ABSTRACT
Ornithogalum thyrsoides, a widely cultivated bulbous ornamental plant endemic to South Africa, has significant commercial value as a pot plant and for the production of cut flowers. However, infection by viruses threatens the success of commercial cultivation, as symptoms negatively affect the appearance of the plant and flowers. To date, four Ornithogalum-infecting viruses have been reported. Complete genome sequence data are available for three of these viruses, but the genome of the potyvirus ornithogalum virus 3 (OV3) has not been fully sequenced. In this study, the complete sequence of OV3 was determined by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and validated by Sanger sequencing. Based on recognition of protease cleavage patterns and multiple sequence alignments with closely related viruses, the polyprotein of OV3 was predicted to be proteolytically cleaved to produce 10 mature peptides containing domains conserved in members of the genus Potyvirus. Phylogenetic analysis and species demarcation criteria confirm the previous classification of OV3 as a member of a separate species in this genus. This is the first report of a complete genome sequence of OV3.
