| two novel begomoviruses belonging to different lineages infecting rhynchosia minima. | rhynchosia minima is a host for several begomoviruses, both in the old world and the new world. in cuba, a whitefly-transmitted disease causing yellow mosaic symptoms, suggested to be of viral origin, was described more than 30 years ago in r. minima, but no information about the nature of the viruses infecting this weed in this country is available to date. here, we report the detection of isolates of two novel begomovirus species infecting r. minima in cuba, which we proposed be named rhynchos ... | 2010 | 20852903 |
| first report of a complete genome sequence for a begomovirus infecting jatropha gossypifolia in the americas. | jatropha gossypifolia is a weed that is commonly found with yellow mosaic symptoms growing along the roadside and in close proximity to cultivated crops in many farming communities in jamaica. for the first time, the complete genome sequence of a new begomovirus, designated jatropha mosaic virus-[jamaica:spanish town:2004] (jmv-[jm:st:04]), was determined from field-infected j. gossypifolia in the western hemisphere. dna-a nucleotide sequence comparisons showed closest identity (84 %) to two tob ... | 2014 | 24872185 |
