Objectives:
Citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) is an emerging disease that poses a significant threat to the citrus industry in California. In this study, the viral genomic RNA was isolated from Eureka lemon plants in the greenhouse exhibiting CYVCV symptoms. Subsequently, the corresponding DNA genome amplicon was sequenced and annotated. These efforts expand the genotype database of CYVCV, which aims to enhance detection assays, promote understanding of the virus's genetics and evolution, and support the management of this disease.
Data Description:
In this report, we present the complete genome sequence of the CYVCV California isolate (CA1). The genome was found to be 7,530 bp in length, with a G + C content of 51.7%. The 5' and 3' termini were determined using 5' and 3' termini rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) systems. Furthermore, our analysis revealed the presence of six open reading frames (ORFs) potentially encoding proteins. All sequence data and annotation have been deposited in GenBank under the accession number OR037276.1.
