Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this study, we determined for the first time the complete genomic sequence of an Argentinian isolate of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), the type species of the genus Polerovirus. The isolate sequenced came from a Solanum tuberosum plant that had been naturally infected with the virus. Isolate PLRV-AR had a nucleotide sequence identity between 94.4 and 97.3% with several known PLRV isolates worldwide.

Highlights

  • In this study, we determined for the first time the complete genomic sequence of an Argentinian isolate of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), the type species of the genus Polerovirus

  • The ORF2 sequence of a PLRV isolate, which was detected in 1999, is the only partial sequence reported of an Argentinian PLRV isolate [5]

  • Total RNA was isolated from infected leaf samples using the TriPure isolation reagent (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., USA), and cDNA was synthesized with reverse transcriptase SuperScript III (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., USA)

Summary

Introduction

We determined for the first time the complete genomic sequence of an Argentinian isolate of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), the type species of the genus Polerovirus. The ORF2 sequence of a PLRV isolate, which was detected in 1999, is the only partial sequence reported of an Argentinian PLRV isolate [5]. To obtain a complete genome sequence of an Argentinian isolate of PLRV, we obtained a field-grown infected S. tuberosum cv. Total RNA was isolated from infected leaf samples using the TriPure isolation reagent (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., USA), and cDNA was synthesized with reverse transcriptase SuperScript III (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., USA).
