Title: Identification and molecular characterization of a new potyvirus infecting Triteleia species. Author: Miglino R, Druffel KL, Pappu HR. Journal: Arch Virol; 2010 Mar; 155(3):441-3. PubMed ID: 20165891. Abstract: Plants of Triteleia hyacinthina, Triteleia ixioides Starlight, and Triteleia laxa Corina with severe mosaic and yellow vein-banding were found to be infected with a potyvirus. The 3'-terminal region of the virus was amplified by RT-PCR from total RNA using a potyvirus-specific degenerate primer (poty5P: 5' GGN AAY AAY AGY GGN CAR CC 3') and an oligo-dTprimer. The sequence generated included the 3'-NIb protein coding region (680 nucleotides), the entire coat protein coding region (840 nucleotides), and 3'-untranslated region (UTR) (253 nucleotides). Amino acid identity of the whole CP between the triteleia virus and potyvirus member ranged from 54% Apium virus Y (ApVY) to 67% Auraujia mosaic virus (ArjMV) and Twisted-stalk chlorotic streak virus (TSCSV) and the core ranged from 59% (ApVY) to 75% (ArjMV). The 3-UTR showed no significant homology with other known potyviruses. Phylogenetic relationships suggest this triteleia virus is a new member of the Potyvirus genus and the name of "Triteleia mosaic virus" (TriMV) is proposed. This is the first report of a potyvirus infecting triteleia.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
