Genome sequencing of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolates infecting chilli and its interaction with host ferredoxin protein of different host for causing mosaic symptoms.

ABSTRACT: Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important vegetable crop grown in the Indian sub-continent and is prone to viral infections under field conditions. During the field survey, leaf samples from chilli plants showing typical symptoms of disease caused by cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) such as mild mosaic, mottling and leaf distortion were collected. DAC-ELISA analysis confirmed the presence of CMV in 71 out of 100 samples, indicating its widespread prevalence in the region. Five CMV isolates, named Gu1, Gu2, BA, Ho, and Sal were mechanically inoculated onto cucumber and Nicotiana glutinosa plants to study their virulence. Inoculated plants expressed the characteristic symptoms of CMV such as chlorotic spots followed by mild mosaic and leaf distortion. Complete genomes of the five
