Olea europaea Geminivirus (OEGV) was recently identified in olive in Italy through HTS. In this work, we used HTS to show the presence of an OEGV isolate in Portuguese olive trees and suggest the evolution direction of OEGV. The bipartite genome (DNA-A and DNA-B) of the OEGV-PT is similar to Old World begomoviruses in length, but it lacks a pre-coat protein (AV2), which is a typical feature of New World begomoviruses (NW). DNA-A genome organization is closer to NW, containing four ORFs; three in complementary-sense AC1/Rep, AC2/TrAP, AC3/REn and one in virion-sense AV1/CP, but no AC4, typical of begomoviruses. DNA-B comprises two ORFs; MP in virion sense with higher similarity to the tyrosine phosphorylation site of NW, but in opposite sense to begomoviruses; BC1, with no known conserved domains in the complementary sense and no NSP typical of bipartite begomoviruses. Our results show that OEGV presents the longest common region among the begomoviruses, and the TATA box and four replication-associated iterons in a completely new arrangement. We propose two new putative conserved regions for the geminiviruses CP. Lastly, we highlight unique features that may represent a new evolutionary direction for geminiviruses and suggest that OEGV-PT evolution may have occurred from an ancient OW monopartite Begomovirus that lost V2 and C4, gaining functions on cell-to-cell movement by acquiring a DNA-B component.

A bipartite begomovirus infecting Jute mallow (Corchorus capsularis, Tilliaceae) in Vietnam was identified using novel degenerate PCR primers. Analysis of this virus, which was named Corchorus yellow vein virus (CoYVV), showed that it was more similar to New World begomoviruses than to viruses from the Old World. This was based on the absence of an AV2 open reading frame, the presence of an N-terminal PWRLMAGT motif in the coat protein and phylogenetic analysis of the DNA A and DNA B nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences. Evidence is provided that CoYVV is probably indigenous to the region and may be the remnant of a previous population of New World begomoviruses in the Old World.

After a tobacco virus outbreak associated with whiteflies in Chiapas, Mexico, we conducted a survey to detect the presence of begomoviruses. Previously, two tobacco-infecting geminiviruses were reported in the same geographical area: Texas pepper virus-Chiapas and Tobacco apical stunt virus (TPV-CPS and TbASV, respectively) (2). DNA extracts from symptomatic tobacco plants (yellow mosaic, severe foliar distortion, and dwarfing) were used to biolistically inoculate tobacco plants (1). After symptom expression, the viruses were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing. For the first PCR procedure, the primers used (RepMot: 5′GAGTCTAGAGGATANGTRAGGAAATARTTCTT GGC3′ and CPMot: 5′CGCGAATTCGACTGGACCTTACATGGNCCTT CAC3′) were designed from conserved regions of the Rep and CP genes, and directed the amplification of a fragment that includes the intergenic region and varies in size from 600 (for New World begomoviruses) to 750 bp (Old World begomoviruses). Cloning of the PCR products (approximately 600 bp) was performed in the pCRII vector (Invitrogene, San Diego, CA), and viral inserts derived from different symptomatic plants were sequenced. Nucleotide sequence comparisons were performed using the Clustal method (MegAlign, DNAStar software, Madison, WI) with GenBank databases. Analysis of the PCR products allowed the identification of two types of viral sequences. The first virus identified was 98% identical to TPV-CPS, whereas the second virus was clearly related to Rhynchosia golden mosaic virus (RhGMV; 91% identity in the amplified region), and 65% identical to Pepper Huasteco virus (PHV). To disclose the identity of the second virus, another set of primers was used, p260 and p261 (4). These primers are located back-to-back in a conserved region of the CP gene, and direct the amplification of a full-length DNA-A from circular templates. The resulting PCR fragment (2.6 kb) was cloned in pCRII and fully sequenced (GenBank Accession No. AF408199). Analysis showed that this tobacco-infecting geminivirus is a strain of the recently described RhGMV from Honduras (3) (overall DNA A sequence identity, 94%; protein similarities: CP, 98.4%; AL1, 93.6%; AL2, 92.8%; and AL3, 91.7%). Comparative analysis of the intergenic regions of RhGMV-Tob, TPV-CPS, and TbASV showed that these viruses display different Ori-associated iterative motifs (iterons): RhGMV-Tob (GGTRT/G), TPV-CPS (GGAGTC), and TbASV (GGTAT). Since iterons are critical determinants of replication specificity, this observation indicates that those viruses are probably unable to form infectious pseudorecombinants in nature. To date, at least three different geminiviruses have been identified from symptomatic tobacco samples in Chiapas (2), showing how complex a geminiviral outbreak can be in a permissive environment. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the presence of RhGMV has been reported in Mexico and also the first time that this virus has been associated with an economically important crop.
