Identification and molecular characterization of two begomoviruses from Pouzolzia zeylanica (L.) Benn. exhibiting yellow mosaic symptoms in adjacent regions of China and Vietnam.
Two monopartite begomoviruses were isolated from Pouzolzia zeylanica (L.) Benn. plants showing yellow mosaic symptoms in Gaoyao, Guangdong Province, China (GD1) and in Phu Tho, Vietnam (VN), respectively. A comparison of the complete genome sequence of GD1 (2,739 nucleotides [nt]) with VN (2,741 nt) indicated that they shared 86.2 % nt sequence identity. GD1 and VN shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity at 86.7 % and 91.4 % respectively, with isolate TY01 of pouzolzia golden mosaic virus (PGMV-TY01), another begomovirus isolated from P. zeylanica. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that GD1, VN, and PGMV-TY01 were members of a distinct begomovirus clade. Based on the ICTV guidelines for begomoviral species demarcation, GD1 belongs to a new begomovirus species, for which the name Pouzolzia yellow mosaic virus is proposed. Likewise, VN represents a previously unreported strain of PGMV. Recombination analysis predicted that VN was a recombinant between PGMV-TY01 and ageratum yellow vein China virus isolate G13 (AYVCNV-G13), and that PGMV-TY01 and VN were likely the parents of GD1 through recombination with allamanda leaf curl virus isolate G10 (AlLCV-G10), a begomovirus endemic to Guangdong Province of China.
