Fig. 3. Maximum likelihood phylogeny of the Andean potato latent (APLV), Andean mild mosaic virus (APMMV), and tomato blistering mosaic (ToBlMV) clusters of tymoviruses based on their coat protein gene sequences. New sequence accession numbers from this study colored magenta. The color-coded ellipses show the provenance countries of each isolate. North to south, they are Colombia = gold; Ecuador = magenta edged with gold; Peru = magenta; Bolivia = magenta edged with green; Brazil = green; Argentina = blue; “Andes region” (i.e., country unspecified) = “autumn orange”; U.K. = gray.

#Tymoviruses likely emerged before the last Ice Age, first infecting brassicas in Eurasia and then diversifying in wild and cultivated solanaceous plants in the Americas. Phylogenetic and population analyses by Adrian J. Gibbs et al. trace their global spread: https://bit.ly/4u88eIJ

Scientists trace crop viruses back to the last Ice Age | AGDAILY A new study finds plant-infecting tymoviruses likely evolved before the last Ice Age and spread globally more recently through agricultural trade.
