Abstract

ABSTRACTWe report here the first complete nucleotide sequences of genomic RNAs of three Tomato aspermy virus (TAV) isolates in Japan. Analysis of these sequences showed that they have unique characteristics in RNAs 2 and 3. The Japanese isolates are similar to each other compared to other TAVs.

Highlights

  • We report here the first complete nucleotide sequences of genomic RNAs of three Tomato aspermy virus (TAV) isolates in Japan

  • V-TAV includes a repeat of 163 nucleotides at the 3’ untranslated region of RNA 3 [13], but the Japanese isolates lacked these nucleotides

  • Phylogenetic analysis of TAV RNAs 1, 2, and 3 using MEGA7 software with the neighborjoining method showed that TAV-G1 is more similar to TAV-H9 than to V-TAV and KC-TAV and that TAV-H9 and TAV-Go34 are more similar to TAV-G1 than to TAV-HN and the Iranian isolates

Summary

Introduction

We report here the first complete nucleotide sequences of genomic RNAs of three Tomato aspermy virus (TAV) isolates in Japan. The identities of the nucleotide sequences between three Japanese isolates and the reported V-TAV [8,9,10], KC-TAV [11], and TAV-HN [12] isolates outside Japan were 98.4 to 99.6% for RNA 1, 95.1 to 99.3% for RNA 2, and 92.7 to 99.9% for RNA 3. V-TAV includes a repeat of 163 nucleotides at the 3’ untranslated region of RNA 3 [13], but the Japanese isolates lacked these nucleotides.
