Complete nucleotide sequence of a potato isolate of strain group C of Potato virus Y from 1938

摘要

The complete genomic sequence of an isolate (PRI-509) of the C strain of Potato virus Y (PVY^C), which was originally isolated from potato in 1938, was elucidated. The genomic RNA of PRI-509 consists of 9699 nucleotides, with the capacity to encode a polyprotein of 3061 amino acids with a molecular mass of 337 kDa.This is the first full-length sequence of a PVY ^C isolate from potato that belongs to the C1 phylogenetic subgroup, which was previously thought to exclusively contain non-potato isolates.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00705-010-0853-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
