See PDF.] Datura inoxia showing leaf curl symptoms in Lakshmangarh, Rajasthan in 2011 Sequence analysis of the virus under study showed 82–83 % nucleotide sequence identity with the corresponding region of Chilli leaf curl virus (FM210476), Tomato leaf curl virus (AJ810360), and Croton yellow vein virus (FN543112). In neighbor-joining tree, the coat protein gene of the virus in datura leaf curl formed a separate monophyletic cluster with a low bootstrap value (Fig. 2). See PDF.] Neighbor-Joining tree based on the partial sequence of coat protein gene (JN000702), of the virus isolate obtained from leaf curl disease of Datura inoxia (DaLC) and other begomovirus sequences available in GenBank.
