| high genetic diversity, distant phylogenetic relationships and intraspecies recombination events among natural populations of yam mosaic virus: a contribution to understanding potyvirus evolution. | to evaluate the genetic diversity and understand the evolution of yam mosaic virus (ymv), a highly destructive pathogen of yam (dioscorea sp.), sequencing was carried out of the c-terminal part of the replicase (nib), the coat protein (cp) and the 3'-untranslated region (3'-utr) of 27 ymv isolates collected from the three main cultivated species (dioscorea alata, the complex dioscorea cayenensis-dioscorea rotundata and dioscorea trifida). ymv showed the most variable cp relative to eight other p ... | 2000 | 10640564 |
