Abstract

Nucleotide (nt) sequencing has contributed to the identification of virus species and has also proved diagnostically useful in the control of tomato-infecting begomoviruses disease. We determined the complete nt sequences of the DNA-A genome and its cognate DNAβ satellite molecules in isolates of Tobacco leaf curl Japan virus, Honeysuckle yellow vein mosaic virus, Eupatorium yellow vein virus in Japan. Pairwise comparison analyses based on the nt sequences of DNA-A from the genetic group of these viruses tentatively named as TbLCJV, HYVMV and EpYVV (TbJV/HYV/EpV) revealed that this group had a significance threshold of 84 % identity. Phylogenetic relationship analyses of the nt sequences of DNA-A and DNAβ revealed that their isolates were separated into a discrete Far East Asian clade, distinct from all other begomoviruses. This clade was divided into two distinct clusters comprising the subgroups TbJV/HYV and EpV. Furthermore, recombination analysis revealed that members of the TbJV/HYV/EpV group had the genetic variation indicative of many recombination events. Our study demonstrates that this group forms a unique species complex, but that members have discrete lineages depending on their natural perennial host plants.
