Table 1.

Tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid (TCDVd) sequence variant population structure, occurrence frequency and nucleotide variation in TCDVd isolate Trust-infected tomato plants.

Sequence variant Size (nt) Occurrence frequency (%) Nucleotide difference from the reference sequence a
Plant 1 Plant 2
AF162131 360 n/a n/a n/a
I 360 66.7 65.7 No variation
II 360 33.3 28.6 178 (U to A); 182 (C to U); 183 (A to U)
III 360 0 2.9 165 (U to C)
IV 360 0 2.9 149 (A to G)
Haplotype diversity b 0.500 ± 0.128 0.499 ± 0.071
Nucleotide diversity c 0.00417 ± 0.00107 0.00382 ± 0.00057

a AF162131 was used as a reference sequence. Nucleotide differences in each variant were indicated in relation to the reference sequence at positions in the reference; b/c Haplotype and nucleotide diversities were calculated using the software DnaSP v5; n/a: not applicable.
