Abstract

In 2020, lilac trees showing virus-like symptoms such as leaf necrosis and chlorosis were observed in Korea. After RT-PCR detection with specific primer sets designed based on previously reported nucleotide sequences of viruses in lilac, the agent was identified as ligustrum virus A (LVA). The complete genome of the virus was sequenced and used for phylogenetic analysis. The genome of this novel strain of LVA, LVA-SNU, is 8524 nucleotides long, excluding the poly(A) tail, and shares the highest nucleotide sequence identity (77.28%) with LVA-Sob, which was detected in a plant of the same species, Syringa oblata, in China, whereas LVA-Sob shares higher sequence identity (97.89%) with LVA-SK, which has been detected in host plants of various species.
