Phylogeny and recombination of Cotton leaf curl Multan Betasatellite (CLCuMuB). (A) Phylogenetic dendrogram has been shown to indicate four strains of CLCuMuB; Burewala strain (CLCuMuBBur), Vehari strain (CLCUMuBVeh), Shahdadpur strain (CLCuMuBSha), and Multan Strain (CLCuMuBMul). The phylogenetic tree is based on the information from Akhtar et al. [39] and Zubair et al. [36]. (B) The recombination pattern of CLCuMuB. Genomic architecture of CLCuMuB has been described with coordinates of satellite conserved region (SCR), adenine-rich region (A-rich), and βC1 gene. The recombinant strains of CLCuMuB (CLCuMuBBur and CLCuMuBSha) have been shown with representative accessions. CLCuMuBBur contains a recombinant sequence within the SCR derived from a distinct betasatellite, Tomato leaf curl betasatellite (ToLCB). CLCuMuBSha also contains a smaller recombinant fragment within the SCR derived from ToLCB. The recombination pattern is inspired from Akhtar et al. [39].
