An Overview of Partial Genome Sequence of First Asiatic Phytoplasma Strain (SCGS)-Indian Isolate

P.G. Kawar, M.C. Pagariya, S.R. Patel, G.B. Dixit and D.T. Prasad
The lack of functional genomics information and genome heterogeneity of Asian phytoplasmas impedes the progress towards developing the control strategies. The genome analysis of the Sugarcane Grassy Shoot Phytoplasma (SCGS) inhabitant in Indian sub-continent will provide insights into the organism’s biology and comparative genome analysis with other phytoplasmas. The partial genome sequence of SCGS phytoplasma, the first Asiatic strain from Ca. P. oryzae group has been deciphered by genomic-SSH approach using DNA from infected plant as the tester and healthy as driver. The 83 SCGS fragments represented 50,692 nucleotides, corresponding to ~60% of the SCGS chromosome, comprising 425 predicted ORFs. Initial comparative genome analysis revealed that it contains 67 rRNAs, 13 tRNAs, four RNaseP and 341 predicted functional ORFs of which 48% ORFs not showing significant match, are potential SCGS-specific genes and are being analyzed further towards deciphering the molecular basis of virulence.
