Recombination pattern of Potato virus Y genome. (A) Color figure of each lineage and recombination pattern of Iranian isolates. (B) Graphs showing SISCAN Version 2 analysis of the full-length sequence of Iranian isolate (IRNH172) with that of EF026074 (Blue line) as well as X97895 (Red line). X and Y axes represent Z-value and genome nucleotides, respectively. The sequences of EF026074 and X97895 represent the likely parental sequences of IRNH172. Iranian recombinant isolate (IRNH172) was more closely related to EF026074 between approximately 190 to 2,244 nt, and 8,977 to 9,703 nt; and more closely related to X97895 between 5,581 to 8,977 nt (i.e. Z-value >3.0).
