Abstract

During the year 2020–2021, a disease syndrome very commonly observed in railway creepers (Ipomoea cairica (L.) Sweet) was taken into consideration from Gorakhpur Province (UP East region). Whitefly, a common vector for plant-related viral diseases was observed for wide transmission of disease. DNA from 17 infected leaf samples was isolated and analyzed through PCR using specific primers designed for the detection of Begomoviruses. Further amplification of isolated DNA fragments supporting a begomovirus infection with an estimated size of (2.7 kb). RCA of the isolated DNA sample was carried out using ϕ29 DNA polymerase by digesting it through a set of restriction endonucleases (such as BamHI, Kpn1, HindIII, EcoRI) obtaining the best result through KpnI. The amplified segment was cloned into pUC 18vectors. The obtained sequences were matched using the NCBI BLAST database showing the highest sequence similarity of 98.7% with ToLCNDV of snake gourd (Accession no. KY780199), isolates of CP genes sequence in Varanasi. ToLCNDV, a begomovirus of bipartite nature was first reported to be from Tomato (Solanaceae), later affecting certain members of the Cucurbitaceae family in India and adjacent countries. The obtained DNA sequence was submitted at NCBI with the name ToLCNDV-IP (GenBank Accession no. OM777194). The phylogenetic analysis clubbed the current isolate ToLCNDV-IP with Asian isolates. All European isolates were clubbed in separate clades indicating two distinct groups of ToLCNDV isolates. ToLCNDV-IP isolate was found to be an intralineage recombinant between two Asian isolates viz ToLCNDV isolate from Papaya (India) and ToLCNDV isolate from Tomato (Pakistan). This study shows the association of recombinant ToLCNDV infection in a new host Ipomoea cairica for the first time in India.
