Abstract
The 3'-terminal 1221 nucleotides of a Zimbabwe isolate of cowpea aphid -borne mosaic potyvirus (CABMV) genome have been sequenced. The sequen ce comprises an open reading frame (ORF) of 990 nucleotides and a 3' n on-coding-region of 231 nucleotides followed by a poly-A. The ORF has high similarity to NIb and coat proteins (CP) of potyviruses. A potent ial CP Q/S cleavage site was identified, yielding a CP of 30.5 kDa con taining 275 amino acids. The CABMV sequence is closely related to that of South African passiflora virus (SAPV) which should therefore be re garded as a strain of CABMV.
