Abstract
Analysis of the P1C124 source (associated with the cherry necrotic mottle leaf (CNML) disease) revealed the presence of two different viral agents. The complete nucleotide sequence of one of these agents, P1A, had an overall nucleotide sequence similarity of 83% with a previously sequenced North American isolate of Cherry green ring mottle virus (CGRMV) and should therefore be regarded as an European isolate of CGRMV. Approximately 2 kb of the 5' end of the genome of the second agent, P1B, were also sequenced and were shown to be 82% homologous with Cherry necrotic rusty mottle virus (CNRMV), another member of the Foveavirus genus. The possible involvement of CGRMV-P1A and of CNRMV-P1B in the etiology of the CNML disease is discussed.
