Abstract

The occurrence of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) in cole crops (Brassica spp) grown in Basar, Arunachal Pradesh, India was confirmed by symptomatology, transmission electron microscopy, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and partial characterization of cytoplasmic inclusion protein and coat protein (CP) domains. Phylogenetic analysis of the partial CP sequences of the new TuMV isolates from Indian mustard (AR-IndM), broad leaved mustard (AR-BrLM) and broccoli (AR-Broc) revealed their closest relationship with members of the World-B genogroup of TuMV. This is the first molecular evidence of TuMV infection in Brassica spp from India.
