A new strain (FB01) of Tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV) showing curly shoot symptoms on common bean plants from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh state of India was characterized. The analysis of the whole genome sequence and individual ORFs of this virus indicated that it is very closely related (sequence similarity of 89.1-94.5%) to the TbCSV infecting solanaceous and other weed crops in India and China. This was well supported by phylogenetic analysis with close clustering of the virus isolate with TbCSV. The absence of DNA-B and association of virus with betasatellite confirmed it as a monopartite begomovirus. The betasatellite identified here shared highest (53.9-93.9%) sequence identity with tomato leaf curl betasatellite. Further, putative recombination events were recognized within the virus sequence, suggesting that the virus is a recombinant and evolved from recombination of Tobacco
curly shoot virus, Munbean yellow mosaic virus, Tomato leaf curl Jodhpur virus, Tobacco leaf curl Yunnan virus and Ageratum enation virus like ancestors. For betasatellite, the putative recombination events were recognized within the sequence, were interspecific. The new recombinant betasatellite was derived from recombination between Croton yellow vein mosaic betasatellite and Tomato yellow leaf curl China betasatellite, as the foremost parents in its evolution. The virus was transmitted by whiteflies as well as sap, and not by seed.
