Sequence variability in the coat protein gene of Cowpea severe mosaic virus isolates from northeastern Brazil

Abstract: The comovirus Cowpea severe mosaic virus (CPSMV) causes a disease in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) but, despite its importance, there are no studies on the genetic diversity of viral populations. We have determined the nucleotide sequences of part of the coat protein (CP) gene of six Brazilian isolates of CPSMV. Genomic fragments (521 nucleotides) were RT-PCR amplified, cloned, and their sequences were compared with each other and with other comoviruses. Sequence comparisons indicated a high degree of conservatio… Show more

“…Nucleic acid identity of 99.4 to 100% was observed, with a predicted amino acid similarity varying from 98.5 to 99.4% in a fragment from RNA1 (Bradshaw et al, 2011). In addition, a recent study determined that the variability in 521 nucleotides from the coat protein gene of six isolates collected over a period of 32 years from CPSMV was very low, ranging from 97 to 100% nucleic acid identity and from 92 to 100% in the predicted amino acid sequences (Beserra Jr. et al, 2011). Table 1.…”

“…Consequently, information about virus genome variability is crucial. Despite numerous studies on viruses infecting cowpeas, information on virus diversity and genome variability is limited (Beserra Jr. et al, 2011). In this study, we partially sequenced isolates of CPSMV in northeastern Brazil, in which cowpea is a staple food for approximately 68 million people and the cultivation area comprises 1.3 million hectares.…”

“…são as viroses. Dentre os principais vírus que infectam o feijão-caupi, no Brasil, podem ser citados: Cowpea severe mosaic virus (CPSMV) (gênero Comovirus, família Secoviridae); Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV) (gênero Potyvirus, família Potyviridae); Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) (gênero Cucumovirus, família Bromoviridae) e Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) (gênero Begomovirus, família Geminiviridae) (Beserra Junior et al, 2011;Lima et al, 2005). As infecções ocasionadas por vírus podem ocorrer tanto de forma isolada como em coinfecções.…”
