不同种粒抗性大豆品种感染SMV后可溶性蛋白和游离氨基酸的研究

 采用感斑驳品种合丰25、丰收12,抗斑驳品种东农81-43、铁6915(东农),在隔离网室内进行盆栽试验,于对生真叶期分别接种SMV1号、3号株系,以未接种健株为对照,在鼓半粒期分析种皮游离氨基酸和可溶性蛋白含量。结果表明:抗斑驳品种健株种皮中可溶性蛋白含量显著高于感斑驳品种,说明种皮中可溶性蛋白含量与种粒抗性成正相关,可作为筛选抗斑驳品种的生化指标。感斑驳品种中未检测到甲硫氨酸,抗斑驳品种含有甲硫氨酸,甲硫氨酸能抑制色素的形成。接种SMV后,感斑驳品种种皮中可溶性蛋白含量增加,抗斑驳品种可溶性蛋白含量降低。感斑驳品种种皮中苏、苯丙、异亮、缬氨酸含量增加,抗斑驳品种上述氨基酸含量降低或维持不变。这些氨基酸能促进色素的形成,可能与种皮斑驳的形成有一定关系。     

Soybean mosaic virus Helper Component-Protease Alters Leaf Morphology and Reduces Seed Production in Transgenic Soybean Plants

ABSTRACT Transgenic soybean (Glycine max) plants expressing Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) helper component-protease (HC-Pro) showed altered vegetative and reproductive phenotypes and responses to SMV infection. When inoculated with SMV, transgenic plants expressing the lowest level of HC-Pro mRNA and those transformed with the vector alone initially showed mild SMV symptoms. Plants that accumulated the highest level of SMV HC-Pro mRNA showed very severe SMV symptoms initially, but after 2 weeks symptoms disappeared, and SMV titers were greatly reduced. Analysis of SMV RNA abundance over time with region-specific probes showed that the HC-Pro region of the SMV genome was degraded before the coat protein region. Transgenic soybean plants that expressed SMV HC-Pro showed dose-dependent alterations in unifoliate leaf morphologies and seed production where plants expressing the highest levels of HC-Pro had the most deformed leaves and the lowest seed production. Accumulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs putatively targeted by miRNAs was analyzed in leaves and flowers of healthy, HC-Pro-transgenic, and SMV-infected plants. Neither expression of SMV HC-Pro nor SMV infection produced greater than twofold changes in accumulation of six miRNAs. In contrast, SMV infection was associated with twofold or greater increases in the accumulation of four of seven miRNA-targeted mRNAs tested.     

Analysis of the spatial distribution of identical and two distinct virus populations differently labeled with cyan and yellow fluorescent proteins in coinfected plants

ABSTRACT Apple latent spherical virus (ALSV) expressing yellow and cyan fluorescent proteins (ALSV-YFP and ALSV-CFP) was used to investigate the distribution of identical virus populations in coinfected plants. In Chenopodium quinoa plants inoculated with a mixture of ALSV-YFP and ALSV-CFP, fluorescence from YFP and CFP was always distributed separately in both inoculated and upper uninoculated leaves. Inoculation of each ALSV-YFP and ALSV-CFP to different leaves of a C. quinoa plant resulted in the separate distribution of each virus population among different upper leaves. When C. quinoa leaves were first inoculated with ALSV-CFP and then ALSV-YFP was reinoculated into the same leaves at various times after the first inoculation, ALSV-YFP infected only tissues where ALSV-CFP infection had not been established. The spatial separation was also found in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves coinoculated with Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV)-YFP and BYMV-CFP. In contrast, both YFP and CFP fluorescence signals were observed in the same tissues of N. benthamiana leaves mixed infected with ALSV-YFP and BYMV-CFP. YFP fluorescence from ALSV-YFP in mixed-infected leaves was brighter and longer than in leaves infected with ALSV-YFP singly.     

Transgenic Nicotiana occidentalis Plants Expressing the 50-kDa Protein of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus Display Increased Susceptibility to Homologous Virus, but Strong Resistance to Grapevine berry inner necrosis virus

ABSTRACT The 50-kDa protein (P50) encoded by the open reading frame 2 of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), a putative movement protein, was expressed in transgenic Nicotiana occidentalis plants. P50 in transgenic plants was mainly detected in a modified form in the cell wall fraction, similar to that in infected leaves. The P50-expressing plants (P50 plants) complemented the systemic spread of the P50-defective mutants of an infectious cDNA clone of ACLSV (pCLSF), indicating that P50 in transgenic plants was functional. Severity of symptoms was greatly enhanced and accumulation of virus in upper leaves was increased in P50 plants inoculated with pCLSF or ACLSV compared with that in nontransgenic control plants (NT plants). Conversely, transgenic plants expressing the coat protein of ACLSV (CP plants) showed a significant delay in symptom development and a reduction of virus accumulation. However, most P50 plants inoculated with Grapevine berry inner necrosis virus (GINV), another species of the genus Trichovirus, neither developed obvious symptoms nor supported virus accumulation in inoculated or upper leaves. In contrast, systemic symptoms developed and virus accumulated equally in NT and CP plants inoculated with GINV. After inoculation with Apple stem grooving virus or Apple stem pitting virus, there was no difference in symptom development and virus accumulation among P50, CP, and NT plants. Our results indicate that transgenic plants expressing a functional P50 were more susceptible to homologous virus and, on the contrary, showed strong resistance to the heterologous virus GINV.     

A novel member of the genus Nepovirus isolated from Cucumis melo in Japan

An unusual virus was isolated from a Japanese Cucumis melo cv. Prince melon plant showing mild mottling of the leaves. The virus had a broad experimental host range including at least 19 plant species in five families, with most infected plants showing no symptoms on inoculated and uninoculated systemically infected leaves. The virus particles were spherical, approximately 28 nm in diameter, and the coat protein (CP) had an apparent molecular mass of about 55 kDa. The virus possessed a bi-partite genome with two RNA species, of approximately 8,000 and 4,000 nucleotides. Both genome components for the new virus were sequenced. Amino acid sequence identities in CP between the new virus and previously characterized nepoviruses were found to be low (less than 27%); however, in phylogenetic reconstructions the closest relationship was revealed between the new virus and subgroup A nepoviruses. These results suggest that the new virus represents a novel member of the genus Nepovirus. A new name, Melon mild mottle virus, has been proposed for this new virus.     

The Helper Component-Proteinase of Sweet potato feathery mottle virus Facilitates Systemic Spread of Potato virus X in Ipomoea nil

ABSTRACT When Ipomoea nil was coinfected with Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV), a member of the genus Potyvirus, and Potato virus X (PVX) typical symptoms caused by PVX were observed on those by SPFMV on the first upper true leaves at 14 days postinoculation (dpi). On the other hand, no PVX-induced symptoms were observed on the first upper true leaves at 14 dpi when plants were infected with PVX alone. In the case of coinfection with PVX and SPFMV, PVX RNA was detected not only in the inoculated cotyledonary leaves but also in the first upper true leaves at 14 dpi. In the case of single infection with PVX, PVX RNA was detected in the inoculated cotyledonary leaves but not in the first upper true leaves at 14 dpi. The accumulation of SPFMV remained unchanged, regardless of whether the inoculum consisted of SPFMV alone or a mixture of SPFMV and PVX. Although recombinant PVX engineered to express the helper component-proteinase (HC-Pro) of SPFMV (PVX.HC) enhanced symptoms severity in Nicotiana benthamiana, PVX.HC induced the synergism characterized by an enhanced viral movement in Ipomoea nil. Immunofluorescence microscopic examination revealed that the HC-Pro was present in phloem of SPFMV-infected I. nil. These results suggest that SPFMV HC-Pro acts as an enhancer of long distance movement for PVX in I. nil.     

Complementation of coat protein mutants of pepper huasteco geminivirus in transgenic tobacco plants

ABSTRACT The role of the pepper huasteco virus (PHV) coat protein (CP) gene during the infection was investigated in three different hosts by using mutations that produced truncated proteins and by complementation assays in transgenic plants. The infectivity analysis revealed that mutants that express truncated CP (CP7 and CP191) behave like the wild-type virus when inoculated onto pepper and Nicotiana benthamiana plants in terms of symptom expression and viral DNA movement. On the contrary, the CP7 mutant was unable to systemically infect tobacco plants, whereas only 10% of the plants inoculated with the CP191 mutant became infected. The CP7 mutant was complemented by coinoculating it with another geminivirus (taino tomato mottle virus). No complementation was observed in plants from nine transgenic tobacco lines expressing CP under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. However, 3 out of 10 lines expressing CP under the control of its own promoter (693 nucleotides) were able to complement the CP7 mutant. Interestingly, upon infection, the levels of CP mRNA in 693CP plants increased dramatically, probably due to transactivation of the CP promoter by the viral protein AC2.     

大麦黄矮病毒-GAV在燕麦植株体内运动规律的初步研究

 利用RT-PCR方法研究了大麦黄矮病毒-GAV在燕麦植株内的移动规律。先将介体麦二叉蚜(Schizaphis graminum)在BYDV-GAV新鲜病叶上饲毒,再将获毒蚜虫放置到二叶期的健康燕麦植株接种48h,随后分期提取接种植株的第1~6片叶和根组织的总RNA,利用特异引物扩增BYDV-GAV的外壳蛋白(CP)基因以检测病毒在燕麦植株内的复制和移动。结果表明,在接种5d后,接种叶片(第2片叶)呈现阳性,接种7d后,植株新生的第4片叶被侵染,接种9d后,部分的第3片叶呈现阳性,至接种16d,几乎所有的叶片均呈现阳性。仅在接种的第5、7和9d收集的根组织呈现阳性,而所有的第1片叶均为阴性,可能是由于这些组织内病毒含量太低所致。本研究初步揭示了BYDV-GAV长距离运动的规律并且发现该病毒在燕麦根部从接种到系统发病都没有进行大量增殖,为今后进一步研究病毒运动机制选取适当的植物材料提供了基本信息。

The effect of salicylic and jasmonic acids on tomato physiology and tolerance to <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cucumber mosaic virus</Emphasis> (CMV)

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the most important plant viruses responsible for sharp reductions in the production of many cultivated plants. Activities of antioxidant enzymes, photosynthetic capacity, proline and total soluble carbohydrates (TSC) content were measured in the leaves of tomato (Solanum lycopercicum cv. Falat) plants treated with phytohormones (salicylic and jasmonic acids and their combination) and inoculated with CMV at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 15 days after the treatments. Based on the results, catalase (CAT) activity decreased in the healthy and infected plants, but peroxidase (POD) activity increased in the CMV-infected plants signifying that POD is more active in H₂O₂ scavenging in tomato. Because the hormone treatments inhibited the reduction in the enzyme activity, it may be considered as a controlling method against CMV. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was lower in the control until 6 days post inoculation (dpi), but increased after 8 dpi. The infected plants and the hormone-treated plants showed an increased SOD activity from 0 to 15 dpi. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity also increased in all the treatments over the time period (0-15 dpi). Net photosynthesis (NP) rate and chlorophyll content decreased under the virus infection and hormone treatment, whereas control plants had the highest NP and chlorophyll content. Proline accumulation occurred in the infected and hormone- treated plants, but TSC content decreased in comparison to the control. Reduction of TSC content was not significant in the hormone and virus- treated plants. Expression of CMV coat protein gene (CMV-CP) was decreased by approximately 34% in SA+JA+CMV treatment in comparison to the CMV-infected plants. In conclusion, CMV had harmful effect on physiological traits of tomato plants, but hormone application induced resistance. This resistance may be accomplished through the combination of both hormone-related signaling pathways which likely established a strong resistance network together.     

Interference of Long-Distance Movement of Grapevine berry inner necrosis virus in Transgenic Plants Expressing a Defective Movement Protein of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus

ABSTRACT Transgenic Nicotiana occidentalis plants expressing a movement protein (P50) and partially functional deletion mutants (DeltaA and DeltaC) of the Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) showed resistance to Grapevine berry inner necrosis virus (GINV). The resistance is highly effective and GINV was below the level of detection in both inoculated and uninoculated upper leaves. In contrast, GINV accumulated in inoculated and uninoculated leaves of nontransgenic (NT) plants and transgenic plants expressing a dysfunctional mutant (DeltaG). On the other hand, in some plants of a transgenic plant line expressing a deletion mutant (DeltaA', deletion of the C-terminal 42 amino acids), GINV could spread in inoculated leaves, but not move into uninoculated leaves. In a tissue blot hybridization analysis of DeltaA'-plants inoculated with GINV, virus could be detected in leaf blade, midribs, and petiole of inoculated leaves, but neither in stems immediately above inoculated leaves nor in any tissues of uninoculated leaves. Immunohistochemical analysis of GINV-inoculated leaves of DeltaA'-plants showed that GINV could invade into phloem parenchyma cells through bundle sheath of minor veins, suggesting that the long-distance transport of GINV might be inhibited between the phloem cells and sieve element (and/or within sieve element) rather than bundle sheath-phloem interfaces. Immunogold electron microscopy using an anti-P50 antiserum showed that P50 accumulated on the parietal layer of sieve elements and on sieve plates. The results suggested that resistance in P50-transgenic plants to GINV is due to the interference of both long-distance and cell-to-cell movement of the virus.     

High resistance to rice yellow mottle virus in two cultivated rice cultivars is correlated with failure of cell to cell movement

Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) accumulation in protoplasts and whole plants was investigated in two highly resistant cultivars, Tog5681 (Oryza glaberrima) and Gigante (Oryza sativa). Three susceptible cultivars, i.e. one O. glaberrima Tog5673 and two O. sativa (IR64, Ac. 2428), and a partially resistant cultivar (Azucena) were used as control. After inoculation, accumulation of coat protein (CP) and viral RNA were monitored on protoplasts, inoculated leaves, sheaths of inoculated leaves and newly infected leaves by serological and Northern blot analysis. Viral RNA accumulated to a similar extent in protoplasts from all cultivars studied. In contrast, three distinct in planta behaviors were noted. In susceptible plants (IR64, Tog5673 and Ac. 2428), there was high CP and RNA accumulation at 5 d.p.i. in whole plants, suggesting that cell to cell and vascular movements occurred before 5 d.p.i. in inoculated leaves. The second behavior concerned Azucena, which showed a delay (around 7 d.p.i.) of viral accumulation in inoculated leaves. The third behavior involved the highly resistant cultivars Tog5681 and Gigante. CP and viral RNA were not detected in these cultivars. The comparison of viral accumulation in protoplasts and plants suggested that resistance of the highly resistant cultivars Tog5681 (O. glaberrima) and Gigante (O. sativa) was not due to the inhibition of virus replication but rather to the failure of cell to cell movement.     

转CP基因线辣椒对CMV和CMV-RNA的抗病性比较

 本试验以转化CMV-CP和TMV-CP基因线辣椒纯合系作试材,比较了接种CMV粒体和CMV-RNA后的发病特点和叶片中的病毒含量。结果表明:转化线辣椒不仅能抵抗CMV粒体的侵染,而且还能抵抗CMV-RNA的侵染。不论接种CMV粒体或CMV-RNA,CP(+)线辣椒的系统症状都延迟出现,显症株率和病害严重度级别大幅度降低,病毒增殖和运转受到抑制,接种叶片与新生叶片中的病毒含量明显减低。这一结果证实CMV-RNA不能克服线辣椒由CP基因介导的抗病性。     

瓜类褪绿黄化病毒外壳蛋白的亚细胞定位及致病作用浅析

瓜类褪绿黄化病毒(cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus, CCYV)是近些年来出现的一种烟粉虱 Bemisia tabaci传播的植物病毒,在瓜类生产中造成了严重损失。为了解该病毒外壳蛋白(coat protein, CP)在病毒侵染寄主过程中的亚细胞定位和致病作用,本研究以CCYV山东黄瓜分离物为研究对象,构建了荧光表达载体CP-YFP和异源表达载体pGR-CP。浸润荧光表达载体48 h后的本氏烟Nicotiana benthamiana叶片在激光共聚焦显微镜下可以观察到荧光信号在细胞质和细胞核内均有分布;浸润异源表达载体的本氏烟植株7 d后上部叶片开始显现花叶症状,13 d后顶部新叶出现严重皱缩和坏死斑点。以上结果表明CCYV CP蛋白参与了病毒对寄主的侵染过程,可能是症状形成的致病相关因子。本研究为进一步解析该病毒的致病机理提供了初步的理论支持。     

Rhizobacteria-Mediated Growth Promotion of Tomato Leads to Protection Against Cucumber mosaic virus

ABSTRACT We evaluated combinations of two strains of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) formulated with the carrier chitosan for the ability to induce growth promotion of tomato plants and resistance to infection by Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Each PGPR combination included GB03 (Bacillus subtilis) and one of the following PGPR strains: SE34 (B. pumilus), IN937a (B. amyloliquefaciens), IN937b (B. subtilis), INR7 (B. pumilus), or T4 (B. pumilus). The PGPR combinations formulated with chitosan are referred to as biopreparations. Tomato plants treated with each of the biopreparations appeared phenotypically and developmentally similar to nonbacterized control plants that were 10 days older (referred to as the older control). When plants were challenged with CMV, all plants in the biopreparation treatments and the older control treatment had significantly greater height, fresh weight, and flower and fruit numbers than that of plants in the CMV-inoculated same age control treatment. CMV disease severity ratings were significantly lower for biopreparation-treated and older control tomato plants than for that of same age control plants at 14 and 28 days postinoculation (dpi). CMV accumulation in young noninoculated leaves was significantly less for all biopreparation-treated plants and those in the older control than for the same age control plants at 14 dpi and for four of the five biopreparation treatments at 28 dpi. In those tomato plants shown to be infected, the amount of CMV in noninoculated leaves was significantly lower for three of the biopreparation treatments and the older control treatment at 14 dpi and biopreparation G/INR7 treatment at 28 dpi when compared with the control treatment. These data show that treatment of tomato plants with biopreparations results in significant enhancement of growth and protection against infection by CMV.     

苹果褪绿叶斑病毒生物学及生化特性研究

 对从苹果和扁桃上获得2个苹果褪绿叶斑病毒的分离物ACLSV-C和ACLSV-B的主要生物学和生化特性进行了比较。人工接种5科19种草本植物,发现两者均能侵染苋色藜(Chenopodium amaranticolor)、昆诺藜(Ch.quinoa)和西方烟(Nicotiana occidentalis),产生局部侵染斑和系统褪绿斑。但症状反应存在差异,后者在这3种植物上引起叶片反卷等较强症状反应,还可潜伏侵染笋瓜(Cucurbita maxima cv.Buttercup Burgess)。经SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳结果显示,ACLSV-B衣壳蛋白的迁移率较ACLSV-C快。两者的RNA分子量及双链RNA数量无明显差异。根据已报道的核苷酸系列设计合成引物,采用PCR法检测ACLSV分离物,均获得特异性扩增产物。     

Mature plant resistance of potato against some virus diseases. I. Concurrence of development of mature plant resistance against potato virus X,and decrease of ribosome and RNA content

Four of five weeks after planting a group of potato plants ‘Bintje’ was inoculated with potato virus X (PVX). Other groups were inoculated at intervals of 14 days. Tubers produced by plants inoculated 35 days after planting were all infected. The plants inoculated 49 days or later after planting produced few infected tubers. The latter had developed mature plant resistance against PVX infection. The ribosome and RNA contents of leaves were measured by application of adsorption chromatography. A rapid decrease in ribosome and RNA contents occurred in plants at the time of rapid increase in the rate of mature plant resistance. The decrease was most distinct in the fifteenth leaf and therefore the contents in this leaf seem to give a good indication of the rapid increase in resistance.     

The Basis for Thinopyrum-Derived Resistance to Cereal yellow dwarf virus

ABSTRACT Incorporation of Thinopyrum intermedium-derived resistance genes into improved wheat germ plasm generated a wheat substitution line (P29) which is completely resistant to Cereal yellow dwarf virus (CYDV). The undetectable CYDV titer in P29 led many to conclude that resistance prevented viral replication. To determine whether CYDV replication or movement is inhibited, we examined inoculated leaves for replication and uninoculated leaves for systemic spread. CYDV subgenomic RNA, produced only during replication, was found within the inoculated area of P29 and T. intermedium leaves, demonstrating that viral replication occurred. Absence of CYDV from uninoculated, newly emerging leaves of inoculated P29 and T. intermedium plants indicated resistance via inhibition of viral systemic infection. Resistance was not effective if P29 was inoculated with 50 to 100 viruliferous aphids per plant at the first-leaf stage or younger, resulting in a systemic spread of CYDV. As these infected P29 seedlings continued to grow, the resistance phenotype was recovered. Our data suggested that T. intermedium-derived resistance to CYDV was primarily dosage dependent and could be developmentally regulated if the amount of inoculum was large enough.
