Abstract
In sap from plants of lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) with necrotic stunt symptoms in Yamaguchi Prefecture in Japan, spherical particles with a diameter of about 30 nm were observed with transmission electron microscopy. We sequenced the complete genome of an isolate using the tombusvirus-specific primers and found that it shared about 96 % nucleotide identities with Moroccan pepper virus (MPV) in the genus Tombusvirus. The isolate reproduced necrotic stunt symptoms on lisianthus plants after mechanical inoculation. This is the first report of MPV on lisianthus in Japan.
