西瓜花叶病毒中国分离株全基因组核苷酸序列测定

西瓜花叶病毒(Watermelon mosaic virus,WMV)是马铃薯Y病毒属(Potyvirus)成员,主要危害西瓜和甜瓜,引起花叶病。在田间,该病害主要由蚜虫以非持久性方式传播。西瓜和甜瓜花叶病在国内陕西、山东、云南、辽宁、山西、新疆、河南和黑龙江等地广泛发生[1-6]。从20世纪80年代中期开始发生,逐渐上升为普遍发生的主要病害。我国大部分地区因西瓜和甜瓜病毒病造成的损失为30%~50%,甚至会绝产,西瓜花叶病毒已经成为制约西瓜和甜瓜高产稳产最主要的因素之一[7]。到目前为止,多数工作集中在对西瓜和甜瓜病毒病的鉴定,在分子生物学上仅限于对CP基因…

Complete Nucleotide Sequence of Watermelon Mosaic Virus China Isolate

Watermelon and melon mosaic disease is the important disease in agricultural production,mostly caused by watermelon mosaic virus.In this paper,the complete nucleotide sequence of watermelon mosaic virus Chinese isolate(WMV-Ch)was firstly determined.Excluding the 3'-terminal poly(A)tail,the genome was 10037 nt long,containing 5'-and 3'-terminal untranslated regions and a large open reading frame.The genome encoded a polyprotein of 3217 amino acids with a predicted Mr of 365.8 kD.Based on comparison with the proposed location of cleavage sites of other potyvirus polyproteins,10 mature proteins were predicted.There were 92.5% nucleotide and 96.4% amino acid identities over entire genome between WMV-Ch and France isolate(WMV-Fr),respectively.The nucleotide identity of the coat protein genes among WMV-Ch and WMV from different countries was all less than 95%,and phylogenetic tree revealed that WMV-Ch was most close to Japanese isolate.
