Abstract:
A novel bipartite begomovirus infecting begomovirus-resistant tomato plants was detected via Illumina sequencing analysis, and its genome sequence was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The DNA-A (2627 nt) and DNA-B (2587 nt) have a genome organization that is typical of New World bipartite begomoviruses, sharing 82.5% identity with tomato golden leaf distortion virus and 75.1% identity with sida chlorotic vein virus. Based on the current classification criteria for begomoviruses, this isolate should be considered a member of a new species, and the name "tomato interveinal chlorosis virus-2" (ToICV2) is proposed for this virus.
