Hollyhock is one important ornamental plant grown in garden beds across the world. It is susceptible to many diseases caused by diverse pathogens. Among these viral pathogens are causing enormous damage to the hollyhock. The aim of the present study was to identify the begomovirus and DNA satellites associated with the Yellow Vein Mosaic (YVM) and Enation Leaf Curl (EnLC) disease complex of hollyhock. Sample from hollyhock plants exhibiting a typical begomovirus-like symptoms were collected from Pusa campus, New Delhi (India). To know the status of the begomovirus associated with the infected hollyhock samples, total genomic DNA isolated was subjected to PCR amplification using virus specific primer pair. The partial genome (1.2 kb) sequencing of begomovirus associated with ten hollyhock samples (five each from YVM and EnLC pheotype) indicates they shared more homology with.. View More»
