The reaction of two lettuce cultivars to mixed infection by beet western yellows virus, lettuce mosaic virus and cucumber mosaic virus

The interaction of beet western yellows virus (BWYV), lettuce mosaic virus (LMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) has been studied in lettuce cultivars Little Gem and Saladin. LMV infection alone or in combination with BWYV and or CMV caused the most severe symptoms and yield losses in both cultivars. BWYV caused more severe reactions in Little Gem than in Saladin; the reactions caused by CMV were mild in both cultivars. The interaction between BWYV and CMV infection resulted in a significantly greater yield loss in both cultivars than that caused by BWYV or CMV infection alone.

为明确西瓜感染黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒CGMMV后病毒的增殖过程及其对光合作用的影响,本研究以辽宁省田间主栽西瓜品种‘京欣’为试材,测定了人工接种CGMMV后,西瓜植株体内病毒含量、光合色素、光合作用相关指标以及参与光合作用的关键酶活性的变化,结果显示:接种3d后,即可检测到病毒,24d植株内病毒含量达最高;叶绿素a、叶绿素b及类胡萝卜素的含量均有所降低,叶绿素a在9d后均低于健康对照,而叶绿素b和类胡萝卜素在15d后明显低于健康对照,第18天时,健康对照的叶绿素b含量达接种处理的1.33倍;ALA脱水酶活性除第15天与对照无显著差异外,整个测定期间均低于健康对照,21d时健康对照的ALA脱水酶的活性达29.9U/h,为接种处理的2.18倍;PEP羧化酶的活性显著低于健康对照,测定期间接种处理的PEP羧化酶活性变化不大;乙醇酸氧化酶活性明显升高,测定期间其活性均显著高于健康对照;西瓜叶片的光合速率、气孔导度和蒸腾速率均远小于健康对照,而细胞间隙CO_2浓度却比对照高,本研究为揭示西瓜感染CGMMV后的光合作用变化规律奠定了基础。     

利用黄瓜花叶病毒M和Fny株系 的假重组体分析致病关键因子

 用RT-PCR扩增黄瓜花叶病毒M株系（CMV-M）全长基因组cDNA,成功构建CMV-M RNA2和RNA3侵染性克隆后,与CMV-Fny基因组RNA交换得到3个假重组型病毒 （F1M2F3、F1F2M3、F1M2M3）。用F1M2F3、F1F2M3、F1M2M3分别侵染白肋烟,产生坏死环斑、轻微绿斑驳、明脉、黄白化和叶尖线性化等症状。根据假重组型病毒和野生型病毒的表观症状,分析引起各种症状的关键因子,初步判定：CP基因是诱导花叶症状的关键因子,CMV-Fny RNA2是诱导叶尖线性化的关键因子,CMV-M RNA2是诱导叶尖坏死斑关键因子。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示：野生株CMV-M、CMV-Fny和假重组体F1M2F3、F1F2M3、F1M2M3侵染烟草后引起的症状差异与病毒基因组RNA累积没有直接关系。

Identification of blackeye cowpea mosaic virus from germplasm of yard-long bean and from soybean,and the relationships between blackeye cowpea mosaic virus and cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus

Two potyvirus isolates, one from germplasm of yard-long bean (Vigna unguiculata ssp.sesquipedalis) introduced into the Netherlands, and another one from soybean plants (Glycine max) in Indonesia, were compared with two virus isolates of blackeye cowpea mosaic virus (BICMV) from the USA and a Moroccan isolate of cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CAMV). It is proposed that all five isolates be now considered BICMV on the basis of host ranges, symptoms and serology. From our results, and a reassessment of the literature it is suggested to drop the name CAMV in favour of BICMV.Samenvatting Twee potyvirussen, de een in Nederland ingevoerd met genenmateriaal vanVigna unguiculata ssp.sesquipedalis en de ander uit planten van sojaboon (Glycine max) in Indonesië, werden vergeleken met twee isolaten van blackeye cowpea mosiac virus (BICMV) en een Marokkaans isolaat van cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CAMV). Op grond van waardplantenreeksen, symptomen en serologie stellen de auteurs voor om alle vijf isolaten te beschouwen als BICMV. Gebaseerd op de verkregen resultaten en een kritische beschouwing van de literatuur wordt de aanbeveling gedaan om de naam CAMV te laten vallen ten gunste van BICMV.     

A study of viral coat protein accumulation in lily chloroplasts from mixed virus infections of Lily mottle virus and Cucumber mosaic virus

Two viruses that frequently occur in many Lilium species are Lily mottle virus (LMoV) and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), which usually co-infect lilies causing severe disease symptoms. Recent reports have revealed that the viral coat protein (CP) affects chloroplast ultrastructure and symptom development. This study used western blot analysis to confirm that in leaves infected by mixed virus infections of LMoV and CMV, CPs of both viruses were accumulated in lily chloroplasts. Immunogold labelling further demonstrated that both the LMoV CP and CMV CP were localized in the stroma and the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. In addition, it was found that CPs of both viruses were rapidly transported into isolated, intact chloroplasts (in vitro), and their transport efficiencies were positively related to CP concentrations. The lowest transmembrane concentration of CMV CP decreased from 38 μg mL⁻¹ recorded in the single CMV CP import system to 10 μg mL⁻¹ in the mixed import system of LMoV CP and CMV CP. CPs of both viruses exhibited species selection in their transmembrane transport into chloroplasts. This is the first report that the CPs from two viruses (LMoV and CMV) are simultaneously present in lily chloroplasts. Accumulation of high levels of LMoV CP and CMV CP inside the chloroplast appears to contribute to a synergistic interaction inducing the development of mosaic symptoms.     

Systemic infection of some N-gene-carrying Nicotiana species and cultivars after inoculation with tobacco mosaic virus

Since July 1974Nicotiana tabacum ‘Samsun NN’ plants, inoculated with the common strain of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), have occasionally been found to develop necrosis on non-inoculated upper leaves 2–7 days after the local necrotic lesions had appeared on the lower leaves. All these plants had been kept in a growth chamber at 17–20°C. Other tobacco species and cultivars carrying theN gene, such asN. glutinosa andN. tabacum ‘Xanthi-nc’, showed the same phenomenon. Substantial amounts of TMV could be recovered from leaves with systemic symptoms. The systemic necrosis somewhat resembled that caused by tobacco rattle virus (TRV). A number of possible causes, such as high concentration of the inoculum, contamination with another strain of TMV or with TRV, change in the genetic composition of the host plants and certain growing conditions (soil, water, pesticides) were investigated. None of these factors could be held fully responsible for the abnormal systemic reaction, although there was evidence that the soil could sometimes play an important rôle.     

Shoot meristem tissue of tobacco inoculated with Cucumber mosaic virus is infected with the virus and subsequently recovers from infection by RNA silencing

Distribution of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in shoot meristem tissue of CMV-inoculated tobacco was successively analyzed with immunohistochemical microscopy and in situ hybridization. CMV signals were detected in the tissue at 7 days postinoculation (dpi), but then they decreased and disappeared after 14dpi. Detailed observation confirmed CMV invasion of shoot apical meristem at 6–8dpi. Short interfering RNA corresponding to CMV RNAs was first detected at 7dpi and was detected up to 24dpi. These results suggest that the shoot meristem tissue is infected with CMV but subsequently recovers from the infection by RNA silencing.     

Synergistic Disease in Pepper Caused by the Mixed Infection of Cucumber mosaic virus and Pepper mottle virus

ABSTRACT The occurrence of more than one virus species in a single plant is not uncommon in cultivated and native plant species. A mixed virus infection may lead to greater disease severity than individual viral components and this is sometimes referred to as a synergistic disease. Although, in some cases, synergism has been demonstrated for various plant growth parameters such as plant height, weight, and yield, proof of synergy typically has not been demonstrated for symptom severity when the mixed virus infection was not lethal. We demonstrated synergy in bell pepper plants co-infected with Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Pepper mottle virus (PepMoV) relative to each virus alone for stem height (two of three trials) and aboveground fresh weight (one of three trials) using factorial analysis and Abbott's equation for synergy. This approach allowed affirmation of the type of response (i.e., synergistic rather than antagonistic) and statistical proof of synergy. A detailed evaluation of symptom severity for each viral treatment revealed three phases associated with host plant developmental stages. A numerical symptom severity rating scale was developed and used in each of two equations to demonstrate statistical proof for synergy based on symptom severity for co-infected plants. Virus accumulation in noninoculated leaves was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In singly infected plants, CMV titers declined in mildly symptomatic leaves representing later stages of plant development, but titers increased in similar leaves of co-infected plants. In contrast, PepMoV titers did not differ in singly or co-infected plants.     

Induction of systemic resistance against Cucumber mosaic virus by Penicillium simplicissimum GP17‐2 in Arabidopsis and tobacco

The plant growth‐promoting fungus, Penicillium simplicissimum GP17‐2, was evaluated for its ability to induce resistance against Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in Arabidopsis thaliana and tobacco plants. Treatment with barley grain inoculum (BGI) of GP17‐2 significantly enhanced fresh weight, dry weight and leaf number of A. thaliana and tobacco plants 6 weeks after planting. Two weeks after CMV inoculation, all plants treated with BGI of GP17‐2 or its culture filtrate (CF) showed a significant reduction in disease severity compared with non‐treated control plants, which exhibited severe mosaic symptoms by the end of the experiment. The enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) demonstrated that CMV accumulation was significantly reduced in plants treated with GP17‐2 or its CF relative to control plants. Based on RT‐PCR, plants treated with GP17‐2 (BGI or CF) also exhibited increased expression of regulatory and defence genes involved in the SA and JA/ET signalling pathways. These results suggested that multiple defence pathways in A. thaliana and tobacco were involved in GP17‐2‐mediated resistance to CMV, although neither the transgenic NahG line, nor the npr1, jar1 or ein3 mutants disrupted the response in A. thaliana. This is the first report to demonstrate the induction of systemic resistance against CMV by GP17‐2 or its CF.

西瓜感染黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒后糖的变化与倒瓤关系的研究

 By high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the contents of glucose, fructose and sucrose, and the sweetness were analyzed in watermelon inoculated with Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV).The relationship between sugar change and blood-flesh of watermelon was determined. The results indicated that the content of glucose was apparently increased compared to that of the control before maturity (within 28 days after pollination), but reduced to 24.8% of the control after maturity (at 35 days after pollination). The content of fructose was higher than that of the control within 14 days after pollination, and then decreased with a significant difference. In all cases, the content of sucrose increased with the growth of watermelon. However, compared with the control, the sucrose content of watermelon inoculated with CGMMV was lower. The ratios of glucose, fructose and sucrose in the total sugar were abnormal. Coincidence with the changes of the total sugar, the fruit sweetness before maturity was higher than that of the control, whereas decreased sharply after maturity (lower than that of the control). The inner pulp of the mature fruit appeared to be water-soaked and dirty red with no edibility. In a word, after inoculation with CGMMV, the changes of sugars and sweetness affected the watermelon quality.
