Article: New virology data have been reported by scientists at Tohoku University.

According to recent research from Sendai, Japan, "The complete nucleotide sequence was determined for a begomovirus isolated from tomato exhibiting leaf curling and yellowing symptoms in Tochigi Prefecture in Japan. The genome organization of this virus was similar to those of other Old World monopartite begomoviruses."

"Neither a DNA betasatellite nor a DNA-B component was detected. It had the highest total nucleotide sequence identity (99%) with tomato yellow leaf curl virus-Israel [Japan: Tosa: 2005] (TYLCV-IL[JR:Tos:05]) and TYLCV-Israel[Japan: Haruno: 2005] (TYLCV-IL[JR:Han:05]). Its coat protein V1 also showed an identical amino acid sequence with those of ...
