Full-genome analyses of a Potato Virus Y (PVY) isolate infecting pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in the Republic of South Africa

Abstract

Potato Virus Y (PVY) is a pathogen of economic importance in pepper and other major crop species in the family Solanaceae. Three major PVY strain groups: O, C, and N, have been distinguished on the basis of genome sequencing. In this study, the first full-genome sequence of a PVY isolate (JVW-186) infecting pepper from the province of KwaZulu-Natal, Republic of South Africa is reported. The complete genome sequence of JVW-186 was assembled from overlapping RT-PCR clones using MEGA 5 software. Two ORFs were identified at position 186 and 2915 of the sequence encoding the viral polyprotein and the frameshift translated protein P3N-PIPO, respectively. RDP4 software confirmed three recombination breakpoints at position 343, 1365, and 9308 of the sequence. At each recombination event, a 1,021-bp fragment at the 5′ end in the region of the P1/HC-Pro protein and a 392-bp fragment in the region of the coat protein shared a high sequence similarity of 91.8 and 98.89 % to the potato borne PVYC isolate PRI-509 and the PVYO isolate SASA-110, respectively. The non-recombinant fragment 1 (342-bp) clustered within the C clade of PVY isolates; however, the large 7,942-bp fragment 3 did not cluster within any of the clades. This suggests the possibility of a PVY isolate that has evolved due to the dynamics of selection pressure or the likelihood of an ancestral PVY strain.
