Complete genome sequence of a Brome Mosaic Virus isolate from the Czech Republic

Abstract

An isolate of Brome mosaic virus (BMV) was originally isolated from Agropyron repens and maintained in Hordeum vulgare. The full-length genome of this isolate (BMV-CZ) was sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that BMV-CZ shared a minimum of 95.6% sequence identity, localized in the 5′-UTR of RNA-1 with the other BMV isolates from the database, and a maximum of divergence of 30.8% with Broad bean mottle virus localized in the 5′-UTR of RNA-3. This is the first sequence report of full-length BMV from the Czech Republic.
