Tobacco yellow crinkle virus, a new bipartite begomovirus infecting tobacco and pepper in Cuba
Plant Pathology 58 (4), 785-785
Abstract: During 2007, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants grown in Cuba were observed with crinkling symptoms and foliar yellowing. The presence of an unknown bipartite begomovirus was demonstrated in the symptomatic plants using PCR analysis and nucleotide sequencing. The sequence of part of DNA-A showed less than 88% nucleotide sequence identity to previously reported begomoviruses. The highest levels of identity were with Cabbage leaf curl Jamaica virus (81.9%). The same virus was also isolated from sweet pepper plants (Capsicum annuum) showing foliar yellow mottle symptoms. The name Tobacco yellow crinkle virus (TbYCV) is proposed for this virus.
