Abstract

Pepper golden mosaic virus (PepGMV) is a plant virus that occurs worldwide on species of open fields and greenhouses that grown bell pepper. During a survey in Summer 2023 in pepper greenhouses of the Isfahan Province, central Iran, bell pepper plants were observed showing begomovirus-like symptoms, such as leaf curling, severe mosaic, bushy growth, and reduced leaf size. PCR products of the expected size (500 bp) corresponding to the region of the coat protein of begomoviruses were obtained from all of the symptomatic samples. Furthermore, to investigate the potential association of a betasatellite with an Iranian PepGMV isolate, a 1250 bp fragment of the betasatellite genome was successfully amplified from pepper sample collected in the Isfahan Provinces, using universal betasatellite primer pair Beta01/Beta02. This study highlights the initial report of PepGMV and the associated betasatellite infecting pepper plants in Iran.
