Identification, Sequencing, and Molecular Analysis of RNA2 of Artichoke Italian Latent Virus Isolates from Known Hosts and a New Host Plant Species.

ABSTRACT: Despite its first description in 1977 and numerous reports of its presence in various plant species in many countries, the molecular information available in GenBank for artichoke Italian latent virus (AILV) is still limited to a single complete genome sequence (RNA1 and 2) of a grapevine isolate (AILV-V) and a partial portion of the RNA2 sequence from an isolate of unknown origin and host. Here, we report the results of molecular analyses conducted on the RNA2 of some AILV isolates, sequenced for the first time in this study, together with the first-time identification of AILV in a new host plant species, namely chard (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris), associated with vein clearing and mottling symptoms on leaves. The different AILV isolates sequenced were from artichoke (AILV-C), gl
