Serological and molecular characteristics of pea seed borne mosaic Wras-PSbMV from lentil (Lens culinaris Medik L) in Iran

摘要

During 2016 growing season, samples with leaf yellowing and mosaic like symptoms were collected from main lentil {Lens culinaris Medik L.) fields. Specific ELISA positive PSbMV samples were selected for RT-PCR. Using specific pair of primer towards CPgene region of the virus, PCR product of approx.235bp was amplified. Based on the nucleotide sequences of the CP gene PSbMV isolates were classified in two major groups. In which, isolates in group I divided into two subgroups of Iranian isolates (B2) and (G1), along with Czech Republic, Australia, China, Greece, Pakistan and Egypt were placed in the subgroup-l. Isolate (V18) from Iran placed independently in group II. In the grouping based on the amino acid sequencing the isolates divided into two phylogenetic groups. Iranian isolates along with an isolate from Australia categorized in group-ll, however world isolates were all clustered in group-l.
