Complete genome sequence of chicharrita del maíz iflavirus 1, a virus previously identified from transcriptomic data of the corn leafhopper ( Dalbulus maidis )

Key Points

This research aims to determine the complete genome sequence of chicharrita del maíz iflavirus 1.
Utilized RNAseq for genome sequencing
Applied PCR and RACE techniques
Extracted RNA from Dalbulus maidis (corn leafhopper)
Identified a complete genome encoding a 3,306-amino-acid polyprotein
Found conserved capsid and replication domains
Expanded understanding of iflavirus diversity in hemipteran vectors

Abstract

We report a complete genome of chicharrita del maiz iflavirus 1 from the United States, determined by RNAseq, PCR, and RACE in RNA extracted from Dalbulus maidis (corn leafhopper). The genome encodes a 3,306-amino-acid polyprotein with conserved capsid and replication domains, expanding knowledge of iflavirus diversity in hemipteran vectors.
