some molecular characteristics of three viruses from spvd-affected sweet potato plants in egypt.	sweet potato feathery mottle virus (spfmv, genus potyvirus, family potyviridae), sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (spcsv, genus crinivirus, family closteroviridae) and sweet potato virus g (spvg) were detected in naturally infected sweet potato plants grown in the delta region in egypt. before this study, spvg was reported only from china. two isolates of spfmv and one isolate of spvg were characterized for the 3'-proximal genomic sequences. phylogenetic analyses indicated that the spfmv isola ...	2003	14648298
molecular variability of sweet potato feathery mottle virus and other potyviruses infecting sweet potato in peru.	several potyviruses are found infecting sweet potato (ipomoea batatas) in peru, of which sweet potato feathery mottle virus (spfmv, genus potyvirus) is the most common. however, sequence data for these viruses are not available from peru. in this study, the 3'-terminal approximately 1,800 nucleotide sequences of 17 potyvirus samples collected from the six main sweet potato-producing areas of peru over the past 20 years were determined and analyzed. results of sequence comparisons and phylogeneti ...	2008	18172571
phylogenetic relationships of closely related potyviruses infecting sweet potato determined by genomic characterization of sweet potato virus g and sweet potato virus 2.	complete nucleotide sequences of sweet potato virus g (spvg) and sweet potato virus 2 (spv2) were determined to be 10,800 and 10,731 nucleotides, respectively, excluding the 3'-poly(a) tail. their genomic organizations are typical of potyviruses, encoding a polyprotein which is likely cleaved into 10 mature proteins by three viral proteinases. conserved motifs of orthologous proteins of viruses in the genus potyvirus are found in corresponding positions of both viruses. pairwise comparisons of i ...	2012	22562225
simultaneous detection and differentiation of four closely related sweet potato potyviruses by a multiplex one-step rt-pcr.	four closely related potyviruses, sweet potato feathery mottle virus (spfmv), sweet potato virus c (spvc), sweet potato virus g (spvg) and/or sweet potato virus 2 (spv2), are involved in sweet potato virus disease complexes worldwide. identification and detection of these viruses are complicated by high similarity among their genomic sequences, frequent occurrence as mixed infections and low titer in many sweet potato cultivars. a one-tube multiplex reverse transcription-pcr (mrt-pcr) assay was ...	2012	22827958
complete nucleotide sequence of an argentinean isolate of sweet potato virus g.	sweet potato virus g belongs to the largest plant virus genus potyvirus. this virus was detected for the first time in argentina and then sequenced using the method of next-generation pyrosequencing. the complete genome was found to be 10,798 nucleotides excluding the poly-a tail with a predicted genome organization typical for a member of the genus potyvirus. this is the first report of the complete genomic sequence of a spvg isolated from south america.	2012	22826154
population dynamics of three aphid species (hemiptera: aphididae) on four ipomoea spp. infected or noninfected with sweetpotato potyviruses.	three aphid species, aphis gossypii glover and myzus persicae (sulzer) (efficient sweetpotato potyvirus vectors) and rhopalosiphum padi (l.) (an inefficient vector), are commonly found in sweet potato, ipomoea batatas (l.), in louisiana. field-grown sweet potatoes are naturally infected with several potyviruses: sweet potato feathery mottle virus, sweet potato virus g, and sweet potato virus 2. thus, these aphids commonly encounter virus-infected hosts. what is not known is how each of these aph ...	2013	24020267
variation in virus symptom development and root architecture attributes at the onset of storage root initiation in 'beauregard' sweetpotato plants grown with or without nitrogen.	it has been shown that virus infections, often symptomless, significantly limit sweetpotato productivity, especially in regions characterized by low input agricultural systems. in sweetpotatoes, the successful emergence and development of lateral roots (lrs), the main determinant of root architecture, determines the competency of adventitious roots to undergo storage root initiation. this study aimed to investigate the effect of some plant viruses on root architecture attributes during the onset ...	2014	25243579
the current incidence of viral disease in korean sweet potatoes and development of multiplex rt-pcr assays for simultaneous detection of eight sweet potato viruses.	sweet potato is grown extensively from tropical to temperate regions and is an important food crop worldwide. in this study, we established detection methods for 17 major sweet potato viruses using single and multiplex rt-pcr assays. to investigate the current incidence of viral diseases, we collected 154 samples of various sweet potato cultivars showing virus-like symptoms from 40 fields in 10 korean regions, and analyzed them by rt-pcr using specific primers for each of the 17 viruses. of the ...	2014	25506306
development of transgenic sweet potato with multiple virus resistance in south africa (sa).	multiple infections of sweet potato feathery mottle virus (spfmv), sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (spcsv), sweet potato virus g (spvg) and sweet potato mild mottle virus (spmmv) cause a devastating synergistic disease complex of sweet potato (ipomoea batatas lam.) in kwazulu-natal, south africa. in order to address the problem of multiple virus infections and synergism, this study aimed to develop transgenic sweet potato (cv. blesbok) plants with broad virus resistance. coat protein gene seg ...	2014	24158330
detection of sweet potato virus c, sweet potato virus 2 and sweet potato feathery mottle virus in portugal.	field sweet potato plants showing virus-like symptoms, as stunting, leaf distortion, mosaic and chlorosis, were collected in southwest portugal and tested for the presence of four potyviruses, sweet potato virus c (spvc), sweet potato virus 2 (spv2), sweet potato feathery mottle virus (spfmv), sweet potato virus g (spvg), and the crinivirus sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (spcsv). dsrna fractions were extracted from symptomatic leaves and used as templates in single and multiplex rt-pcr assay ...	2015	26104336
molecular characterization of five potyviruses infecting korean sweet potatoes based on analyses of complete genome sequences.	sweet potatoes (ipomea batatas l.) are grown extensively, in tropical and temperate regions, and are important food crops worldwide. in korea, potyviruses, including sweet potato feathery mottle virus (spfmv), sweet potato virus c (spvc), sweet potato virus g (spvg), sweet potato virus 2 (spv2), and sweet potato latent virus (splv), have been detected in sweet potato fields at a high (~95%) incidence. in the present work, complete genome sequences of 18 isolates, representing the five potyviruse ...	2015	26673876
deep sequencing reveals the complete genome sequence of sweet potato virus g from east timor.	we present the first complete sweet potato virus g (spvg) genome from sweet potato in east timor and compare it with seven complete spvg genomes from south korea (three), taiwan (two), argentina (one), and the united states (one). it most resembles the genomes from the united states and south korea.	2016	27609925
