Abstract:

Symptomatic grapevine samples were collected from vineyards in Zanjan province to detect Grapevine virus A. Total RNA was extracted from symptomatic leaf samples and subjected to cDNA synthesis using random hexamer primers. Then, a DNA fragment around 800 bp including the complete coat protein (CP) gene was amplified from nine out of 57 samples by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using specific primers. The infection rate of GAV in vineyards was around 4%, 6%, 2%, and 6% in Zanjan, Abhar, Tarom, and Khoramdareh, respectively. Two DNA fragments corresponding to samples Abhar (p25) and Zanjan (p26), were purified and sequenced. The CP-nucleotide sequence identity between two Iranian isolates was 97.3%. However, sequence identity with previously reported isolates were 76 to 95% and 82 to 98% at the nt and amino acid levels, respectively. CP-based phylogenetic trees showed three main groups (I, II, III) in which p25 (MG977013) and p26 (MG977013) isolates were placed in the group I together with isolates from different geographical regions including Palestine (Israel), Italy, Czech Republic, Jordan, USA and South Africa. To our knowledge, this is the first report of detection and phylogenetic analysis of GVA isolates from Iranian vineyards based on the complete CP gene. Positive selection value was observed on codon 25 indicating the role of this position probably in virus survival and flexibility against evolutionary forces.

Sequences and Phylogenetic Analysis of Envelope (E) Gene of Iranian Infectious Bronchitis Virus Isolates in Iran

Background and Aims: Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is the etiological agent of infectious bronchitis (IB), which is an acute and highly contagious disease of the respiratory and sometimes the urogenital tracts of chickens. In Iran, the disease has been identified in chicken flocks with serological and virus isolation methods. Gene 3c (E) encode envelop (small membrane) protein. For envelope...

Occurrence and Evolutionary Analysis of Coat Protein Gene Sequences of Iranian Isolates of Sugarcane mosaic virus

Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is one of the most damaging viruses infecting sugarcane, maize and some other graminaceous species around the world. To investigate the genetic diversity of SCMV in Iran, the coat protein (CP) gene sequences of 23 SCMV isolates from different hosts were determined. The nucleotide sequence identity among Iranian isolates was more than 96%. They shared nucleotide ide...

RNA2 of grapevine fanleaf virus: sequence analysis and coat protein cistron location.

The nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA2 (3774 nucleotides) of grapevine fanleaf virus strain F13 was determined from overlapping cDNA clones and its genetic organization was deduced. Two rapid and efficient methods were used for cDNA cloning of the 5' region of RNA2. The complete sequence contained only one long open reading frame of 3555 nucleotides (1184 codons, 131K product). The analysi...
