Diversity of phytovirus strains in the South of the Russian Far East

Aim: to systematise data on the strain diversity of phytoviruses isolated in the South of the Russian Far East based on the analysis of the funds of the Russian Collection of East Asian Viruses of the Laboratory of Virology of the Federal Research Centre for Terrestrial Biodiversity of the Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. The paper considers strains belonging to representatives of the genera Carlavirus (Tymovirales: Betaflexiviridae) (potato virus M, potato virus S, Vicia pseudorobus necrotic mosaic virus, lily symptomless virus); Cucumovirus (Martellivirales: Bromoviridae) (tomato aspermy virus, cucumber mosaic virus); Nepovirus (Picornavirales: Secoviridae) (raspberry ringspot virus, tobacco ringspot virus, tomato ringspot virus, dayflower mosaic virus, Phryma asiatica mosaic virus, Capsicum annuum necrotic spot virus, foenugreek necrotic spot virus); Potexvirus (Tymovirales: Alphaflexiviridae) (potato aucuba mosaic virus, potato virus X, white clover mosaic virus, Plantago asiatica mosaic virus, hydrangea ringspot virus, lily virus X); Potyvirus (Patatavirales: Potyviridae) (Onion yellow dwarf virus, Trifolium hybridum yellow mosaic virus, bean yellow mosaic virus, potato virus A, potato virus Y, Trifolium repens mottle virus, Hippeastrum mosaic virus, mountain clover mosaic virus, soybean mosaic virus, Tradescantia albiflora mosaic virus, turnip mosaic virus, bean common mosaic virus, soybean weak mosaic virus, soybean chlorotic deformation virus); Tobamovirus (Martellivirales: Virgaviridae) (cucumber green mottle mosaic virus, tobacco mosaic virus, tomato mosaic virus). The level revealed of strain variety of phytoviruses in the South of the Russian Far East as a reflection of the high biodiversity in this region requires regular ecological and phytovirusological monitoring in both natural and agrobiocenoses.
