Abstract

The complete nucleotide sequence of an infectious, insect-transmissible clone of a beet curly top virus isolate originating from Iran (BCTV-I) has been determined. The nucleotide sequence of BCTV-I shows high levels of similarity to the sequences of BCTV strains isolated from North America, and is nearly identical to the CFH strain of BCTV. The symptoms produced by BCTV-I in Nicotiana benthamiana and Beta vulgaris most closely resemble those of the CFH strain and are distinct from the other isolates. The significance of these findings with respect to the possible geographic origins and evolution of BCTV are discussed.
