| Abstract: | The results of cloning and sequencing the gene encoding nonstructure protein of the rice dwarf virus (RDV) gtnome segment 10 with polymerase chain reaction(PCR) technique were reported. The amplified PGR product was cloned into Hind Ⅱ site of plasmid pGEM3zf(-) and analysed with restriction enzymes. The physical map of the cloned fragment has been constructed, the insert is 1150 bp in length with restriction enzyme sites of Sac Ⅰ, Hind Ⅲ, NdeⅠ, BamH Ⅰ, etc. Besides, two restriction enzyme sites Bgl Ⅱ and EcoR Ⅰ have been separetely added in the 5 and 3 end of the segment in order to be cloned into plant intermediate vector in a convenient way. The fragments cleaved by the above-mentioned restriction enzymes were subcloned and the DNA sequence of full length of segment 10 was determined. In comparison with the RDV epidemic in Japan, the nucleotide sequence and deduced amino acid sequence of cloned segment 10 are 96.03% and 97.17% in homology respectively. |
