Molecular Characterization of the Odontoglossum Ringspot Virus and Cymbidium Chlorotic Mosaic Virus Mix-Infecting Cymbidium hybridum in Yunnan
Forty greenhouse-grown orchid samples were collected in Lijiang City,Yunnan Province,China,to assess the presence of viruses.Total RNAs from two samples were extracted and subjected them to high-throughput transcriptome sequencing(HTS)using the Illumina HiSeq platform.BLASTN searches revealed the presence of contigs with high similarities to cymbidium mosaic virus(CymMV),odontoglossum ringspot virus(ORSV),and cymbidium chlorotic mosaic virus(CyCMV).RT-PCR assays were conducted to confirm the presence of these viruses in the individual collected samples,and 10 samples were found to be mix-infected by ORSV and CyCMV.To further ascertain their molecular characteristics,the complete genomic sequences of the ORSV-DH and CyCMV-DH isolates were cloned.The full-length sequences of the ORSV-DH and CyCMV-DH genomes were determined to be 6 611 nt(GeneBank accession No.OP644547)and 4 083 nt(GeneBank accession No.OP629812),respectively.Sequence alignments revealed that ORSV-DH displayed nucleotide sequence identities of 97.69%-99.41%with previously reported ORSV isolates,whereas CyCMV-DH showed identities of 89.84%-98.19%with other CyCMV isolates.Phylogenetic trees of ORSV-DH and CyCMV-DH based on their complete genomic sequences were constructed and showed closely related to the Japanese isolate ORSV-Cy-1(S83257)and the Japanese isolate CyCMV-Japan(NC_027123),respectively.
