Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of infectious clones of a geminivirus from Cos ta Rica that infects Sida rhombifolia was determined. Sida golden mosa ic virus (SiGMV-Co) has a bipartite genome (DNAs A and B). Computer an alysis showed that the bipartite genome of SiGMV-Co resembles that of other whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses. The DNA A (2605 nt) and DNA B (2587 nt) components have little sequence homology other than within the common region (CR). Analysis of DNAs A and B showed that SiGMV-Co is closely related to bean dwarf mosaic virus (BDMV). SiGMV-Co was in troduced via agroinoculation into seven plant species, including tomat o and bean.
