Begomovirus and DNA-satellites association with mosaic and leaf curl disease of Solanum nigrum and Physalis minima: the new hosts for chilli leaf curl virus.

ABSTRACT: The numerous plants of Solanum nigrum L, and Physalis minima L, well-known weeds with medicinal properties in agriculture and horticulture crops exhibiting severe mosaic, enation and leaf curl symptoms, were collected from the Varanasi and Mirzapur districts of Uttar Pradesh, India. The begomovirus infection in S. nigrum and P. minima was validated by PCR using virus-specific primers. The whole genome of the represented isolate of S. nigrum (SN1), P. minima (PM1), and beta satellite was amplified, cloned and sequenced. The SDT analysis showed that the DNA-A of PM1 and SN1 isolate showed the highest nt identity of 87.4 to 99.1%, with several chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCuV) isolates from India and Oman, respectively. The betasatellite sequence (PM1β
