          Abstract

          The subtropical Northwestern region of Argentina (provinces of Tucumán, Salta, Jujuy, Santiago del Estero and Catamarca) suffers from a high incidence of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, and the detection of begomoviruses is also common. The Northwest is the main bean-growing region of the country, and approximately 10% of Argentina's soybean crop is grown in this area. We have used a PCR-based assay to establish the identity and genetic diversity of begomoviruses associated with bean and soybean crops in Northwestern Argentina. Universal begomovirus primers were used to direct the amplification of a fragment encompassing the 5' portion of the capsid protein gene. Amplified fragments were cloned, sequenced and subjected to phylogenetic analysis to determine the sequence identity to known begomoviruses. The data indicated the presence of four distinct begomoviruses, all related to other New World begomoviruses. The prevalent virus, which was present in 94% of bean and soybean samples and also in two weed species, is closely related to Sida mottle virus (SiMoV). A virus with high sequence identity with Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) was found in beans. The two remaining viruses displayed less than 89% identity with other known begomoviruses, indicating that they may constitute novel species. One of these putative novel viruses was detected in bean, soybean and tomato samples.

          A região Noroeste da Argentina (províncias de Tucumán, Salta, Jujuy, Santiago del Estero e Catamarca), de clima subtropical, apresenta uma alta incidência da mosca-branca Bemisia tabaci e a detecção de begomovírus também é freqüente. O Noroeste é a principal região produtora de feijão do país e produz aproximadamente 10% da soja da Argentina. A identidade e diversidade genética de begomovírus associados à soja e ao feijoeiro no Noroeste da Argentina foram estudadas com base na amplificação de fragmentos do genoma viral via PCR, utilizando oligonucleotídeos universais para o gênero Begomovirus que amplificam um fragmento correspondente à região 5' do gene da proteína capsidial. Os fragmentos amplificados foram clonados e seqüenciados, e as seqüências foram submetidas à análise filogenética. Os resultados indicam a presença de quatro espécies de begomovírus, todas relacionadas às espécies do Novo Mundo. O vírus prevalente, detectado em 94% das amostras de feijoeiro e soja e em duas amostras de plantas daninhas, apresentou alta identidade de sequência e relacionamento filogenético com o Sida mottle virus (SiMoV). Um vírus com alta identidade de seqüência com o Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) foi detectado em feijoeiro. As duas outras espécies apresentaram menos de 89% de identidade com os demais begomovírus, sugerindo-se tratar de novas espécies. Uma dessas possíveis novas espécies foi detectada em plantas de feijoeiro, soja e tomateiro.
