Abstract:

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a supreme pathogen in tropical and subtropical areas. During 2014-2015, a total of 393 tomato samples showing Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) symptoms were collected from six different provinces of Iraq. In serological assays, 55 out of 393 samples (14%) reacted positively with TYLCV-specific antibodies .The presence of TYLCV was verified in 21 (out of 55 samples showing tomato yellow leaf curl disease) samples by PCR. Coat protein gene (V1) of 16 TYLCV isolates was amplified using specific primers and cloned. Nucleotide sequence of Iraqi TYLCV isolates V1 gene shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity of 94.1-99.6% in CP gene with Kuwait and Iraq isolates. In phylogenetic analysis based on V1 nucleotide sequences, Iraqi isolates were separated into two main groups and three subgroups, without correlation with geographical origin. Genetic diversity parameters based on V1 nucleotide sequences indicated a high genetic variability in Iraqi population of TYLCV. The proportion of non-synonymous to synonymous nucleotide diversity was <1.0, indicating that this gene is under negative selection. A low gene flow was observed between southern and centric Iraq subpopulations, demonstrating genetic differentiation among Iraqi subpopulations. This is the first study dealt with distribution and genetic variation of TYLCV in Iraq. Full length viral genome sequencing of TYLCV isolates of Iraq is necessary to defferentiate virus strain(s) in Iraq.

Phenotypic and Molecular Screening of Tomato Germplasm for Resistance to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a major tomato virus in tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, 134 accessions of Solanum lycopersicum and six accessions of Solanum peruvianum were assessed for resistance to an Iranian isolate of TYLCV. Plants were inoculated using whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) and the reaction of plants was evaluated based on either disease symptoms or viral DN...

Natural recombination between Tomato yellow leaf curl virus-is and Tomato leaf curl virus.

The complete genome sequences (2791 and 2793 nt) of isolates of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus-Is (TYLCV-Is) from Spain (SP72/97) and Portugal (Port2/95) were determined. These isolates are closely related to TYLCV-Is isolates reported in Japan (Japan-A and Japan-S) and Israel (Israel/Mild). Comparison of all sequenced isolates of TYLCV-Is showed that part of the genome comprising the intergenic...

Complete Genomic Sequence of a Strain of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus from Iran

Background and Aims: Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is one of the most destructive viruses of tomato that leads to reduced tomato yield up to 100% in tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, the complete sequence of TYLCV isolate from Hormozgan province, Iran and its recombination evsent was determined. Methods: TYLCV infected tomato was collected from Hormozgan province. Total D...

Genetic diversity, host range, and distribution of tomato yellow leaf curl virus in Iran.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is considered one of the most important tomato pathogens in tropical and subtropical regions including Iran. During the years 2007 to 2009, a total number of 510 symptomatic and asymptomatic vegetable, ornamental and weed samples were collected from fields and greenhouses in ten provinces of Iran. Symptoms included stunting, yellowing, leaf curl and flower ...

Assessment of the genetic diversity of tomato yellow leaf curl virus.

The objective of the present study was to analyze the genetic diversity of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Representative TYLCV sequences were searched in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database. Comprehensive analysis of TYLCV was performed using bioinformatics by examining gene structure, sequence alignments, phylogeny, GC content, and homology. Forty-eight represent...

Genetic structure and population variability of tomato yellow leaf curl China virus.

Geminiviruses have circular single-stranded DNA genomes and are important pathogens in tropical and subtropical regions, but their population diversity and variability are poorly understood. Here, we have investigated variations accumulating in Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV), a geminivirus in the genus Begomovirus of the family Geminiviridae. The population variation was analyzed...
