First report of maize striate mosaic virus (Geminiviridae) in sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum)

Abstract

Maize striate mosaic virus (MSMV; genus Mastrevirus) has been previously reported in association with maize in Brazil. Here, we recovered the complete genome of a novel MSMV isolate from sugarcane via high-throughput sequencing. PCR assays with MSMV specific-primers confirmed the presence of this virus in sugarcane. To our knowledge, this is the first worldwide report of MSMV on sugarcane.
