargai:T5/6:2001] (AY150305). The common region (CR) of DNA-A and DNA-B showed 94% sequence similarity with
each other. In the present study, phylogenetic relationship of this new species was also established with different begomoviruses
reported from tomato and other begomoviruses showing highest homologies with complete DNA-A and DNA-B sequences. ToLCPMV is
being reported from a sub-temperate region in India which was previously unaffected by begomoviruses and its whitefly vector.

The population diversity of Bangladeshi begomoviruses and their vector, Bemisia tabaci was analysed by PCR-based detection and partial genome sequencing. B. tabaci adults and plants expressing symptoms of virus infection were collected from locations representing diverse agro-ecological
regions of the country. Universal and species-specific primers were used to detect begomoviruses in seven crops (chilli, okra,
papaya, pumpkin, sponge gourd, tomato and yardlong bean) and two common weeds (Ageratum conyzoides and Croton bonplandianum). At least five distinct species of tomato leaf curl viruses infected tomato and other host-plants. Phylogenetic analyses
of their nucleotide sequences (∼530 bases) from the intergenic region and capsid protein of DNA-A indicated the existence
of five distinct clusters of begomoviruses. Begomoviruses infecting tomato, chilli and dolichos have been reported previously,
and those infecting Ageratum, Croton, okra, papaya, pumpkin and yardlong bean are described for the first time. Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial cytochrome
oxidase I gene sequences of 21 B. tabaci from Bangladesh and other reference sequences grouped them into at least two independent clusters. Some sequences from different
countries, e.g., Bangladesh, China, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Thailand were almost identical while others collected from
plants within the same field diverged by as much as 15%, indicating high diversity even at the local level. None of the B. tabaci from Bangladesh grouped with the reference B- and Q-biotype sequences, thus these two aggressive biotypes were apparently
absent from Bangladesh. 相似文献

The genomes of two tomato-infecting begomoviruses from Vietnam were cloned and sequenced. A new variant of Tomato leaf curl Vietnam virus (ToLCVV) consisting of a DNA-A component and associated with a DNAbeta molecule as well as an additional begomovirus tentatively named Tomato yellow leaf curl Vietnam virus (TYLCVV) consisting also of a DNA-A component were identified. To verify if monopartite viruses occurring in Vietnam and Thailand are able to transreplicate the DNA-B component of Tomato yellow leaf curl Thailand virus-[Asian Institute of Technology] (TYLCTHV-[AIT]) infectivity assays were performed via agroinoculation and mechanically. As result, the DNA-B component of TYLCTHV-[AIT] was transreplicated by different DNA-A components of viruses from Vietnam and Thailand in Nicotiana benthamiana and Solanum lycopersicum. Moreover, the TYLCTHV-[AIT] DNA-B component facilitated the mechanical transmission of monopartite viruses by rub-inoculation as well as by particle bombardment in N. benthamiana and tomato plants. Finally, defective DNAs ranging from 735 to 1457 nucleotides were generated in N. benthamiana from those combinations containing TYLCTHV-[AIT] DNA-B component. 相似文献

Diseases caused by begomoviruses are a serious constraint to crop production in many tropical and subtropical areas of the
world, including Brazil. Begomoviruses are whitefly-transmitted, single-stranded DNA viruses that are often associated with
weed plants, which may act as natural reservoirs of viruses that cause epidemics in crop plants. Cleome affinis (family Capparaceae) is an annual weed that is frequently associated with leguminous crops in Brazil. Samples of C. affinis were collected in four states in the northeast of Brazil. Analysis of 14 full-length DNA-A components revealed that only
one begomovirus was present, with 91-96% identity to cleome leaf crumple virus (ClLCrV). In a phylogenetic tree, ClLCrV forms
a basal group relative to all other Brazilian begomoviruses. Evidence of multiple recombination events was detected among
the ClLCrV isolates, which also display a high degree of genetic variability. Despite ClLCrV being the only begomovirus found,
its phylogenetic placement, high genetic variability and recombinant nature suggest that C. affinis may act as a source of novel viruses for crop plants. Alternatively, ClLCrV could be a genetically isolated begomovirus.
Further studies on the biological properties of ClLCrV should help to clarify the role of C. affinis in the epidemiological scenario of Brazilian begomoviruses. 相似文献

Tomato leaf curl viruses cause major crop loss hindering tomato cultivation worldwide. The ‘Old World’ begomoviruses are often associated with circular ssDNA satellite molecules called betasatellites. In the present study, replication compatibility of five different betasatellites with three distinct Indian tomato-infecting begomoviruses representing each of a monopartite, a mono-bipartite and a bipartite begomoviruses was studied. All the betasatellites could be trans-replicated by the begomoviruses in Nicotiana benthamiana plants, however, not uniformly in tomato. Tomato leaf curl Joydebpur betasatellite—Magrahat could not induce symptom with any of these begomoviruses in tomato, whereas only Tomato leaf curl Gujarat virus could trans-replicate Radish leaf curl betasatellite in this plant species. However, none of the betasatellites were found to complement the movement function of a bipartite begomovirus in tomato. Unlike tomato, the trans-replication/maintenance of betasatellites by these begomoviruses in N. benthamiana could be due to its compromised host defence machinery. Co-infection of betasatellites with these viruses did not enhance the helper virus accumulation, but the incubation period was reduced. The possible factors involved in this host-driven adaptability of betasatellites were also discussed. 相似文献

As a result of surveys of okra begomoviruses (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) conducted over the last five years in Central Brazil, we report the complete genome sequence of an isolate of okra mottle virus (OMoV). The DNA-A and DNA-B components were 2660 and 2653 nucleotides (nt) long, respectively, and they were most closely related to the DNA-A (~99 % nt identity) and DNA-B (~98 % nt identity) components of an OMoV isolate from a soybean plant. A phylogenetic tree was generated based on these sequences, and it was shown that both of the OMoV DNA components were grouped in a branch with Brazilian begomoviruses known to infect weeds. By recombination analysis, strong evidence was observed that the OMoV genome may have been the product of a double inter-species recombination event. 相似文献

We report the complete nucleotide sequence of a begomovirus isolate infecting Euphorbia heterophylla and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) in central Venezuela. Based on the current taxonomic criteria for the genus Begomovirus, the isolate was shown to represent a novel species, tentatively named Euphorbia mosaic Venezuela virus (EuMVV). Its DNA-A
is most closely related to those of Euphorbia-infecting begomoviruses from the Caribbean and Central America. The DNA B component forms a phylogenetic cluster with Euphorbia and Sida-infecting begomoviruses from the squash leaf curl virus (SLCV) cluster. EuMVV is transmissible to S. lycopersicum and Capsicum annuum by biolistics of infectious cloned DNA-A and DNA-B components and induces characteristic leaf downward curling and yellowing
in S. lycopersicum and and yellowing and leaf distortion in Capsicum annuum. 相似文献

Two distinct full-length begomovirus DNA-A components and a DNA-B component were PCR amplified, cloned and sequenced from
Jamaican Malvastrum americanum plants exhibiting yellow mosaic symptoms. Whereas one of the DNA-A components is from a potentially new species that we have
tentatively named Malvastrum yellow mosaic Helshire virus (MaYMHV), the other DNA-A and the DNA-B form a cognate pair and
represent a new virus species tentatively named Malvastrum yellow mosaic Jamaica virus (MaYMJV). The MaYMJV genome components
together infected M. americanum and produced yellow mosaic symptoms similar to those seen in naturally infected plants. Both the MaYMJV and MaYMHV DNA-A
components are typical of those of bipartite begomoviruses from the Western Hemisphere. The DNA-As of MaYMJV and MaYMHV are
most closely related to each other (sharing 84% sequence identity) and cluster phylogenetically with begomoviruses found infecting
malvaceous weeds in Cuba and Florida. The DNA-B component of MaYMJV is most similar to that of Sida golden mosaic virus-[USA:Florida]
(SiGMV-[US:Flo]) and Sida golden mosaic Costa Rica virus-[Costa Rica] (SiGMCRV-[CR]). As with many other geminivirus species,
the genomes of MaYMJV and MaYMHV bear traces of inter-species recombination. 相似文献

A novel begomovirus isolated from a Sida rhombifolia plant collected in Sinaloa, Mexico, was characterized. The genomic components of sida mosaic Sinaloa virus (SiMSinV) shared highest sequence identity with DNA-A and DNA-B components of chino del tomate virus (CdTV), suggesting a vertical evolutionary relationship between these viruses. However, recombination analysis indicated that a short segment of SiMSinV DNA-A encompassing the plus-strand replication origin and the 5´-proximal 43 codons of the Rep gene was derived from tomato mottle Taino virus (ToMoTV). Accordingly, the putative cis- and trans-acting replication specificity determinants of SiMSinV were identical to those of ToMoTV but differed from those of CdTV. Modeling of the SiMSinV and CdTV Rep proteins revealed significant differences in the region comprising the small β1/β5 sheet element, where five putative DNA-binding specificity determinants (SPDs) of Rep (i.e., amino acid residues 5, 8, 10, 69 and 71) were previously identified. Computer-assisted searches of public databases led to identification of 33 begomoviruses from three continents encoding proteins with SPDs identical to those of the Rep encoded by SiMSinV. Sequence analysis of the replication origins demonstrated that all 33 begomoviruses harbor potential Rep-binding sites identical to those of SiMSinV. These data support the hypothesis that the Rep β1/β5 sheet region determines specificity of this protein for DNA replication origin sequences. 相似文献

Begomovirus infection is becoming a threat in fresh-market tomato in Argentina, where mixed infections with begomoviruses are common. The complete sequence of a begomovirus isolate infecting tomato sampled in Salta was molecularly characterized. Phylogenetic analysis showed that this virus isolate is closely related to previously reported Brazilian, Bolivian and Argentinean begomoviruses. The associated symptoms in Nicotiana benthamiana and Solanum lycopersicum were determined by biolistic delivery of infectious DNA-A and DNA-B clones. This begomovirus isolate induced leaf mottling, rugosity and dwarfing, and growth retardation in tomato. Based on these symptoms, we propose the name of tomato dwarf leaf virus (ToDLV) for this new begomovirus. 相似文献

Virus isolate T217L was obtained from a diseased tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plant showing leaf deformation and chlorotic mottle symptoms near Maracaibo in the state of Zulia, Venezuela. Full-length
DNA-A and DNA-B molecules of T217L were cloned and sequenced. The genome organization of T217L was identical to the bipartite
genomes of other begomoviruses described from the Americas. Characteristic disease symptoms were reproduced in S. lycopersicum and Capsicum annum plants inoculated using the cloned viral DNA-A and DNA-B components, confirming disease aetiology. A sequence analysis of
DNA-A showed that the T217L isolate has the highest sequence identity (84%) with sida yellow mosaic Yucatan virus (SiYMYuV),
sida golden mosaic Honduras virus (SiGMHV) and bean dwarf mosaic virus (BDMV) isolates. This is less than the 89% identity
in the DNA-A component that has been defined as the threshold value for the demarcation of species in the genus Begomovirus. The molecular data show that isolate T217L belongs to a novel tentative begomovirus species, for which the name tomato chlorotic
leaf distortion virus is proposed. TCLDV was also detected in symptomatic C. chinense plants growing near the T217L-infected plant. 相似文献
