PHYLOGENETIC AFFINITY OF ISOLATES OF CUCUMBER MOSAIC VIRUS (CMV) FROM CUCUMBER (CUCUMIS SATIVUS), PEPPER (CAPSICUM ANNUUM), AND AGERATUM (AGERATUM HOUSTONIANUM)

Abstract

The nucleotide sequences of two strains of CMV isolated from cucumber and ageratum in the Primorsk region and one strain from pepper isolated in the North Korea have been studied. The phylogenetic linkages among isolated strains and strains of CMV from Genbank were revealed. The intragroup position of the isolated strains of CMV widespread in the Far East was specified.
