Biological and Molecular Properties of a Begomovirus from Dicliptera sexangularis

ABSTRACT Sixangle foldwing, Dicliptera sexangularis (Acanthaceae), showing severe yellow mottle and leaf distortion symptoms was collected from the shoreline of Calusa Island (Lee County, FL). The putative virus was transmitted from infected D. sexangularis to healthy seedlings by mechanical, whitefly (Bemisia tabaci biotype B), and graft-inoculations. Different forms of geminivirus-like DNAs were detected in total DNA extracted from infected plants by Southern blot hybridization analyses using DNA-A and -B of Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) from Guatemala as probes. Preliminary polymerase chain reaction experiments and sequence comparisons indicated that the virus was a distinct bipartite begomovirus. The virus was designated Dicliptera yellow mottle virus (DiYMV). Replicative dsDNAs of DiYMV were extracted, digested with selected restriction enzymes, and cloned into a plasmid vector. Both DNA-A and -B were sequenced and compared with those of other begomoviruses. Phylogenetic analyses using AV1, AC1, and BV1 nucleotide sequences indicated that DiYMV has a close relationship with the New World begomoviruses, especially those distributed in the nearby geographic areas of the Florida coast and the Caribbean Basin. However, different percent nucleotide sequence identities and phylogenetic relationships were detected when different open reading frames (ORFs) of DiYMV were compared with their counterparts from begomoviruses from the Caribbean Basin. Based on phylogenetic analyses of the AC1 and BV1 ORFs, DiYMV was closely related to BGMV type II isolates, whereas sequence comparisons of the common region and the AC4-derived amino acid sequences indicated its close relationship with Potato yellow mosaic virus from Venezuela.

trans-Dominant Inhibition of Geminiviral DNA Replication by Bean Golden Mosaic Geminivirus rep Gene Mutants

ABSTRACT Geminiviruses are a group of single-stranded DNA viruses that cause major losses on a number of important crops throughout the world. Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) is a typical bipartite, whitefly-transmitted geminivirus that causes a severe disease on beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) in the Western Hemisphere. The lack of natural resistance to geminiviruses has led to attempts to engineer resistance, particularly through the use of pathogen-derived resistance strategies. The rep gene contains several conserved domains including nucleoside triphosphate (NTP)-binding and DNA-nicking domains and is the only geminiviral gene necessary for replication. Previous analysis by our group and others has demonstrated that the NTP-binding and DNA-nicking domains are necessary for geminiviral DNA replication. The ability of the rep gene and rep gene mutants to interfere with geminiviral DNA replication, when expressed in trans, was examined using a transient assay in a tobacco suspension cell culture system. Wild-type (wt) and mutant rep genes were cloned into plasmids under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter for in planta expression and coinoculated into tobacco cells with infectious clones of various geminiviruses. The wt rep gene from BGMV-GA was able to support replication of BGMV-GA DNA-B. Several different rep gene mutants, with function-abolishing mutations in the NTP-binding or DNA-nicking domains, were potent trans-dominant inhibitors of geminiviral DNA replication.     

Bean golden yellow mosaic virus from Chiapas, Mexico: Characterization, Pseudorecombination with Other Bean-Infecting Geminiviruses and Germ Plasm Screening

ABSTRACT The complete nucleotide (nt) sequences of the cloned DNA-A (2644 nts) and DNA-B (2609 nts) components of Bean golden yellow mosaic virus (BGYMV-MX) from Chiapas, Mexico were determined. The genome organization of BGYMV-MX is similar to that of other Western Hemisphere bipartite geminiviruses (genus Begomovirus). Infectivity of the cloned BGYMV-MX DNA components in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants was demonstrated by particle bombardment and agroinoculation. BGYMV-MX was identified as a BGYMV (previously type II BGMV) isolate based on sequence analyses, sap-transmissibility, and pseudorecombination experiments with other bean-infecting begomoviruses. On the basis of differences in the DNA-B hypervariable region, symptom phenotype, and properties of infectious pseudorecombinants, BGYMV-MX may represent a distinct strain of BGYMV. Pseudorecombination experiments further established that BGYMV symptom determinants mapped to DNA-B, and that BGYMV-MX was most closely related to BGYMV from Guatemala. A Tomato leaf crumple virus (TLCrV) DNA-A/BGYMV-MX DNA-B pseudorecombinant was infectious in bean, establishing that a viable reassortant can be formed between begomovirus species from different phylogenetic clusters. Bean germ plasm representing the two major gene pools (Andean and Mesoamerican) was screened for response to BGYMV-MX with three methods of inoculation: sap-inoculation, particle bombardment, and agroinoculation. Andean germ plasm was very susceptible and similar results were obtained with all three methods, whereas Mesoamerican germ plasm showed resistance to BGYMV-MX, particularly with agroinoculation.     

Tomato dwarf leaf curl virus, a new bipartite geminivirus associated with tomatoes and peppers in Jamaica and mixed infection with tomato yellow leaf curl virus

Genomic characterization using nonradioactive probes, polymerase chain reaction with degenerate primers for whitefly transmitted geminiviruses and nucleotide sequencing were used to describe a new bipartite geminivirus, associated with dwarfing and leaf curling of tomatoes and peppers in Jamaica. Partial DNA-A and DNA-B clones were obtained. DNA sequence analysis showed that tomato and pepper samples have a similar geminivirus associated with them. Nucleotide sequence identity > 92% between the common regions of DNA-A and DNA-B confirmed the bipartite nature of the Jamaican geminivirus isolates. Nucleotide sequence comparisons of DNA-A and DNA-B with those of geminiviruses representing the major phylogenetic groups of Western Hemisphere geminiviruses showed the greatest similarity to potato yellow mosaic virus and members of the Abutilon mosaic virus cluster of geminiviruses. This new virus is given the name tomato dwarf leaf curl virus (TDLCV) because of the dwarfing and leaf curling symptoms associated with infected tomato plants. Polymerase chain reaction and Southern hybridization showed mixed infections of TDLCV with tomato yellow leaf curl virus from Israel in 16% of the field samples of tomatoes and peppers.

Two Newly Described Begomoviruses of Macroptilium lathyroides and Common Bean

ABSTRACT Macroptilium lathyroides, a perennial weed in the Caribbean region and Central America, is a host of Macroptilium yellow mosaic Florida virus (MaYMFV) and Macroptilium mosaic Puerto Rico virus (MaMPRV). The genomes of MaYMFV and MaMPRV were cloned from M. lathyroides and/or field-infected bean and the DNA sequences were determined. Cloned A and B components for both viruses were infectious when inoculated to M. lathyroides and common bean. Comparison of the DNA sequences for cloned A and B components with well-studied begomovirus indicated that MaMPRV (bean and M. lathyroides) and MaYMFV (M. lathyroides) are unique, previously undescribed begomo-viruses from the Western Hemisphere. Phylogenetic analysis of viral A components indicated that the closest relative of MaYMFV are members of the Bean golden yellow mosaic virus (BGYMV) group, at 76 to 78% nucleotide identity, whereas the closest relative for the A component of MaMPRV was Rhynchosia golden mosaic virus at 78% nucleotide identity. In contrast, BGYMV is the closest relative for the B component of both MaYMFV and MaMPRV, with which they share approximately 68.0 and approximately 72% identity, respectively. The incongruent taxonomic placement for the bipartite components for MaMPRV indicates that they did not evolve entirely along a common path. MaYMFV and MaMPRV caused distinctive symptoms in bean and M. lathyroides and were transmissible by the whitefly vector and by grafting; however, only MaYMFV was mechanically transmissible. The experimental host range for the two viruses was similar and included species within the families Fabaceae and Malvaceae, but only MaYMFV infected Malva parviflora and soybean. These results collectively indicate that MaMPRV and MaYMFV are new, previously undescribed species of the BGYMV group, a clade previously known to contain only strains and isolates of BGYMV from the Caribbean region that infect Phaseolus spp. Both MaYMFV and MaMPRV may pose an economic threat to bean production in the region.     

Distribution and incidence of faba bean necrotic yellows virus in Jordan

Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV) was isolated from naturally infected faba bean plants in Jordan. The identification was based on host range, mode of transmission, symptomatology and serological properties. FBNYV occurred naturally in several leguminous crops including cultivated legumes and wild forage legumes, such as species of Medicago , Trifolium and Lathyrus . and infected other plant species belonging to the Malvaceae, such as Malva parviflora and Hibiscus esculentus . Such hosts may act as important natural reservoirs for both the virus and its aphid vectors. This is the first report of infection of M. parviflora and H. esculentus with FBNYV. The virus was not recovered from samples taken from some cultivated crops, including squash, cucumber, tomato, eggplant and pepper, growing near to faba bean fields. Also, it was not detected in commercial faba bean seeds collected from local companies or in seeds collected from infected faba bean plants. It was transmitted efficiently by Aphis craccivora . Serological testing of 1392 samples from faba beans showing virus-like symptoms and collected randomly from 16 locations (fields) in the Jordan Valley and Jarash areas showed that FBNYV occurred in 54.5% of the samples. These results indicate that FBNYV was an important pathogen of beans during the growing season of 1996 in Jordan.

Detection and identification of Clerodendron golden mosaic China virus in Salvia splendens

Two viral DNAs were obtained by rolling circle amplification conducted on DNA extracts from salvia (Salvia splendens) cv. ‘Dancing Flame’ showing variegated foliage resembling virus symptoms. Sequence analyses revealed the presence of an isolate of the putative begomovirus Clerodendron golden mosaic China virus. The virus was detected in all salvia plants showing variegated foliage, but not in non-variegated plants. The virus was graft-transmitted to healthy salvias which reproduced the original symptoms. Attempts to transmit the virus with the whitefly Bemisia tabaci biotype B failed. The results of this investigation strongly suggest that the salvia isolate of Clerodendron golden mosaic China virus (ClGMCNV-Sal[USA:LA:11]) is the cause of the variegated foliage of S. splendens cv. ‘Dancing Flame’. This is the first report of this virus in the United States.

Partial characterization of a bipartite begomovirus infecting yellow passion flower in Brazil

During the spring of 2001, approximately 10 000 yellow passion flower plants, from two orchards in the county of Livramento de Nossa Senhora, Bahia State, Brazil, exhibited intense yellow mosaic symptoms and drastic reduction of the leaf lamina and plant development. A large population of whiteflies ( Bemisia tabaci ) was also found colonizing the plants. All field samples collected tested positive for Passion fruit woodiness virus in DAS-ELISA. Five out of 20 passion flower plants inoculated with adult whiteflies collected from diseased plants in the field developed symptoms 20–30 days after inoculation. Two of these plants gave a positive reaction in TAS-ELISA using antiserum against a begomovirus. Degenerated PCR primers amplified viral DNA fragments from the DNA-A and DNA-B components of a begomovirus infecting these plants. The fragment corresponding to the core region of the coat protein (DNA-A) was cloned and sequenced. A phylogenetic analysis placed this begomovirus isolated from passion flower in the same clade of the New World begomoviruses as several other species from Brazil. Based on the symptoms induced by this virus alone, the disease was tentatively named passion flower little leaf mosaic.

Tomato leaf curl Karnataka virus from Bangalore, India, Appears to be a Recombinant Begomovirus

ABSTRACT The genome of Tomato leaf curl virus (ToLCV) from Bangalore, India, a whitefly-transmitted geminivirus, was cloned (pIND9) and sequenced. The circular DNA of 2,759 nucleotides (U38239) is organized similarly to that of other begomoviruses with monopartite genomes. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence of pIND9 with other tomato-associated begomoviruses from India (Tomato leaf curl Bangalore virus [ToLCBV, Z48182]) and Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus-Severe (ToLCNdV-Svr, U15015) showed moderate DNA sequence identities (82 to 87%) between capsid protein (CP) genes but low identities (66 to 67%) for the intergenic regions and the replication-associated protein (Rep) genes (75 to 81% identity). Phylogenetic trees generated with nucleotide sequences of the Rep and CP genes of 26 begomoviruses indicated that this ToLCV is distinct from other begomoviruses and that it may be a recombinant virus derived from at least three different viral lineages. Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) inoculated with the cloned DNA monomer of ToLCV (pIND9) via particle bombardment developed leaf curling and yellowing symptoms. The virus was transmitted by Bemisia tabaci biotype B from tomatoes infected via particle bombardment to healthy tomatoes and by sap inoculation from infected tomatoes to tomato, Nicotiana benthamiana and N. tabacum. This ToLCV is a distinct member of the genus Begomovirus from India that differs from the previously characterized Tomato leaf curl Sadasivanagar virus isolate Bangalore 1 (L12739), ToLCBV (Z48182), ToLCBV isolate Bangalore 4 (AF165098), and the bipartite ToLCNdV (U15015, U15016). Thus, this ToLCV is named Tomato leaf curl Karnataka virus (ToLCKV).
