Abstract

YMV-K strains were purified from D. oppostita Thunb. tv. Dung-Gun-Ma showing mosaic symptom on their leaves. YMV-K strains were filamentous particles of 780nm in length and induced cytoplasmic disorder such as inclusion body formation. Nucleotide and amino acid sequences of 5'-UTR, Pl and CP of YMV-K strains shared 80.8, 64.7 and 98.3% identity respectively to JYMV J1 in the mean value. Purification of YMV-K strains according to JYMV purification method(S. Fuji) was conducted to product antiserum. With antiserum against YMV-K strains, the Various diagnosis methods such as IC-RT-PCR, DIBA, RIPA and indirect-ELISA were used to detect YMV-K strains in Chinese yam plant.
