Abstract: To identify the pathotype of PMMoV infecting processing pepper in Xinjiang, some disease samples collected from southern Bavaria were detected by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (DAS-ELISA) and identified with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), cloning and sequence analysis. The results showed that PMMoV was detected from pepper plants, pepper fruit and seed samples. Three target amplified fragments with sizes of 576 bp were cloned, sequenced and analyzed. The results indicated that the similarity of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of CP gene showed highly identity between PMMoV–XJ isolates and that have been reported, sharing of 89.0%- 99.2% and 95.5%- 100.0% sequences identity respectively, and was most closely related to PMMoV- Israel strain EF434393. High sequence identities of CP gene were showed among Xinjiang isolates. Phylogenetic analysis based on the sequences of CP gene, the PMMoV isolates in Xinjiang processing pepper were belonged to P1,2 pathotype.
