Detection of Persistent Viruses by High-Throughput Sequencing in Tomato and Pepper from Panama: Phylogenetic and Evolutionary Studies.

ABSTRACT: High-throughput sequencing from symptomatic tomato and pepper plants collected in Panama rendered the complete genome of the southern tomato virus (isolate STV_Panama) and bell pepper endornavirus (isolate BPEV_Panama), and almost-complete genomes of three other BPEV isolates. Tomato chlorosis virus, tomato mosaic virus, and impatiens necrotic spot virus were also detected. Analysis of the complete genome of STV and BPEV worldwide isolates revealed nucleotide diversities of 0.004246 and 0.070523, respectively. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis showed two main groups for each virus (I and II), and several subgroups for BPEV (IA, IB, IC, IIA and IIB). Isolate STV_Panama clustered with NC_12-03-08 from USA and Tom3-T from France (99.97% nucleotide identity) in Group I and BPEV_Panama was close t
