An isolate of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) retrieved from tomato in India was characterized based on its transmission by sap inoculations, Western blot immuno-assay and sequence analysis of RNA3 and 2b genome. The RNA3 genome was of 2,220 nucleotides (nt) which contained two ORFs: movement protein of 852 nt translating 283 amino acids and coat protein of 657 nt translating 218 amino acids. The complete sequence of RNA3 geneome (Acc. EF153734) shared highest 98-99% identities with P1-1, Tfn, and Nt9 strains of CMV infecting tomato reported from abroad. The 333 nucleotides long RNA2b gene (Acc. EF710773) also showed highest 98% identities with P1-1 and 97% with Tfn and NT9 strains of CMV but only 83-84% identities with Indian strains of CMV. Therefore, the isolate under study was identified as a new isolate of CMV of subgroup IB based on highest sequence similarities and closer affinity to European or East Asian isolates of CMV.
从印度番茄中分离得到的一株黄瓜花叶病毒(CMV),通过汁液接种传播、蛋白质免疫印迹分析以及RNA3和2b基因组序列分析对其进行了特征鉴定。RNA3基因组由2220个核苷酸(nt)组成,包含两个开放阅读框:852 nt的移动蛋白翻译出283个氨基酸,657 nt的外壳蛋白翻译出218个氨基酸。RNA3基因组的完整序列(登录号EF153734)与国外报道的感染番茄的CMV的P1-1、Tfn和Nt9株系具有最高98%-99%的同一性。333个核苷酸长的RNA2b基因(登录号EF710773)与CMV的P1-1株系也具有最高98%的同一性,与Tfn和NT9株系具有97%的同一性,但与印度CMV株系只有83%-84%的同一性。因此,基于最高的序列相似性以及与欧洲或东亚CMV分离株更密切的亲缘关系,所研究的分离株被鉴定为CMV亚组IB的一个新分离株。
