Abstract

The complete genome sequence of a Chinese isolate of Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) was determined to be 6,495 nucleotides long, single-stranded, plus-sense RNA. The viral RNA has two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs): ORF1 and ORF2. Compared with the genome sequences of ASGV isolates available in GenBank, the nucleotide identities ranged from 80.1 to 86.3 %. The amino acid identities of proteins encoded by ORF1 and ORF2 ranged from 79.5 to 86.1 % and 82.0 to 85.9 %, respectively.
