Abstract
A virus isolate associated with yellow mosaic disease was purified from commercially cultivated jasmine (Jasminum sambac) from Andhra Pradesh, India and it contained flexuous filamentous particles of ~720×13nm. The denatured purified virus had single major polypeptide of molecular weight 32kDa. Complementary DNA representing 1678 nucleotides (nt) of the 3' terminus of viral RNA was cloned and sequenced. Comparisons of complete coat protein (CP) gene nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the present virus isolate with certain reported potyviruses revealed 86.1 and 92.7% identity, respectively with jasmine potyvirus T (JaVT) reported from Taiwan and less than 70% with other potyviruses. Based on the phylogenetic analysis of 3' UTR and CP gene, the present virus isolate was identified as an isolate of JaVT that belongs to the genus Potyvirus and the name Jasmine yellow mosaic virus-Andhra Pradesh (JaYMV-AP) is proposed.
