Characterization of a novel begomovirus associated with yellow mosaic disease of three ornamental species of Jatropha grown in India

Identification of a novel monopartite begomovirus associated with leaf curl disease of Citharexylum spinosum in India

“…and contained two open reading frames (ORFs) (V1 and V2) in the viral strand and four ORFs in the complementary strand (C1-C4), resembling the typical genome organization of Old World begomoviruses [10]. Besides, two small non-canonical ORFs (C5 and C6), similar to the ones detected in a few begomoviruses [6, 13,14], were determined in the viral complementary strand. The 302 nt-long intergenic region (IR) contained two copies of the replication-associated protein (Rep)-binding iteron sequence "GGWCYC" (the corresponding iteron-associated domain in Rep is MPPKRFLIN), identical to tomato leaf curl Kerala virus (ToLCKeV) [11].…”

The Current Status of New Emerging Begomovirus Diseases on Jatropha Species from India

“…Based on 61% sequence identities (less than 89%) the species demarcation criteria ICTV for a new begomovirus the isolates under study (J. integerrima, J. podagrica and J. multifida) were identified as members of a new begomovirus species and name proposed as "Jatropha mosaic Lucknow virus (JMLV)" [30].…”

“…Identification and Characterization of Jatropha mosaic Lucknow virus (JMLV) associated with yellow mosaic disease of J. integerrima (KC513823), J. podagrica (KF652078) and J. multifida (KF652077) from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India [30]. The partial sequence analysis of ~1.2 kb partial DNA-A amplicons also revealed presence of three begomovirus species: Jatropha mosaic India virus on J. podagrica (HQ848382), Tomato leaf curl Patna virus on J. multifida (HQ848381) and Papaya leaf curl virus on J. integerrima (JQ043440) in Lucknow, India [31].…”

“…Recently, Jatropha mosaic India virus [27], Jatropha leaf yellow mosaic Katerniaghat virus [28] and Jatropha leaf crumple India virus [29] has been reported from Uttar Pradesh, India. Identification and molecular characterization of Jatropha mosaic Lucknow virus associated with yellow mosaic disease of three ornamental species of Jatropha cultivated in India [30] (Table 1). …”
