Abstract
We determined the 3'-termimus 1353 nucleotides (nts) in length excluding th e poly (A) tail of yam mild mosaic potyvirus (YMMV) RNA. The sequence start s within a long open reading frame (ORF) 1209 nts and is followed by untran slated region (3'-UTR) of 144 nts. The coat protein (CP) contains 266 amino acids (aa) with molecular ratio (Mr) of approximately 30 kDa. The CP of YM MV differs substantially from yam mosaic virus (YMV), Japanese yam mosaic v irus (JYMV) (57 and 61% of amino acid sequence identity) and other potyviru s species. This result suggests that YMMV should be classified as a new yam potyvirus.
