Molecular characterization of a distinct begomovirus infecting Allamanda cathartica in Guangdong, China

Molecular characterization of a distinct begomovirus infecting Allamanda cathartica in Guangdong,... Virus isolate G10 was obtained from diseased allamanda plants showing leaf curl symptoms in Guangdong, China. The full-length nucleotide sequence of a DNA-A-like molecule of G10 was cloned and sequenced; it comprises 2755 nucleotides and has a typical begomovirus genome organization with six conserved open reading frames. When compared with the DNA-A sequences of other begomoviruses, the complete nucleotide sequence of DNA-A of G10 had the highest sequence identity (81.2%) to tomato leaf curl Guangdong virus (ToLCGuV) isolate G2. This is less than the 89% identity in the complete genome that has been defined as the threshold value for demarcation of species in the genus Begomovirus . The molecular data show that isolate G10 from allamanda in Guangdong, China is a distinct Begomovirus species, for which the name Allamanda leaf curl virus (AlLCV) is proposed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Virology Springer Journals

Abstract

Virus isolate G10 was obtained from diseased allamanda plants showing leaf curl symptoms in Guangdong, China. The full-length nucleotide sequence of a DNA-A-like molecule of G10 was cloned and sequenced; it comprises 2755 nucleotides and has a typical begomovirus genome organization with six conserved open reading frames. When compared with the DNA-A sequences of other begomoviruses, the complete nucleotide sequence of DNA-A of G10 had the highest sequence identity (81.2%) to tomato leaf curl Guangdong virus (ToLCGuV) isolate G2. This is less than the 89% identity in the complete genome that has been defined as the threshold value for demarcation of species in the genus Begomovirus . The molecular data show that isolate G10 from allamanda in Guangdong, China is a distinct Begomovirus species, for which the name Allamanda leaf curl virus (AlLCV) is proposed.
