Abstract
The sequences of cDNA clones covering the coat protein genes of 29 iso lates of beet mild yellowing virus from sugar beet and beet western ye llows virus mainly from oilseed rape were compared. The sequences coul d be partitioned into seven distinct clusters falling into three main groups. Group 1 isolates were found both in oilseed rape and sugar bee t mainly from north Europe; group 2 isolates were from hosts other tha n sugar beet in England and France; group 3 isolates were beet-specifi c and found from northern Italy and Iran. The factors affecting this v ariation and its significance in relation to coat protein-mediated pro tection are discussed.
