To study the diversity of TYLCV, DNA of eight positive samples from this survey was used for rolling-circle amplification, cloning and sequencing. Pairwise nucleotide sequence comparisons with complete genomes showed that the Iraqi TYLCV isolates belonged to the strains TYLCV-IL and TYLCV-Mld. In a phylogenetic analysis, the Iraqi TYLCV-IL isolates grouped into three distinct clades, consisting of TYLCV-IL (A) and the two new variants TYLCV-IL (D) and TYLCV-IL (E). The Iraqi isolate of TYLCV-Mld grouped into the newly proposed TYLCV-Mld (D) variant. For one sample, sequencing also revealed co-infection with tomato leaf curl Palampur virus (ToLCPalV). The phylogenetic tree of ToLCPalV DNA-A showed a close relationship between the isolates of different hosts from Iraq and Iran. No evidence of recombination was detected in ToLCPalV DNA-A, but recombination was observed for the TYLCV isolates.

In this study, a purple pericarp durum wheat accession (Purple durum) was challenged with <i>Fusarium graminearum</i> infection, evaluating the different responses of physiological traits, in comparison with an FHB-resistant line (DBC-480) and a commercial FHB-susceptible cultivar (Svevo). Purple durum showed high susceptibility to FHB, but the infection did not affect the seed set, as for the resistant control. In Purple durum flag leaves, lower flavonoid content and higher temperature depression, compared to the resistant control, were detected. The infection affected the difference between the spike temperature and the flag leaf temperature in the resistant and the susceptible control in an opposite way, while the total phenolic content was always higher in the infected spikes. Instead, the total anthocyanin content (TAC) of the spikes was considerably lower in Purple durum subjected to the infection compared to the mock plants, while TAC increased in the infected resistant genotype, suggesting an involvement of anthocyanins in the resistance mechanism of DBC-480.
