Abstract

Ornamental perennial plants may serve as reservoirs for viruses that infect field crops. Duranta repens is an ornamental shrub that frequently exhibits leaf curl symptoms typical of begomoviral infection. Two begomoviruses or DNA-A components (isolates 57SA and 58SA) along with a DNA-B component (31SA) were identified in a symptomatic D. repens plant. Isolates 57SA and 58SA showed the highest nucleotide sequence identity of 90% and 92.2% to catharanthus yellow mosaic virus (CaYMV) and chilli leaf curl India virus (ChiLCINV), respectively, whereas 31SA shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity of 95.2% with the DNA-B component of tomato leaf curl New Delhi Virus (ToLCNDV). Isolate 57SA (showing < 91% highest nucleotide sequence identity) may thus be considered a member of a distinct species, and we propose the name "duranta leaf curl virus" (DLCV) for this virus. In addition, isolate 58SA (showing highest nucleotide sequence identity < 94%) is a newly identified strain of ChiLCINV for which the name "Duranta" strain is proposed. Further analysis showed that 57SA, 58SA and 31SA are recombinant, again highlighting the importance of recombination in begomovirus evolution. This is the first identification of DLCV. Also, a mixed infection with two viruses (or DNA-A components) and one DNA-B is reported.

Attention Score in Context

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 21 February 2018.
All research outputs
#18,587,406
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Virology
#3,057
of 4,208 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#327,313
of 439,530 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Virology
#37
of 73 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,208 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% 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 439,530 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 73 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
