To study the variability and to identify the species of Begomovirus associated with yellow mosaic disease of blackgram in Andhra Pradesh, India, infected blackgram samples were collected from six districts belonging to three regions of Andhra Pradesh. The total DNA was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900 bp gene product. The PCR products were cloned, sequenced and deposited in GenBank. The sequence analysis of six clones showed that the size of amplified CP gene of YMV was 920 bp. Based on nucleotide sequence identity of six isolates representing three regions of Andhra Pradesh, the isolates from Rayalaseema and Telangana region are the same variant of YMV (>99.5% identity) and isolate from coastal Andhra is another variant of YMV (>95.4%) when compared with other region isolates. Comparison of CP gene sequence of YMV-TPT isolate with 27 other isolates in database revealed more than 93.2 and 86.2% identity with MYMIV isolates and less than 80 and 64% identity with MYMY isolates that originate from Indian sub-continent and South-East Asia at nucleotide and amino acid level, respectively. Phylogenetic tree based on CP gene sequences of six isolates with other isolates from GenBank formed unique cluster with MYMIV. Hence the YMV infecting blackgram in Andhra Pradesh is caused by MYMIV rather than MYMY as reported in Tamil Nadu which is adjoining state in southern India.
