It is found almost everywhere in the world where Allium species is grown. The aim of this study was to test the presence of OYDV infection in garlic from Ethiopia. The presence of the virus was tested by Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The direct sequencing of the PCR product produced a sequence of 296 bp. Sequence analysis showed 89.27% sequence homology with an isolate from Australia (HQ258894) and 89.29% with an isolate from Spain (JX429964). A phylogenetic tree constructed with MEGA 7.0 revealed high levels of homology with various isolates of OYDV from all over the world and thus further confirmed the identity of the virus.}, type={Short communication}, title={Molecular characterization of the partial coat protein gene of an Onion yellow dwarf virus isolate detected in garlic (Allium sativum L.) from the West Shewa zone of Ethiopia}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/115498/PDF/RC_01_JPPR_60_1_422_Kebede.pdf}, doi={10.24425/jppr.2020.132205}, keywords={garlic, Onion yellow dwarf virus, partial coat protein gene, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)}, }
