title: Coat protein based molecular characterization of Barley yellow dwarf virus isolates identified on oat plants in Pakistan.
abstract: Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is a potential threat to the agriculture production. The amplified complete coat protein sequences of the isolate M07 and M12 were determined to be 597 bp and 603bp, respectively. M07 showed maximum nucleotide sequence identity of 87.6% (84.3% amino acid sequence identity) to a Chinese isolate of BYDV-PAV. Whereas, the isolate M12 showed maximum nucleotide sequence identity of 94.5% (94.0% amino acid sequence identity) to French isolate BYDV-PAV. Since more than 10 o/o differences, among the amino acid level of any gene product, is the sole criterion to discriminate between species within the family Luteoviridae, the isolate M07 that shows maximum of 84.3% (less than 90%) amino acid sequence identity with previously known Luteovirus species, is thus, recommended to be a distinct PAV species within the genus Luteovirus.
