Coat protein gene, rep protein gene and intergenic region of the genome of a whitefly transmitted geminivirus (WTG) causing severe leaf curl in papaya plants were PCR amplified, cloned and sequenced. Comparison of the amino acid sequence of the putative coat protein product of papaya leaf curl virus (PLCV) with some other mono and bipartite WTGs revealed a maximum of 89.8% homology with Indian cassava mosaic virus. The genomic organization of PLCV-India is similar to other WTGs with bipartite genomes. Comparison of the coat protein N-terminal 70 amino acid sequence (and other biological features) of PLCV with other geminiviruses shows that PLCV is a distinct geminivirus from India and is related to WTGs from the old world.
对一种导致番木瓜植株严重卷叶的粉虱传播双生病毒（WTG）基因组的外壳蛋白基因、复制相关蛋白（Rep）基因和基因间隔区进行了PCR扩增、克隆和测序。将番木瓜卷叶病毒（PLCV）假定外壳蛋白产物的氨基酸序列与其他一些单分体和双分体WTG进行比较，结果显示与印度木薯花叶病毒的同源性最高可达89.8%。印度PLCV的基因组结构与其他具有双分体基因组的WTG相似。将PLCV的外壳蛋白N端70个氨基酸序列（以及其他生物学特征）与其他双生病毒进行比较表明，PLCV是一种来自印度的独特双生病毒，与旧世界的WTG相关。
