Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV), a nematode-transmitted virus belonging to the genus Nepovirus, is the major pathogen responsible for fanleaf degeneration, one of the most widespread and damaging viral diseases of grapevine. The virus is characterized by a genome constituted by two single positive sense RNAs (RNA1 and RNA2), coding for two polyproteins. Here we investigated the genetic variability of the movement and coat protein genes (2BMP and 2CCP) of Italian GFLV isolates by sequencing analyses. The presence of high molecular heterogeneity between our isolates suggests that GFLV comprises a family of sequence variants. © 2014 The Phytopathological Society of Japan and Springer Japan.

Abstract
Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV), a nematode-transmitted virus belonging to the genus Nepovirus, is the major pathogen responsible for fanleaf degeneration, one of the most widespread and damaging viral diseases of grapevine. The virus is characterized by a genome constituted by two single positive sense RNAs (RNA1 and RNA2), coding for two polyproteins. Here we investigated the genetic variability of the movement and coat protein genes (2BMP and 2CCP) of Italian GFLV isolates by sequencing analyses. The presence of high molecular heterogeneity between our isolates suggests that GFLV comprises a family of sequence variants. © 2014 The Phytopathological Society of Japan and Springer Japan.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
