Abstract: | The virus causing horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) yellow mosaic disease has been shown to be a typical Old World bipartite begomovirus. The viral origin of the disease has
been established through agroinoculation of horsegram using partial tandem repeat clones of both DNA-A and DNA-B. The DNA-A
genome shows less than 89% identity with the corresponding sequences of all the begomoviruses in the databases earlier to
this sequence submission (AJ627904). Therefore Horsegram yellow mosaic virus (HgYMV-IN:Coi]) can be considered to be a new species of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae). Phylogenetic analysis shows that this virus is part of the cluster of mungbean yellow mosaic viruses of legumes from South
and South East Asia. |
