Abstract

We present here the first complete genome sequences of Sweet potato chlorotic fleck virus (SPCFV) from sweet potato in Australia and East Timor, and we compare these with four complete SPCFV genomes from South Korea and one from Uganda. The Australian, East Timorese, South Korean, and Ugandan genomes differed considerably from each other.

Grants and funding

The University of Western Australia provided laboratory and glasshouse facilities and some operating funds to this project. The Department of Agriculture and Food Western Australia also provided glasshouse facilities.
