Methods: In this research, Medicago ruthenica was used as the research material and 11,581 high-quality transcript gene sequences were selected from transcriptome data. Codon usage patterns and preferences were analyzed using software such as CodonW, R and Excel. Result: The study revealed that the effective number of codons (ENC) ranged from 28.8 to 61.0. The average GC content of codons in expressed genes of Medicago ruthenica was 0.40 and the average GC content of the third nucleotide position of synonymous codons (GC3s) was 0.33. Analysis through ENC-plot, neutrality plot and bias analysis suggested that codon usage bias in the Medicago ruthenica transcriptome may be the result of a combination of factors including selection and mutation. Fifteen optimal codons were selected, with ten ending in ‘A’ and five ending in ‘U’, indicating a preference for ‘A/U’ ending codons in the Medicago ruthenica transcriptome. The frequency of codon usage in Medicago ruthenica was compared to five other organisms, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Glycine max, Nicotiana tabacum, yeast and Escherichia coli, revealing significant differences with E. coli and relatively smaller differences with Nicotiana tabacum.\u0000","PeriodicalId":17998,"journal":{"name":"LEGUME RESEARCH - AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL","volume":"323 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140471857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marechal) is characterized as one of the most drought hardy, short duration, annual legume crop. It is mainly grown in Northern districts of Karnataka. Moth bean crop suffers from many diseases viz., yellow mosaic, bacterial blight, root rot, anthracnose and powdery mildew. Moth bean is targeted by YMV which causes severe damage to grain and fodder yields. Since not much work has been carried out on characterization of moth bean yellow mosaic virus in Northern Karnataka, an attempt was made to partially characterize coat protein gene of Moth Bean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MBYMV). Methods: The total genomic DNA was extracted from leaf tissues of healthy moth bean plants and yellow mosaic virus infected plants utilizing by modified CTAB method. Specific primers for yellow mosaic viruses were tried to amplify coat protein region of MBYMV. Result: Moth bean leaf samples showing yellow mosaic symptoms gave positive results with MYMV specific primer pairs (MYMV-CP-F/MYMV-CP-R) and yielded amplicons of ~1000 bp. The 1000 bp PCR products were directly sequenced and assembled. Phylogenetic tree based on full length coat protein gene sequence of MBYMV with other geminiviruses sequences downloaded from NCBI Genbank formed three major clusters of MYMV, HgYMV and MYMIV.
