Description
Summary:1 Department of Plant Pathology, 1453 Fifield Hall, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611-0680 and 2 Gulf Coast Research and Education Center, Bradenton, Florida 34203, U.S.A. A new geminivirus, tomato mottle virus (TMoV), affecting tomato production in Florida has been cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis of the cloned replicative forms of TMoV revealed four potential coding regions for the A component [2601 nucleotides (nt)] and two for the B component (2541 nt). Comparisons of the nucleotide sequence of the TMoV genome with those of other whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses indicate that TMoV is a typical bipartite geminivirus of the New World and is closely related to but distinct from abutilon mosaic virus.
