Molecular identification and sequence analysis of two begomoviruses from Passiflora caerulea in Yunnan province,China
Passiflora caerulea is a kind of tropical fruit tree widely planted in the southern provinces of China.The suspected virus-infected P.caerulea has been found in the growing area of Dehong prefecture,Yunnan province.In this study four P.caerulea samples were collected in June 2020 and identified using PCR amplification,cloning,sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.Five full genome sequences,namely YN7292-6,YN7293-12,YN7294-4,YN7294-16 and YN7295-25 were obtained from this four samples,they all have typical monopartite begomoviruses genome structure,encoding seven open reading frames(ORF).The sequences YN7292-6,YN7293-12,YN7294-16 and YN7295-25 were most closed to different isolates of Euphorbia leaf curl virus(EuLCuV)with the similarity higher than 99.05%in total nucleotide sequences.The sequence YN7293-4 were most closely related to isolate GNPF1(GenBank accession no:MK673114.1)of papaya leaf curl Guangdong virus(PaLCuGdV)with the similarity of 99.70%in total nucleotide sequences.Recombinant analysis showed that EuLCuV-YN7293-12 and PaLCuGdV-YN7293-4 were both recombinant begomoviruses.This is first report of EuLCuV and PaLCuGdV synergistically infected passionflower in Yunnan province,which provide a theoretical basis for effective prevention and control of P.caerulea viral diseases.
