Distribution and properties of geographically distinct isolates of sugar beet yellowing viruses

From a total of 261 yellow sugarbeet leaves collected from 10 countries representing three continents, the incidence and distribution of strains of Beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV), Beet chlorosis virus (BChV) and Beet yellows virus (BYV) were analysed using serological and molecular methods. BMYV was found in all countries except Greece, and more frequently in the northern and western areas of Europe, whereas BYV predominated in Turkey, Spain, Greece, the USA and Chile. BChV, originally found in the USA and the UK in 1989, was identified in France, Spain, the Netherlands and Chile. Nine sugar beet poleroviruses, plus a reference isolate of Turnip yellows virus (TuYV, syn. Beet western yellows virus ), were further characterized and compared. Isolates obtained from sugar beet infected this species, but not oilseed rape or lettuce; all isolates except one infected Capsella bursa-pastoris . The coat-protein sequences of these isolates were highly similar, with the consensus sequence representing 89% of nucleotide residues. Within the coat-protein gene, two regions were identified that could represent specific epitopes to which monoclonal antibody BYDV-PAV-IL-1 could bind; this antibody is used to distinguish beet poleroviruses in ELISA. Comparison of the sequences at the 5' end showed that sequence homology existed only between isolates with the same host range. The first sequence data of polerovirus isolates from Chile are presented, showing that the coat protein and the 5' end of their genomes are highly similar to those of BMYV isolates found in Europe. Chilean polerovirus isolates may have been imported from the northern hemisphere in sugar beet breeding material.     

苹果茎沟病毒部分分离物的生物学特性与分子鉴定

通过昆诺藜接种鉴定和ELISA检测,从梨和苹果上分离获得苹果茎沟病毒(Apple stem grooving virus,ASGV)23个分离物.采用TC-RT-PCR对这些分离物进行扩增,均获得特异的扩增片段,PCR产物经5%PAGE电泳,出现大小约500、530和600bp的3种迁移率不同的泳动带型.根据PCR产物电泳迁移率的差异,选取3个来源于梨的分离物P-L4、P-6-1-17和P-3-2-67的PCR产物进行克隆与序列测定.经BLAST搜索,3个分离物的扩增片段与苹果分离物P-209的CP基因3′端核苷酸序列同源性分别为92.2%、90.4%和88.4%.3个分离物间的核苷酸序列也有较大差异,P-L4/P-6-1-17为95.5%、P-L4/P-3-2-67为90.4%、P-6-1-17/P-3-2-67为88.6%.     

桃潜隐花叶类病毒RT-PCR和分子杂交检测技术的建立

本研究从武汉周边采集表现典型花叶症状的桃样品,提取总RNA为模板,采用RT-PCR方法对这些样品进了分析,结果显示所分析的5个样品(P1～P5)均获得了预期大小约为337bp的目标扩增条带,表明样品均带有PLMVd.通过回收RT-PCR产物,用生物素标记制备探针,分别采用DNA斑点杂交、RNA斑点杂交和组织印迹杂交3种杂交方法对这些样品进行检测比较,3种杂交方法中,组织印迹杂交操作步骤相对简单快捷,适合于对PLMVd进行大田快速检测.

Identification of divergent variants of Grapevine virus A

Eight isolates of Grapevine virus A (GVA), which induced different symptoms in leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana, were recovered from various grapevines. The dsRNA patterns of two isolates, which consistently induced mild vein clearing (referred here as mild isolates of GVA) were similar, but different from those of other isolates of GVA. Analysis based on overall nucleotide (nt) sequence identity in the 3 terminal part of the GVA genome, comprising part of ORF3 (putative movement protein, MP), entire ORF4 (capsid protein, CP), entire ORF5 and part of 3 UTR, revealed that GVA isolates separate into three groups (I, II, III), sharing 91.0–99.8% nt sequence identity within groups and 78.0–89.3% nt sequence identity between groups. Mild isolates of the virus were group III and shared only 78.0–79.6% nt sequence identity with the other isolates. The comparison of predicted amino acid sequences for MP and CP revealed many amino acid alterations, revealing distinct local net charges of these proteins for mild isolates of the virus. Based on both conserved and divergent nt regions in the CP and ORF5, oligonucleotide primers were designed for the simultaneous RT-PCR detection of all GVA isolates and for the specific detection of the most divergent virus variants represented here by mild isolates of the virus.
