A complex of begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) along with associated satellites has become a serious threat of leaf curl disease worldwide for many agricultural crops including cotton, tomato, soybean and cassava etc. During a survey for the sampling of leaf curl disease infected cotton samples, in 2019 at Dera Ghazi Khan (Punjab, Pakistan), some plants of Cassia occidentalis were observed showing severe symptoms typical of begomovirus infection consisting of cup shaped curling, vein thickening and stunted growth. Begomovirus universal primers (Shahid et al. 2007) amplified a 2.8 kb PCR fragment from two symptomatic samples of C. occidentalis, while there was no amplification from non-symptomatic samples. The two amplified 2.8 kb fragments were cloned into pTZ57R/T and sequenced. The sequences were submitted to GenBank under accession numbers MN566097 and MN566098. Both sequences contained six open reading frames and a nonanucleotide sequence typical of monopartite and/or DNA-A component of bipartite begomoviruses. NCBI blast showed 99% similarity with Pedilanthus leaf curl virus (PeLCV) from Petunia atkinsiana from Pakistan (MF135486). C. occidentalis was also assessed for the presence of alpha-and betasatellites. Alphasatellites universal primer (Bull et al. 2003) yielded 1.4 kb PCR product from the symptomatic samples (from which the virus was cloned). Amplified product was cloned and three clones from the two samples were sequenced. Sequences were submitted under accession numbers MN893465, MN893466 and MN893467. The sequences shared> 96% identity with Ageratum conyzoides symptomless alphasatellite. However, no amplification for betasatellite was obtained after repeated PCR using universal primers for betasatellite (Briddon et al. 2002). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of occurrence of PeLCV with Ageratum conyzoides symptomless alphasatellite and no betasatellite in C. occidentalis which has not been reported earlier in any other host. Since its first report from Pedilanthus tithymoides in Pakistan, PeLCV has been continuously increasing its host range. Various hosts of PeLCV from Pakistan include Sesbania bispinosa, soybean, chili pepper, radish, petunia, turnip and golden dewdrop. It has also been reported in India in two species of jasmine and in carrot. The current report of occurrence of PeLCV in C. occidentalis is further evidence of its expanding host range. The virus may pose a serious threat to other important cash crops of the Indian sub-continent.
