Article Synopsis
- In northwestern Argentina, pepper crops are at risk due to the spread of begomoviruses and their vector, leading to increased disease threats.
- A metagenomic study identified six begomoviruses affecting pepper, including a new virus named pepper blistering leaf virus (PepBLV), with soybean blistering mosaic virus (SbBMV) being the most prevalent.
- Additionally, a new alphasatellite linked to one of the viruses was discovered, marking the first instance of such a satellite in a pepper crop in Argentina and demonstrating genetic recombination among virus species.
Plant viruses that are members of the family have circular single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome and are responsible for major crop diseases worldwide. We have identified and characterized a novel monopartite geminivirus infecting tomato in Argentina. The full-length genome was cloned and sequenced.
