Title: Complete Nucleotide Sequence of a potyvirus causing maize dwarf mosaic disease in Central China
Author: X. Liu, X. Wang, Y. Zhao, C. Zheng, G. Zhou

Abstract: The full-length nucleotide sequence of a potyvirus causing the maize dwarf mosaic (MDM) disease in Henan province, central China, was obtained by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of the cDNA 5'-end (5'-RACE). The viral genome comprised of 9596 nucleotides except the polyA tail and encoded a putative polyprotein of 3603 amino acids. The entire genomic sequence of this isolate shared identities of 94.2% and 98.3% with Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) HZ isolate at the nucleotide and deduced amino acid levels, respectively, but only a 69.1% identity with MDM virus (MDMV) Bulgarian isolate (MDMV-Bg) at the nucleotide level. Phylogenetical tree analysis of the complete nucleotide sequences indicated that the Henan isolate of a potyvirus causing MDM disease is in fact a Henan strain of SCMV (SCMV-HN).
