Abstract

An analysis of the complete genome sequence of a novel isolate of tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) obtained from tomatoes in Iran and named ToBRFV-Ir is presented in this study. Comprehensive phylogenetic analysis utilizing key viral proteins, including 126 KDa, 183 KDa, movement protein (MP), and coat protein (CP), as well as the complete genome sequence, classified ToBRFV-Ir and 65 isolates from GenBank into three distinct clades. Notably, genetic diversity assessment revealed relatively low variability among the isolates, irrespective of their geographical or clade affiliation. Natural selection analysis based on the complete genome sequence showed that dN/dS values were consistently <1, indicating the prevailing role of negative selection across all populations. Analyses using the Recombination Detection Program and SplitsTree found no evidence of recombination events or signals in the complete genome sequence of the tested isolates. Thus, these results suggest that the genetic composition of ToBRFV remains stable without significant genetic exchange or recombination events occurring. A simple arithmetic comparison of the patristic distances and dates suggested that the time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) of the ToBRFV populations is approximately 0.8 up to 2.7 with the closest tobamoviruses. An evolutionary study of the tested isolates from various countries based on the complete genome suggests Peruvian ancestry. The ToBRF-Ir isolate was successfully transmitted through mechanical inoculations to Solanum lycopersicum and Nicotiana rustica. These findings shed light on the genetic dynamics and transmission mechanisms of ToBRFV, providing valuable insights into its molecular characteristics and potential spread among susceptible plant species.
