Improved diagnostic tools for the detection badnaviruses in yams unveil the existence of endogenous sequences of extant badnavirus species in yams. [O.36]

Using PCR, EGV1 and EGV2 rep sequences were only detected in yam species belonging to the Enantiophyllum clade of Dioscorea, all of which originate from Asia and Africa ( Table 1

Complete genomes of two distinct viral species were assembled from 454 and Illumina deep sequencing reads obtained on yam accessions from CRB PT’s germplasm collection: a novel

Sequence name Accession number Amplification method Primers Size (bp) Plant of origin (y am species) Also present in: (y am species) Related RT -RNaseH part† eDBV group‡ G1Dr

Phylogenetic analyses confirmed the existence in yams of one new viral species within the genus Potexvirus (tentatively named Yam virus X, YVX) and one within the

A wide range of badnavirus sequences belonging to 13 distinct viral species were amplified from genomic DNA of severalyam species when using badnavirus degenerate primers

Within the framework of the DEVAG project (Caribbean network for the development of agroecological horticultural systems) funded by the INTERREG IV Caribbean program,

Based on multiple lines of evidence, such as (i) seed transmission of the two EGV sequences, (ii) no amplification by rolling circle amplification, (iii)
