Leaves from okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) plants exhibiting unusual viral disease symptoms were tested for the presence of begomovirus infection. The putative full-length Soybean chlorotic blotch virus (SbCBV) components A and B molecules, respectively were amplified, sequenced, and analyzed. This is the first study identifying SbCBV, a bipartite begomovirus infecting okra in Cameroon and the centra Central African region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
