RESUMEN
The complete genome of plum pox virus strain T isolates from five different Prunus spp., including almond (P. dulcis) and sour cherry (P. ceracus) isolates, was fully sequenced using the primer pairs designed in this study. The five isolates were aligned with other 50 PPV-T isolates whose complete genome sequences were available in GenBank and then subjected to phylogenetic and diversity analyses. Recombination analysis showed no significant signal detected in the five newly sequenced isolates while confirming four recombinant isolates reported in a previous study. Nucleotide and amino acid phylogenetic trees clustered the tested isolates into three major groups: Balkan 1, 2, and 3. Strain T isolates shared high nucleotide and amino acid identities among them. Diversity analysis applied different parameters to found that the sequences of P3 and 6K1 genes were more conserved over other genes. In accordance, the highly variable P1 and CP genes were found to experience weaker purifying pressures, ω = 0.127 and 0.219, respectively, than other genes. The three neutrality tests gave negative values to all genes, suggesting that strain T populations have expanding or bottleneck selections. Genetic make-up of the only known sour cherry isolate is highly identical to isolates from other Prunus spp. Therefore, this study has updated our knowledge of T strain diversity in new hosts and provided a clear picture of genetic variation and host relationships.

RESUMEN
The gene sequence data for apple mosaic virus (ApMV) in NCBI GenBank were analyzed to determine the phylogeny and population structure of the virus at a global level. The phylogenies of the movement protein (MP) and coat protein (CP) genes, encoded by RNA3, were shown to be identical and consisted of three lineages but did not closely correlate with those of P1 and P2, suggesting the presence of recombinant isolates. Recombination Detection Program (RDP v.4.56) detected significant recombination signal in the P1 region of K75R1 (KY883318) and Apple (HE574162) and the P2 region of Apple (HE574163) and CITH GD (MN822138). Observation on several diversity parameters suggested that the isolates in group 3 had higher divergence among them, compared to isolates in groups 1 and 2. The neutrality tests assigned positive values to P1, indicating that only this region experiencing balanced or contracting selection. Comparisons of the three phylogroups demonstrated high Fixation index (FST) values and confirmed genetic separation and the lack of gene flow among them. Additionally, ±500 bp of partial MP + 'intergenic region' + partial CP coding regions of two Turkish isolates from apple and seven from hazelnut were sequenced and determined that their phylogenetic positions fell within group 1 and 3, respectively.

A total of 112 symptomatic tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and 83 symptomatic pepper (Capsicum spp.) samples were collected in Ankara, Eskisehir, Bartin, and Zonguldak provinces of Turkey during 2020-2021. Six tomatoes and one pepper sample (3.6%) tested positive for tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV, genus Tobamovirus) infection by DAS-ELISA and RT-PCR. ToBRFV-positive tomato and pepper plants were removed from greenhouses as soon as possible, and the greenhouses and tools were disinfected completely. Phylogenetic analysis on the complete CP sequences suggested the clustering of 178 GenBank isolates and 7 novel isolates into three groups. A study using DnaSP software showed very low genetic variation among current global ToBRFV isolates. All four ORFs of the virus genome were under strong negative evolutionary constraints, with a ω value range of 0.0869-0.2066. However, three neutrality tests indicated that most populations of the newly identified ToBRFV are currently expanding by assigning statistically significant negative values to them. The very low FST values (0.25 or less) obtained by all comparisons of the isolates from Europe, the Middle East, China, and America concluded that there is no clear genetic separation among currently known isolates from different geographic origins. The divergence time of ToBRFV was estimated to be in the middle of the course of the evolution of 11 tested tobamoviruses. The time to the most recent common ancestors (TMRCAs) of ToBRFV were calculated to be 0.8 and 1.87 with the genetically closest members of Tobamovirus. The results of this study could improve our understanding on the population structure of the emerging ToBRFV.
RESUMEN
The genome sequence of Southern tomato virus in asymptomatic Solanum lycopersicum 'Sweet Hearts' (STV-Florida) in Florida was assembled from small RNAs sequenced by Illumina RNA-seq. The STV-Florida genome shared 99.0 to 99.9% similarity with full genome sequences from Bangladesh, China, Mexico, and the United States (Mississippi and North Carolina).
