Garden croton (Codiaeum variegatum L.) plants showing typical begomovirus symptoms of vein twisting, enation and curling were collected from different gardens at Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh state of India ranged from 20 to 30%. All the 10 ten (CR1-CR10) infected samples of garden croton resulted in expected amplicon of 1.2 Kb in PCR specific to begomoviruses. No amplification was obtained for betasatellite and alphasatellite specific primers. The complete genome sequence of DNA-A and DNA-B for two isolates (CR1 and CR2) was obtained through rolling cycle amplification (RCA) and comparisons were made with other begomoviruses using Sequence Demarcation Tool (SDT) which revealed that, DNA-A of two isolates, CR1 (Acc.No.: MW816855) and CR2 (Acc.No.: MW816856) showed maximum nucleotide (nt) identity of 85.7–85.9% with Tomato leaf curl Karnataka virus, which is below the threshold percentage of begomovirus species demarcation, hence considered as novel begomovirus and proposed the name Garden croton enation leaf curl virus (CroELCuV) [IN: Varanasi: Croton: 18]. Further, DNA-B these isolates shared maximum nt identity of 91.0–92.2% (DNA-B) with Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus. Recombination and GC plot analysis showed that the recombination occured at in low GC content regions of DNA-A and DNA-B of the CroELCuV and are derived from the previously reported several begomoviruses. This is the first record of novel bipartite begomovirus associated with vein twisting, enation and leaf curling of disease of garden garden croton in India and world.
