FIGURE 5.

Phylogenetic tree showing the relationships among the novel satellite molecules described in this work (Ipomoea and Merremia satellites) and all other deltasatellites. Sequences retrieved from GenBank include small satellites associated with New World begomoviruses infecting Malvaceae, ToLCV-sat, a satellite isolated from Croton bonplandianus in India (India-Cb1), and a satellite isolated from Malvastrum coromandelianum in Philippines (Philippines-Mc1). The tree was constructed using the Neighbor-Joining method with MEGA 6. Only bootstrap values higher than 70% are shown. The Ipomoea satellite sub-tree, compressed in (A), is expanded in (B). In (B), SB stands for I. batatas satellites (in orange) and SI stands for I. indica satellites (in purple). The ToLCV-sat nucleotide sequence was randomly shuffled and used as an outgroup. See Table 2 and Supplementary Table 1 for details on the analyzed sequences.
