Abstrakt: Tomato bushy stunt virus(TBSV) was isolated from nipplefruit (Solanum mammosum) in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, with mosaic symptoms, leaf deformation, and stunting. The genomic structure of the TBSV-nipplefruit strain (TBSV-Nf) is identical to that of the TBSV-cherry strain (TBSV-Ch). Transcripts from its full-length cDNA clone without a cap analog at the 5' terminus infectedNicotiana glutinosa,Nicotiana benthamiana,S. mammosum,Lycopersicon esculentum,Chenopodium amaranticolor, andChenopodium quinoa, which displayed symptoms identical to those of the parental virus. Although TBSV-Ch systemically infected nipplefruit, systemic symptoms caused by TBSV-Nf were more severe than those by TBSV-Ch. This virus is the first TBSV discovered in Japan and the first TBSV ever isolated from nipplefruit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
