In this study, the non-structural NSs gene and the 50UTRs of these two biologically distinct tospoviruses were cloned and sequenced. The NSs sequence of GRSV and ZLCV were both 1,404 nucleotides long. Pairwise comparison showed that the NSs amino acid sequence of GRSV shared 69.6% identity with that of ZLCV and 75.9% identity with that of TSWV, while the NSs sequence of ZLCV and TSWV shared 67.9% identity. Phylogenetic analysis based on NSs sequences confirmed that these viruses cluster in the American clade. aTospovirus aVĂ­rus1 aLEASTRO, M. O.1 aLIMA, M. F.1 aINOUE-NAGATA, A. K.1 aRESENDE, R.
