Fig. 1. Photographs of plants and aphids infected with Beet western yellows virus (BWYV). Symptoms of BWYV infection in paprika from a farmer’s greenhouse; (A) vein yellowing symptoms, (B) vein chlorosis symptoms, (C) mosaic symptoms. Two weeds samples collected in a nearby greenhouse that were infected with BWYV and showed no symptoms; (D) Trigonotis peduncularis, (E) Rumex japonicus. Numerous aphids (Myzus persicae) observed in the greenhouse where BWYV occurred (F).
Fig. 2. In the Large-Scale Oligonucleotide Chip (LSON chip) analysis, the causal agent of vein banding symptoms in paprika leaf samples was confirmed to be Beet western yellows virus (BWYV).
Fig. 3. Alignment of the RdRP partial sequences of four samples, including paprika. The nucleotide sequence corresponding to the RdRP region is highly conserved and is marked in blue (Identity: 98.77%).
Fig. 4. The predicted genomic organization of the BWYV-Korea isolate. The complete genome sequence of the BWYV-Korea isolate comprises 5750 nucleotides (nt). ORF2 overlaps with ORF1 and encodes the P1–P2 fusion protein with a -1 ribosomal frameshift at nt 1454 (left arrow). ORF5 encodes the P3–P5 protein with a read-through of the P3 stop codon at position 4140 (right arrow).
Fig. 5. Phylogenetic trees generated by the alignment of the complete nucleotide genome and deduced amino acid sequence with other BWYV isolates and outgroup (BYDV-PAV and PEMV-1). (A) complete genome, (B) P3 protein. The abbreviations of virus name and GenBank accession number is as follows: BWYV isolates (BJ: HM804472, Korea: LC198684, LS: KM076647, Mulhouse: KU521324, Rouen1: KU521325, Rouen2: KU521326, USA: AF473561), BYDV-PAV (Barley yellow dwarf virus–PAV, EF521849), and PEMV-1 (Pea enation mosaic virus 1, NC003629). The bootstrap analysis was carried out using 1000 replicates and scale bar represents 0.05 nucleotide substitutions per site.
