Characterization of badnaviruses infecting Dioscorea spp. in the Pacific reveals two putative novel species and the first report of dioscorea bacilliform RT virus 2

Amit C. Sukal, +4 more
- 15 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: The complete genome sequences of three new badnaviruses associated with yam originating from Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Samoa were determined following rolling circle amplification of the virus genomes, andylogenetic analysis revealed the sequences to be closely related to other Dioscorea-infecting badNaviruses.
Book Chapter

Agriculture and climate change: an overview

Mary Taylor, +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the impact of climate change on agriculture and provide an insight into how crops in the Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) are likely to respond to climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment and optimization of rolling circle amplification protocols for the detection and characterization of badnaviruses

Amit C. Sukal, +5 more
- 01 Mar 2019 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have assessed and optimized various RCA protocols including random-primed RCA (RP-RCA), primer-spiked RCA, specific-specific RCA and directed RCA to detect a range of badnavirus infecting banana, sugar cane, taro and yam.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of a novel member of the family Caulimoviridae infecting Dioscorea nummularia in the Pacific, which may represent a new genus of dsDNA plant viruses.

Amit C. Sukal, +4 more
- 12 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: The genome size, organization, and presence of conserved amino acid domains are similar to other viruses in the family Caulimoviridae, however, based on nucleotide sequence similarity and phylogenetic analysis, DNUaV appears to be a distinct novel member of the family and may represent a new genus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and molecular characterization of Taro bacilliform virus and Taro bacilliform CH virus from East Africa.

Dawit B. Kidanemariam, +7 more
- 01 Dec 2018 - 
TL;DR: This is the first report describing the occurrence and genome organization of TaBV and TaBCHV isolates from East Africa and the first full-length sequence of the two viruses from tannia.
