Abstract
Yellow mosaic disease of Cajanus scarabaeoides (L.) Thouars (CsYMD) was observed in up to 46% of C. scarabaeoides plants in the mungbean, urdbean, and pigeon pea fields from 22 districts of Chhattisgarh State, India, during 2017 to 2019. The symptoms were characterized by yellow mosaic on green leaves and yellow discoloration of leaves in advanced stages of the disease. Severely infected plants showed shortened internodal length and reduced leaf size. CsYMD was transmissible to healthy C. scarabaeoides and C. cajan by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). The infected plants developed typical yellow mosaic symptoms on their leaves within 16 and 22 days of inoculation, respectively, suggesting a begomovirus etiology. Molecular analysis revealed that this begomovirus has a bipartite genome composed of DNA-A (2,729 nucleotides) and DNA-B (2,630 nucleotides). Sequence and phylogenetic analyses revealed that the nucleotide sequence of the DNA-A component had the highest identity of 81.1% with DNA-A of Rhynchosia yellow mosaic virus (RhYMV; NC_038885), followed by mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MN602427; 75.3%). DNA-B had the highest identity of 74.0% with DNA-B of RhYMV (NC_038886). As per ICTV guidelines, this isolate had <91% nucleotide identity with DNA-A of any of the begomoviruses reported; so, it is proposed as a new begomovirus species, tentatively named C. scarabaeoides yellow mosaic virus (CsYMV). After agroinoculation with DNA-A and DNA-B clones of CsYMV, all Nicotiana benthamiana plants developed leaf curl symptoms along with light yellowing symptoms 8 to 10 days after inoculation (DAI), while ∼60% of the C. scarabaeoides plants developed yellow mosaic symptoms similar to those observed in the field 18 DAI, thus fulfilling Koch's postulates. From these agro-infected C. scarabaeoides plants, CsYMV was transmissible to healthy C. scarabaeoides plants by B. tabaci. Apart from these hosts, CsYMV also infected and caused symptoms in mungbean and pigeon pea.

Abstract
In the Indian sub-continent, tomato leaf curl disease (ToLCD) of tomato caused by begomoviruses has emerged as a major limiting factor for tomato cultivation. Despite the spread of this disease in the western India, a systematic study on the characterization of virus complexes with ToLCD is lacking. Here, we report the identification of a complex of begomoviruses including 19 DNA-A and 4 DNA-B as well as 15 betasatellites with ToLCD in the western part of the country. Additionally, a novel betasatellite and an alphasatellite were also identified. The recombination breakpoints were detected in the cloned begomoviruses and betasatellites. The cloned infectious DNA constructs cause disease on the tomato (a moderately virus-resistant cultivar) plants, thus fulfilling Koch's postulates for these virus complexes. Further, the role of non-cognate DNA B/betasatellite with ToLCD-associated begomoviruses on disease development was demonstrated. It also emphasizes the evolutionary potential of these virus complexes in breaking disease resistance and plausible expansion of its host range. This necessitates to investigate the mechanism of the interaction between resistance breaking virus complexes and the infected host.
