Abstract:Four isolates of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) coat protein (CP) gene were cloned from cherries in Changping (Beijing) and Xi’an (Shaanxi), roses in Kunming (Yunnan) and Haining (Zhejiang) by RT-PCR to analysis their molecular ecology characteristics. Sequence analysis results indicated that the CP gene of Beijing isolate consists of 675 nucleotides (nt) encoding of 224 amino acids residues (aa), and other three isolates from Xi’an, Kunming and Haining consist of 681nt encoding of 226 aa. High sequence identities were showed among four isolates of CP gene with the nucleotide sequence identities between 94.8% and 99.3% and the amino acid sequence identities between 94.2% and 98.7%. It is suggested that Beijing isolate belongs to GroupⅡ, Xi’an, Kunming and Haining isolates belong to Group I after aligned them with the sequences in GenBank and phylogenetic analysis.
