The nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of a Polish isolate of a potato leafroll virus was determined. Some variations between the determined sequences were observed. A comparison of the frequency of sequence variants in particular regions of the genome is presented. The nucleotide sequence reported will appear in the EMBL Data Library under the accession number X74789.
