Molecular Characteristics of Bean Common Mosaic Virus Occurring in Inner Mongolia, China

Genes (Basel). 2024 Jan 21;15(1):133. doi: 10.3390/genes15010133.

Abstract

Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) was detected on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants showing wrinkled and/or narrow leaves, curling, shrinking and chlorosis of leaves, dwarfing of plants, and mottled pods in Inner Mongolia and named BCMV-22Huhe. Its genome has a size of 10,062 bp and was deposited in GenBank under the accession number OR778613. It is closely related to BCMV-Az (GenBank accession no. KP903372, in China) in the lineage of AzBMV. A recombination event was detected for BCMV-22Huhe among the 99 BCMV isolates published in the NCBI GenBank database, showing that BCMV-CJ25 (MK069986, found in Mexico) was a potential major parent, and the minor parent is unknown. This work is the first description of the occurrence of BCMV in Inner Mongolia, China.

Keywords: genome; phylogeny; potyvirus; recombination analysis.
