# Genome sequences of six recombinant variants of potato virus Y identified in North American potato cultivars grown in China

## TL;DR

The paper reports six genome sequences of recombinant potato virus Y variants found in North American potato cultivars grown in China.

## Contribution

The study identifies three distinct recombinant variants of PVY with complete genome sequences.

## Key findings

- Six PVY isolates were sequenced, representing three recombinant variants.
- Each isolate contains a single open reading frame typical of potyviruses.
- The isolates were found in North American potato cultivars grown in China.

## Abstract

Six genome sequences for potato virus Y (PVY) recombinants are reported from two North American potato cultivars grown in China. The coding complete sequences encode a single open reading frame characteristic of potyviruses. The six sequenced PVY isolates represent three distinct recombinants of PVY, namely N-Wi, SYR-I, and SYR-II.
