Identification of the Coding-Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Cytorhabdovirus in Tilia cordata Showing Extensive Leaf Chloroses

Here, we report the coding-complete sequence (14,152 nucleotides [nt]) of a novel cytorhabdovirus detected in Tilia cordata and tentatively named cytorhabdovirus tiliae. The assumed genome organization is 3′-N-P-P3-M-G-p6-p6’-L-5′. The N gene encodes the putative nucleoprotein (59.1 kDa), P encodes the phosphoprotein (34.7 kDa), P3 encodes the movement protein (23.1 kDa), M encodes the matrix protein (23.1 kDa), G encodes a glycoprotein (64.4 kDa), and L encodes the viral RNA polymerase (247 kDa). P6 and P6’ are overlapping open reading frames (ORFs), which may encode gene products of 7.9 and 9.5 kDa, respectively, of unknown functions.
