Abstract Grapevine Pinot gris virus (GPGV) has been reported infecting grapevines (Vitis spp.) in several countries of the world. In this study, 19.5% of grapevine samples collected in Brazil and indexed for GPGV by RT-qPCR was infected. The complete coat protein and the partial replicase genes of two Brazilian isolates (CF-BR and ME-BR) were sequenced and exhibited very high nucleotide and deduced amino acid identities with many foreign characterized isolates of GPGV available in the GenBank. This is the first detection of GPGV infecting grapevines in Brazil. Ausführliche Beschreibung
