Evolutionary relationships among bean common mosaic virus strains and closely related potyviruses.
Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) consists of a large number of strains with complex and controversial relationships among them and with other potyviruses that infect legumes. In order to elucidate the BCMV taxonomic pattern and its evolutionary implications, a phylogenetic analysis has been carried out. The analysis of the coat protein gene and 3' non-coding region (NCR) sequences recently obtained by us and other currently available potyviral sequences confirms the clustering of viruses comprised in BCMV strains with other closely related potyviruses and reveals the great informative content of 3' NCR, suggesting a more relevant role for this region in phylogenetic analysis.
