rhynchosia capitata/nicotine

After a tobacco virus outbreak associated with whiteflies in Chiapas, Mexico, we conducted a survey to detect the presence of begomoviruses. Previously, two tobacco-infecting geminiviruses were reported in the same geographical area: Texas pepper virus-Chiapas and Tobacco apical stunt virus (TPV-CPS

Rhynchosia minima (L.) DC. (Fabaceae) plants exhibiting bright golden mosaic symptoms were previously associated with begomovirus infection in Yucatan, México [1]. To characterize the begomovirus infecting these plants, the complete bipartite genome was cloned and sequenced. Sequence comparisons

The legume yellow mosaic viruses (LYMVs) that cause extensive losses to grain legumes across southern Asia are an evolutionarily unusual group of begomoviruses (genus Begomovirus; family Geminiviridae) with bipartite genomes. All previously identified LYMVs were isolated from leguminous crop
