Abstract

The 5803 nt genomic sequence of a Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) isolate (SCYLV-chn1) from China was determined. It covered more than 98% of the complete viral genome and contained all the six ORFs and the entire intergenic untranslated region. This isolate was most closely related to SCYLV genotype CUB (isolates CUB-YL1 and CB86010) with identities of 95.2–97.4% (nt) (93.2–97.2% aa) in ORF0, ORF1, and ORF2. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analyses supported the view that this isolate represents a new genotype; SCYLV CHN1 was suggested as the name for this new genotype.
