Abstract: The 3′ terminal genomic 1620 nucleotides of the Lettuce mosaic virus Beijing isolate (LMV-BJ) from China was determined (the GenBank accession number is EF423619). The sequence started within a single open reading frame which was expected to encode a part of the C-terminus of the NIb protein of 190 amino acids by 574 nucleotides, complete capsid protein (CP) of 277 amino acids encoded by 834 nucleotides and followed by a 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of 209 nucleotides. The nucleotide and amino acid sequence identity of 3′ terminal regions and cp gene among LMV-BJ and other five previously reported isolates from France O(X97704), France E(X97705), USA(X65652), Brazil(AJ278854), Yuhang(AJ306288)were compared.
