Implications for Plant Resistance Development 2007 .txt text/plain 6282 290 39 The potential of begomoviruses to generate genetic diversity through recombination can be relevant for their ecological fitness, because greater sequence heterogeneity provides a reservoir of virus variants in the population that enables rapid adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Thus, begomoviruses like those in the Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) complex exploit gene flow provided by recombination as a mechanism to increase their evolutionary potential and local adaptation. Also, when region I was analyzed, phylogenetic analyses revealed that all TYLCV isolates grouped in a single clade related to Tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus (TYLCSV), another species of the TYLCV complex causing the TYLCD. Tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus (TYLCSV) is another monopartite begomovirus species of the TYLCV complex that comprises isolates infecting tomato in the Mediterranean Basin, both in southern Europe and northern Africa (Noris et al., 1994; . ./cache/cord-017158-w2tlq6ho.txt ./txt/cord-017158-w2tlq6ho.txt
