引起重庆主栽柑桔品种衰退病的病毒株系组群分析

 柑桔衰退病毒(CTV)存在着许多生物学特性不同的株系。通过铲除感染强毒株植株或利用弱毒株交叉保护的方式来防治柑桔衰退病都需要对CTV株系进行准确、可靠的鉴定。本文根据对CTV衣壳蛋白基因(CPG)的限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)分析,发现在重庆主栽柑桔品种的衰退病毒主要以CP/Hinf I RFLP第1、3和6组群为主,并且在田间以多株系混合感染为主。

为检测江西柑橘主产区柑橘衰退病毒分离株组群的构成情况,运用限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)对收集自江西柑橘14个主产区果园的CTV分离株进行分析。发现209份样品的CP/HinfⅠ酶切结果中182份样品表现出单一CP/HinfⅠRFLP谱型,占鉴定样品总数的87.1%,其中以CP/HinfⅠRFLP第3和第1组群的分离株构成为主,分别占样品总数的55.5%和26.8%;混合CP/HinfⅠRFLP组群样品占12.9%。本次检测中发现有1个分离株为第4组群,5个分离株为第5组群,可能为潜在的弱毒分离株。本次试验中检测的江西柑橘样品以CTV单一组群感染为主。     

毒源和寄主对褐色桔蚜传播柑桔衰退病毒效率的影响

褐色桔蚜是柑桔衰退病毒(Citrus tristeza virus,CTV)最有效的传播媒介,为了解不同柑桔寄主种类和毒源对褐色桔蚜传播CTV效率的影响,检测在以锦橙、凤凰柚和墨西哥来檬作毒源植株时,褐色桔蚜对10个CTV分离株的单蚜传毒率,以及蚜传前后CTV分离株p25/HinfⅠRFLP组群构成的变化,并对其中5个分离株与2个国外分离株进行了p20和p25基因相应氨基酸序列的比对分析。结果表明:褐色桔蚜传播CTV的能力受柑桔寄主种类的影响较大,以锦橙作毒源植株可以获得最高的传毒率;CTV毒株强弱以及褐色桔蚜虫态(有翅或无翅蚜)对单蚜传毒率影响不明显;褐色桔蚜传播具有p25/HinfⅠRFLP第3组群构成的CTV分离株的能力较强。     

重庆地区柑桔衰退病毒多态性研究

柑桔衰退病毒(CTV)存在着复杂的株系分化现象.在使用弱毒株交叉保护防治柑桔衰退病时需要对田间病毒株系组成进行分析,并对选用的株系进行单蚜分离纯化.作者运用限制性片段长度多态性和单链构象多态性对田间获得的168个CTV样品和2个蚜传毒株的外壳蛋白基因进行分析,了解重庆市田间CTV组群构成情况,发现田间CTV以多株系混合发生为主,其中主要是CP/HinfⅠRFLP第1、3和6组群,约占总数的90%,并以强毒株混合感染为主.甜橙中CP/HinfⅠRFLP的组群构成最为复杂.单头褐色桔蚜从柚类至甜橙传播CTV的效率低(不足1%),该蚜的取食可改变CTV的株系组成.     

6种柑橘类植物对柑橘衰退病毒分离株TR-L514变异的影响

 柑橘衰退病毒(Citrus tristeza virus,CTV)存在复杂的株系分化现象,运用弱毒株交叉保护防治柑橘衰退病时需了解不同类型柑橘对CTV构成的影响。作者将CTV分离株TR-L514嫁接接种到6类柑橘植物上获得了18个亚分离株,并对这18个亚分离株和TR-L514进行了指示植物鉴定,p25基因的限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)和单链构象多态性(SSCP)分析,p23基因的序列比较。结果表明,CTV株系对不同柑橘类植株的适应性存在差异。TR-L514嫁接到不同柑橘类植株其构成会发生变化,在甜橙上可以同时检测出p25//HinfⅠ RFLP第1和6组群,并具有比在其它4类柑橘上更为复杂的SSCP谱型构成,因此甜橙可能更适宜于CTV的增殖。TR-L514及18个亚分离株的p23基因序列差异可能与不同类柑橘植株的适应性有关。     

柑橘衰退病毒含量对其蚜传效率的影响

为明确毒源植株和蚜虫中柑橘衰退病毒(Citrus tristeza virus,CTV)的发生情况与蚜虫传播CTV能力的关系,将褐色橘蚜、棉蚜、橘二叉蚜和绣线菊蚜置于分别感染了4个CTV分离株的锦橙上取食24 h后,运用巢式RT-PCR和实时RT-PCR检测蚜虫和锦橙的带毒情况,并分析蚜虫的传毒能力。结果显示,蚜虫中CTV的平均带毒率为0.76~0.84,其中棉蚜的最高,其次为绣线菊蚜、褐色橘蚜和橘二叉蚜。锦橙中各CTV分离株的含量差异不大,与蚜虫传毒效率间无显著相关性;也未发现蚜虫带毒率与其传播CTV能力之间存在相关性。蚜虫体内CTV的含量为5.36×103±2.33×103~2.01×106±3.67×105拷贝,褐色橘蚜中含量最高,其次为棉蚜、橘二叉蚜和绣线菊蚜;且高蚜传能力CTV分离株在褐色橘蚜体内的含量远高于低蚜传能力分离株。表明蚜虫体内CTV的含量可能与蚜虫传毒能力有关。

Contribution of uneven distribution of genomic RNA variants of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) within the plant to changes in the viral population following aphid transmission

The population of genomic RNA sequence variants of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) isolates was characterized by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of complementary DNA (cDNA) of the genes p18 and p20. Comparison of field and aphid-transmitted isolates showed that aphid transmission frequently altered the single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) pattern of both genes, indicating changes in the population of genomic RNA variants. SSCP analysis of the cDNA of RNA extracted from small pieces of tissue sampled at different sites of the same plant sometimes yielded different patterns, indicating uneven distribution of the genomic RNA variants within the infected plant. Different SSCP patterns were also obtained when the RNA extracted from individual aphids probing in the same infected leaf was used as a template. Uneven distribution of the genomic RNA variants within the infected plant and sorting of some of these variants by individual aphids probably contribute to changes observed in the CTV population following aphid transmission.     

Molecular analysis suggests that recent <Emphasis Type="Italic">Citrus tristeza virus</Emphasis> outbreaks in Italy were originated by at least two independent introductions

Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is the causal agent of the most important virus disease of citrus. Numerous CTV isolates differing in biological and molecular characteristics have been reported worldwide. Recently, CTV was detected in Italy in several citrus crops from three separate areas: (1) Cassibile, province of Syracuse; (2) Massafra, province of Taranto; and (3) Belpasso, province of Catania. CTV isolates from Massafra and Cassibile were mild, whereas isolates from Belpasso induced severe symptoms. To study the genetic variation of CTV populations of these areas, 150 samples per area were examined by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and nucleotide sequence analysis of CTV gene p20. All isolates from the same area showed the same SSCP pattern whereas for each area a different SSCP pattern was obtained. The Massafra and the Cassibile isolates had a nucleotide identity higher than 99% with a mild isolate from Spain and about 92% with the Belpasso isolates, which were similar (identity higher than 99%) to severe isolates from California and Japan. These results suggest at least two independent introductions of CTV in Italy, probably by import of CTV-infected budwoods. Within each area, the virus population was homogeneous suggesting diffusion of CTV by aphid transmission. The GenBank accession numbers of the sequences reported in this paper are: AY262000, AY263360 and AY263361 corresponding to gene p20 of CTV isolates from Massafra, Cassibile and Belpasso (Italy), respectively.

Characterization of Citrus tristeza virus isolates in northern Iran

The biological and molecular properties of four Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) isolates isolated from infected Satsuma trees imported from Japan, and growing in citrus groves in northern Iran (Mahdasht orchards, Mazandaran Province), were investigated. CTV-infected samples were collected from sweet orange trees and grafted onto Alemow (Citrus macrophylla Wester) seedlings. On indicator plants, these isolates produced various symptoms including vein clearing and stem pitting on Mexican lime, Alemow, and Citrus hystrix, and yellowing and stunting on sour orange and grapefruit seedlings. Citrus samples were also surveyed for CTV using serological tests. The coat protein (CP) gene of these isolates was amplified using specific primers, yielding an amplicon of 672 bp for all isolates. Sequence analysis showed 98%–99% sequence homology of Iranian isolates with the Californian CTV severe stem-pitting isolate SY568 and 97%–98% homology with the Japanese seedling yellows isolate NUagA. The Iranian isolates were compared by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the CP amplicon for further classification.     

Aphid Transmission Alters the Genomic and Defective RNA Populations of Citrus tristeza virus Isolates

ABSTRACT A total of 14 Spanish isolates of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) and 1 isolate from Japan were transmitted by Aphis gossypii, and the subisolates obtained were compared with the source isolates for symptom expression and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) pattern. Of the 14 Spanish isolates, 9 showed altered dsRNA patterns after aphid transmission but only minor variations in the intensity of symptoms induced on Mexican lime. Northern blot hybridization with complementary DNA (cDNA) probes corresponding to both the 5' and the 3' termini of the CTV genomic RNA (gRNA) showed that the dsRNA bands that could be used to discriminate between the dsRNA pattern of the source and the aphid-transmitted isolates were the replicative forms of defective RNAs (D-RNAs). Conversely, the Japanese isolate and two subisolates obtained from it by aphid transmission had the same dsRNA pattern, but one of the subisolates induced milder symptoms in several hosts. Dot-blot hybridization with cDNA probes representing several regions of the gRNA showed that most of the aphid-transmitted isolates differed from the corresponding source isolate by their hybridization pattern. Our results indicate that aphid transmission often sorts the populations of gRNA variants and D-RNAs present in CTV isolates.     

Comparison of viral RNA populations of pathogenically distinct isolates of Citrus tristeza virus : application to monitoring cross-protection

The population of sequence variants of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) isolates of different geographic origins and pathogenicity properties was characterized by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of cDNA of the genes p18, p13, p20 and p23. The mild isolates analysed here usually yielded a SSCP profile with two DNA bands, suggestive of a predominant sequence variant, whereas the SSCP profile of the most virulent isolates contained more than two DNA bands, indicating that their viral populations are likely to be more complex. The set of SSCP profiles of the four genes allowed identification of individual isolates, but no profile characteristic of a geographic area or a biogroup was found. Sweet orange plants singly inoculated with a mild or with a severe isolate yielded the SSCP profile characteristic of each isolate, whereas the SSCP profile of plants successively inoculated with both isolates was a composite of the two individual profiles. The SSCP profile of plants singly inoculated remained constant, but the profile of doubly inoculated plants varied with time. Plants in which the SSCP profile of the severe isolate became predominant showed stem pitting, and those in which the predominant profile corresponded to the mild isolate remained symptomless. The results indicate that SSCP analysis can be used to study changes in RNA populations of doubly inoculated plants and to monitor cross-protection between mild and severe isolates.     

Separation and interference of strains from a citrus tristeza virus isolate evidenced by biological activity and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) analysis

Separation of strains of citrus tristeza virus (CTV), differentiated by their double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) profiles, was obtained by graft-inoculating citron plants from a Mexican lime that had been recently aphid- or graft-inoculated with a mild CTV isolate (T-385). Up to 24 sub-isolates with differing dsRNA profiles were obtained from the aphid-inoculated lime. Some of these sub-isolates induced stronger symptoms in several citrus species than the original T-385 isolate. One sub-isolate, T-385-33, was mild in Mexican lime, but induced stem pitting on sweet orange. Inoculation of this isolate on Mexican lime, sour orange and Eureka lemon induced mild or no symptoms when inoculum was taken from citron, but very severe symptoms when the inoculum was from sweet orange. Mexican lime and sweet orange plants co-inoculated with T-385-33 from sweet orange in combination with the other 23 sub-isolates showed mild symptoms. The results obtained suggest that there is natural cross-protection among sub-isolates in the original T-385 isolate.
