Abstract

The biological and molecular properties of Squash leaf curl China virus from Varanasi, India (SLCCNV-IN[IN:Var:Pum]) were characterized. SLCCNV-IN[IN:Var:Pum] could be transmitted by grafting and through whitefly transmission. The complete DNA-A and DNA-B components were amplified through PCR using specific DNA-A and DNA-B primers. The DNA-A of the isolate was comprised of 2,738 nucleotides, encoding typical six open reading frames, and DNA-B of 2,704 nucleotides, encoding two ORFs. Genome organization of the isolate was typical of an old world bipartite begomovirus. Comparisons showed that DNA-A and its intergenic region have the highest sequence identity (97.6 and 97.4%, respectively) with the SLCCNV-IN[IN:Luc:Pum]; (DQ026296). This data suggested that the isolate is a same begomovirus species for which the name Squash leaf curl China virus-India[India:Varanasi:Pumpkin] is proposed. DNA-B showed maximum sequence identity (89.2%) with SLCCNV-IN[IN:Coi:Pum] (AY184488). Phylogenetic analysis of the present isolate showed close relationship to other cucurbit-infecting geminiviruses. This is the first evidence of occurrence of the bipartite Squash leaf curl China virus associated with severe yellow mosaic disease of pumpkin in northern India.
