Abstract Citrus Tristeza Virus (CTV), usually occurs in nature as a mixture of genotypes. Six naturally infected citrus
(Citrus sinensis) trees grafted on sour orange rootstock were collected from three citrus growing governorates
in Egypt (Sharqia, Qalyubia and Garbia). In this study, RT-PCR, Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism
(SSCP) and nucleotide sequence analysis were used for four independent CTV genomic regions (p65, p18,
p20, and p23) to detect and assess the sequence and genetic variabilities among CTV Egyptian isolates. RTPCR products (650 bp) for the CTV p23 gene obtained from the selected isolates were used for the SSCP analysis… More >
