Genome Analysis of a Novel Clade b Betabaculovirus Isolated from the Legume Pest Matsumuraeses phaseoli (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).

ABSTRACT: Matsumuraeses phaseoli is a Lepidopteran pest that primarily feeds on numerous species of cultivated legumes, such as Glycine and Phaseolus. It is widely distributed in northeast Asia. A novel granulovirus, designated as Matsumuraeses phaseoli granulovirus (MaphGV), was isolated from pathogenic M. phaseoli larvae that dwell in rolled leaves of Astragalus membranaceus, a Chinese medicinal herb. In this study, using next-generation sequencing, we report the complete genome of MaphGV. MaphGV genome comprises a double-stranded DNA of 116,875 bp, with 37.18% GC content. It has 128 hypothetical open reading frames (ORFs). Among them, 38 are baculovirus core genes, 18 are lepidopteran baculovirus conserved genes, and 5 are unique to Baculoviridae.
