| Abstract |
Banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV) is a serious constraint in the production of banana and plantain in India. In this study, we have cloned, sequenced and analyzed the helper component proteinase (HC-Pro) gene of 22 isolates from India and compared with previously reported BBrMV isolates. Sequence identity of BBrMV isolates encoding HC-Pro gene, were 92-100 % both at the nucleotide (nt) and amino acid level. Phylogenetic analysis based on nt sequences of non recombinant isolates showed that TN15, TN9 and TN24 formed one cluster and all the remaining isolates formed into another cluster. Different functional motifs in the central region of HC-Pro gene of BBrMV isolates were found conserved. Four potential recombinants with a total of 15 breakpoints were mostly observed at the N and a few from C terminal regions. The codon based selection analysis revealed that most of the codons were under purifying or negative selection except a codon at position 74 which was under positive selection. It is likely that recombination identified in Indian BBrMV isolates, along with strong purifying selection, enhances the speed of elimination of deleterious mutations in the HC-Pro gene. This study suggested that negative selection and recombination were important evolutionary factors driving the genetic diversification and population structure of Indian BBrMV isolates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the diversity analysis and occurrence of recombination in the HC-Pro gene of BBrMV. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 February 2015.
All research outputs
#20,259,845
of 22,789,566 outputs
Outputs from VirusDisease
#210
of 322 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#303,116
of 361,938 outputs
Outputs of similar age from VirusDisease
#5
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,789,566 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 322 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 361,938 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
