Abstract
A novel bipartite begomovirus infecting Cnidoscolus urens (Euphorbiaceae) from Pernambuco State, Brazil, has been characterized. The complete DNA-A (2657 nt) and DNA-B (2622 nt) components of the viral isolates show the typical genome organization of New World bipartite begomoviruses. DNA-A of the isolates had the highest percentage of nucleotide sequence identity (88.6-88.9%) to cnidoscolus mosaic leaf deformation virus. Based on the current classification criteria for the genus Begomovirus, the virus infecting C. urens should be considered a new member of the genus, and the name "cnidoscolus mild mosaic virus" is proposed for the virus, and the name "Begomovirus caboniensis" is proposed for its species.

High molecular diversity and divergent subpopulations of the begomovirus cnidoscolus mosaic leaf deformation virus associated with Cnidoscolus urens. Arch Virol 2021; 166:3289-3299.

Abstract
Begomoviruses have circular, single-stranded DNA genomes encapsidated into twinned quasi-icosahedral particles and are transmitted by whiteflies of the Bemisia tabaci sibling group. Begomoviruses infect cultivated and non-cultivated plants, causing great losses in economically important crops worldwide. To better understand the genetic diversity of begomoviruses infecting the non-cultivated host Cnidoscolus urens, leaf samples exhibiting virus-like symptoms were collected in different localities in the state of Alagoas, Brazil, during 2015 and 2016. Forty-two complete DNA-A sequences were cloned and sequenced by the Sanger method. Based on nucleotide sequence comparisons, the 42 new isolates were identified as the bipartite begomovirus cnidoscolus mosaic leaf deformation virus (CnMLDV). The CnMLDV isolates were clustered in two phylogenetic groups (clusters I and II) corresponding to their sampling areas, and the high value of Wright's F fixation index observed for the DNA-A sequences suggests population structuring. At least seven independent intraspecies recombination events were predicted among CnMLDV isolates, with recombination breakpoints located in the common region (CR) and in the CP and Rep genes. Also, a high per site nucleotide diversity (π) was observed for CnMLDV isolates, with CP being significantly more variable than Rep. Despite the high genetic variability, strong negative or purifying selection was identified as the main selective force acting upon CP and Rep.

Croton golden mosaic virus: a new bipartite begomovirus isolated from Croton hirtus in Colombia. Arch Virol 2018; 163:3199-3202. [PMID: 30097742 DOI: 10.1007/s00705-018-3989-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2018] [Accepted: 06/27/2018] [Indexed: 10/28/2022]
Abstract
A new begomovirus infecting Croton hirtus (Euphorbiaceae) from Colombia has been characterized. The complete DNA-A and DNA-B components were determined to be 2613 and 2551 nt in length, respectively, showing the typical genome organization of bipartite New World begomoviruses. DNA-A showed the highest nucleotide sequence identity (81.2%) to sida yellow mottle virus (JN411687), a begomovirus isolated from Sida rhombifolia in Cuba. Based on the current ICTV species demarcation criterion for the genus Begomovirus, we report a new member of this genus infecting C. hirtus. We propose that it be named Croton golden mosaic virus (CroGMV), based on the symptoms observed in the weed. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CroGMV segregates into a single clade and has some relationship with viruses from Central America and the Caribbean. CroGMV is the first Croton-infecting bipartite begomovirus reported in the world.

Abstract
Begomoviruses have been detected infecting the weed Cnidoscolus urens (family Euphorbiaceae) since 2004, but the viral species to which these viruses belonged was not known. Here, we report for the first time the complete genome sequence of a bipartite begomovirus obtained from C. urens collected in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. This isolate met the criteria to be classified as a member of a new begomovirus species, and the tentative name cnidoscolus mosaic leaf deformation virus (CnMLDV) is proposed. Pairwise sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis showed that the DNA-A genomic component of CnMLDV is most closely related to that of passionfruit severe leaf distortion virus, with 86.3 % nucleotide sequence identity.

Abstract
Begomoviruses are numerous and geographically widespread viruses that cause devastating diseases in many crops. Monopartite begomoviruses are frequently associated with betasatellites or alphasatellites. Both betasatellite and alphasatellite DNA genomes are approximately half the size of begomovirus DNA genomes. Betasatellites are essential for induction of typical disease symptoms. The βC1 genes encoded by the betasatellites have important roles in symptom induction, in suppression of transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene silencing, and they can affect jasmonic acid responsive genes. Host plants of begomoviruses have evolved diverse innate defense mechanisms against the βC1 protein to counter these challenges. Alphasatellites have been identified mainly in monopartite begomoviruses that associate with betasatellites and have no known contributions to pathogenesis of begomovirus-betasatellite disease complexes. Applications of current molecular tools are facilitating viral diagnosis and the discovery of novel species of geminiviruses and satellite DNAs and are also advancing our understanding of the global diversity and evolution of satellite DNAs.

Abstract
Croton yellow vein mosaic virus (CYVMV) is a widely occurring begomovirus in Croton bonplandianum, a common weed in the Indian subcontinent. In this study, CYVMV (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) was transmitted by whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) to as many as 35 plant species belonging to 11 families, including many vegetables, tobacco varieties, ornamentals and weeds. CYVMV produced bright yellow vein symptoms in croton, whereas in all the other host species, the virus produced leaf curl symptoms. CYVMV produced leaf curl in 13 tobacco species and 22 cultivars of Nicotiana tabacum and resembled tobacco leaf curl virus (TobLCV) in host reactions. However, CYVMV was distinguished from TobLCV in four differential hosts, Ageratum conyzoides, C. bonplandianum, Euphorbia geniculata and Sonchus bracyotis. The complete genome sequences of four isolates originating from northern, eastern and southern India revealed that a single species of DNA-A and a betasatellite, croton yellow vein mosaic betasatellite (CroYVMB) were associated with the yellow vein mosaic disease of croton. The sequence identity among the isolates of CYVMV DNA-A and CroYVMB occurring in diverse plant species was 91.8-97.9 % and 83.3-100 %, respectively. The CYVMV DNA-A and CroYVMB generated through rolling-circle amplification of the cloned DNAs produced typical symptoms of yellow vein mosaic and leaf curling in croton and tomato, respectively. The progeny virus from both the croton and tomato plants was transmitted successfully by B. tabaci. The present study establishes the etiology of yellow vein mosaic disease of C. bonplandianum and provides molecular evidence that a weed-infecting monopartite begomovirus causes leaf curl in tomato.

Virol J 2011; 8:555.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus; family Malvaceae) is grown in temperate as well as subtropical regions of the world, both for human consumption as a vegetable and for industrial uses. Okra yields are affected by the diseases caused by phyopathogenic viruses. India is the largest producer of okra and in this region a major biotic constraint to production are viruses of the genus Begomovirus. Begomoviruses affecting okra across the Old World are associated with specific, symptom modulating satellites (beta satellites). We describe a comprehensive analysis of the diversity of beta satellites associated with okra in India. RESULTS The full-length sequences of 36 beta satellites, isolated from okra exhibiting typical begomovirus symptoms (leaf curl and yellow vein), were determined. The sequences segregated in to four groups. Two groups correspond to the beta satellites Okra leaf curl beta satellite (OLCuB) and Bhendi yellow vein beta satellite (BYVB) that have previously been identified in okra from the sub-continent. One sequence was distinct from all other, previously isolated beta satellites and represents a new species for which we propose the name Bhendi yellow vein India beta satellite (BYVIB). This new beta satellite was nevertheless closely related to BYVB and OLCuB. Most surprising was the identification of Croton yellow vein mosaic beta satellite (CroYVMB) in okra; a beta satellite not previously identified in a malvaceous plant species. The okra beta satellites were shown to have distinct geographic host ranges with BYVB occurring across India whereas OLCuB was only identified in northwestern India. Okra infections with CroYVMB were only identified across the northern and eastern central regions of India. A more detailed analysis of the sequences showed that OLCuB, BYVB and BYVIB share highest identity with respect βC1 gene. βC1 is the only gene encoded by beta satellites, the product of which is the major pathogenicity determinant of begomovirus-beta satellite complexes and is involved in overcoming host defenses based on RNAi. CONCLUSION The diversity of beta satellites in okra across the sub-continent is higher than previously realized and is higher than for any other malvaceous plant species so far analyzed. The beta satellites identified in okra show geographic segregation, which has implications for the development and introduction of resistant okra varieties. However, the finding that the βC1 gene of the major okra beta satellites (OLCuB, BYVB and BYVIB) share high sequence identity and provides a possible avenue to achieve a broad spectrum resistance.
