Abstract:The isolate BOR-3, collected in Slovakia in 1996, was recently identified as a natural recombinant between an M and D type of Plum pox virus (PPV). Biological assays demonstrated its capacity to be aphid- and graft-transmitted to various Prunus spp. hosts. A study was carried out to determine the further presence of PPV recombinants in two epidemiologically distinct areas – Slovakia and France. Tools based on PPV-M and D subgroup typing, targeting P3–6K1, CI and CP regions of the PPV genome were used for recombinant identification. Closely related recombinant variants were detected in different Prunus spp. during a survey conducted in Slovakia in 2001, but not within a set of selected PPV isolates from France collected between 1985 and 2001. Sequence analysis of the (Cter)NIb–(Nter)CP region of 10 recombinant isolates from Slovakia showed their high homology, reaching more than 98%. All the recombinant isolates shared the same recombination breakpoint situated in the C terminus of the NIb gene. Our study demonstrates that the PPV recombinants are viable and competitive with conventional PPV-M and D isolates. The present work indicates that the occurrence of recombinants within PPV isolates might be more common than previously assumed.
