    Abstract:
    Citrus tristeza virus (CTV, genus Closterovirus) is one of the most serious pathogens responsible for huge loss of citrus trees worldwide. Four Indian CTV isolates, Kat1 (C. reticulata/Central India), D1 (C. sinensis/North India), B5 (Citrus limettoides/South India) and G28 (C. lemon/Northeast India) collected from different regions of India were characterized based on sequencing of 3' half genome (~ 8.4 kb) comprising 10 open reading frames (ORFs2-11) and 3' UTR and the sequences were submitted to NCBI database as Acc. No KJ914662, HQ912022, HQ912023 and KJ914661, respectively. The present and previously reported Indian isolates Kpg3 and B165 were analyzed and compared with other Asian and international CTV isolates. The Indian CTV isolates had 92-99% nt identities among them. The phylogenetic analysis generated overall ten genogroups/lineages. Of them, all the Asian isolates fell into seven genogroups, whereas the Indian isolates into four. Indian isolates Kat1, D1 and Kpg3 grouped together, termed "Kpg3Gr", along with Florida severe isolate T3. The Indian isolates B5, and G28 were found to be two distinct and separate lineages, indicating that these isolates are two new CTV entities. Based on phylogenetic analysis, Kpg3Gr was identified as "Indian VT" subtype which is distinct from the Asian and the Western VT subtype within diversified VT genotype. The recombination detecting-program, RDP4 detected Indian isolates Kat1, B5, B165 and G28 as recombinants, where G28 as strong recombinant. The present study determined the occurrence of at least four CTV genotypes, B5 (distinct), B165 (T68 type) G28 (distinct) and Kpg3Gr in citrus growing regions of India.
