Abstract

We present here the first complete genomic RNA sequence of the polerovirus Pepper vein yellows virus (PeVYV) obtained from a pepper plant in Australia. We compare it with complete PeVYV genomes from Japan and China. The Australian genome was more closely related to the Japanese than the Chinese genome.

Grants and funding

The University of Western Australia provided laboratory facilities and some operating funds for this project. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation also provided operating funds.
