Abstract

Two divergent isolates of turnip yellows virus (TuYV) were identified in pea and rapeseed. The nearly complete genome sequences of the virus isolates share 93.3% nucleotide identity with each other and 89.7% and 92.9% with their closest isolate from South Africa. Additionally, a turnip yellows virus-associated RNA was identified.
