南瓜蚜传黄化病毒甜瓜分离物的侵染性克隆构建

 南瓜蚜传黄化病毒(cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus,CABYV)近年来发生普遍,严重威胁甜瓜的生产。前期构建了一个CABYV丝瓜分离物(CABYV-QY)的侵染性克隆,但其在甜瓜中的侵染率偏低,不宜用于甜瓜接种。本研究以CABYV甜瓜分离物CABYV-WS为研究对象,通过RT-PCR扩增、拼接获得全基因组序列,通过构建全长基因组cDNA克隆,分析其侵染性。结果显示,该分离物基因组全长为5682 nt,与CABYV-QY(MT943520)的核苷酸序列一致性为88.61%~100.00%,氨基酸为84.94%~100.00%。将cDNA克隆接种分析,发现所用的8个甜瓜品种均能被系统侵染并引起典型的黄化症状,侵染率为70%~100%。其中,甜瓜品种‘新密杂11号’和‘新密25号’感病性较强,接种CABYV后发病周期短且侵染率可达100%。CABYV侵染性克隆的成功构建有助于该病毒的分子致病性和寄主的抗病性等研究。     

草莓镶脉病毒侵染性克隆的构建

 利用草莓镶脉病毒(Strawberry vein banding virus, SVBV)全长克隆pSVBV-E3构建SVBV侵染性克隆。pSVBV-E3经限制性内切酶酶切分别获得0.5-mer SVBV和1.0-mer SVBV,依次正向插入植物表达载体pBINPLUS,成功构建侵染性克隆重组质粒pBIN-1.5SVBV。pBIN-1.5SVBV转化农杆菌,分别接种森林草莓(Fragaria vesca)和4种烟草属植物(Nico-tiana spp.)验证其侵染性。结果表明,SVBV侵染性克隆接种森林草莓8周后发病,表现出典型的叶脉镶边黄化症状,PCR法可以从显症森林草莓中检测出SVBV cp基因,Southern blot法可以检测出SVBV基因组。而接种4种烟草属植物8周后未观察到发病症状,PCR法也未检测出SVBV cp基因。构建的SVBV侵染性克隆经接种验证能够侵染森林草莓,为进一步研究SVBV侵染森林草莓的致病机制奠定了基础。

黄瓜花叶病毒RNA1侵染性cDNA克隆构建及病毒致病因子的分析

侵染性克隆是研究植物病毒的基础。黄瓜花叶病毒是目前最重要的植物病毒之一。本文以黄瓜花叶病毒M株系为材料来构建病毒的侵染性克隆。由于RNA1的c DNA对多数克隆菌株有毒性,因而采取了分段克隆的方法来构建RNA1的侵染性c DNA克隆,并进一步通过假重组技术来研究病毒的致病因子。结果表明,采用分段克隆的方法成功获得了CMV-M RNA1的侵染性克隆;M株系侵染烟草引起的黄白化症状与病毒的RNA3有直接相关性。

 小西葫芦黄化花叶病毒(ZYMV)和黄瓜花叶病毒(CMV)是浙江及其周边地区侵染葫芦科植物最主要的病毒种类。本文通过RT-PCR和基因克隆,获得了侵染南瓜的CMV杭州分离物(HZ01S10)的3'端序列,通过CP氨基酸序列同源性分析,确定其属于CMV亚组I;分别以³²P标记的ZYMV和CMV基因组cDNA作为探针,用RNA点杂交方法定点检测了浙江地区自然感病的葫芦科作物中以上2种病毒的发生情况。ZYMV和CMV在葫芦科作物上的发生表现出显著的季节性差异:夏季CMV发生普遍,只有部分南瓜和甜瓜感染ZYMV;ZYMV则主要发生在秋季,同一时期未检测到CMV。此外,幼苗期接种试验显示:以上2种病毒对西葫芦(早青一代)、丝瓜(中长)、黄瓜(津绿4号)的致病性存在明显差异,供试西葫芦对ZYMV比较敏感,供试丝瓜对CMV更敏感,而供试黄瓜品种对以上2种病毒均表现抗病。复合侵染在丝瓜和西葫芦上加重病害发生程度。     

A Point Mutation in the FRNK Motif of the Potyvirus Helper Component-Protease Gene Alters Symptom Expression in Cucurbits and Elicits Protection Against the Severe Homologous Virus

Sequence comparison had previously shown three amino acid changes in conserved motifs in the 455-amino acid sequence of the helper component-protease (HC-Pro) between a severe field strain of Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV-NAT) and a mild field strain of ZYMV (ZYMV-WK). In this study, exchange of fragments and site-directed mutagenesis within the HC-Pro gene in an infectious clone of ZYMV enabled the effects of the mutations on symptom expression to be mapped. The substitution of Ile for Arg at position 180 in the conserved motif Phe-Arg-Asn-Lys (FRNK) of potyviruses was found to affect symptom expression. Infection of cucurbits with the engineered ZYMV (ZYMV-AG) that contained this mutation caused a dramatic symptom change from severe to mild in squash and to a symptom-free appearance in cucumber, melon, and watermelon. The Ile to Arg mutation was found to be stable, and no revertant virus was found after several passages through plants after long incubation periods. The AG strain was detected 4 days postinoculation and accumulated in cucurbits to a level and with kinetics similar to that of the wild-type ZYMV-AT strain. Cucurbit plants infected with the AG strain were protected against infection by the severe strain.     

Biological and molecular characterization of two Zucchini yellow mosaic virus isolates from Syria

Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is the most prevalent virus in cucurbits in Syria. Two Syrian ZYMV isolates, SYZY-1 and SYZY-3, collected from a courgette field in 2006 were characterized using molecular and biological means for the first time. These isolates showed biological diversity with regard to their pathogenicity and symptoms. SYZY-1 was more aggressive in cucurbits, but could not induce any infection in Fabaceae. On the contrary, SYZY-3 could not infect cucumber and melon plants, induced milder symptoms in courgette and watermelon but induced local and occasional systemic infection in Fabaceae tested. Nonetheless, according to their molecular characteristics, SYZY-1 and SYZY-3 were closely related. The SYZY-1 CP nucleotide and amino acid sequences had similarity of 99.5% and 100% with those of SYZY-3, respectively. The high similarity of the CP nucleotide sequences of SYZY-1 and SYZY-3 with that of a ZYMV isolate from Germany suggests a common origin. Adaptation to different hosts might have caused the variable biological properties of these Syrian ZYMV isolates.

Characterization of Synergy Between Cucumber mosaic virus and Potyviruses in Cucurbit Hosts

ABSTRACT Mixed infections of cucurbits by Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and potyviruses exhibit a synergistic interaction. Zucchini squash and melon plants coinfected by the potyvirus Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) and either Fny-CMV (subgroup IA) or LS-CMV (subgroup II) displayed strong synergistic pathological responses, eventually progressing to vascular wilt and plant death. Accumulation of Fny- or LS-CMV RNAs in a mixed infection with ZYMV in zucchini squash was slightly higher than infection with CMV strains alone. There was an increase in CMV (+) strand RNA levels, but no increase in CMV (-) RNA3 levels during mixed infection with ZYMV. Moreover, only the level of capsid protein from LS-CMV increased in mixed infection. ZYMV accumulated to similar levels in singly and mixed infected zucchini squash and melon plants. Coinfection of squash with the potyvirus Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) and CMV strains increased both the Fny-CMV RNA levels and the LS-CMV RNA levels. However, CMV (-) strand RNA3 levels were increased little or not at all for CMV on coinfection with WMV. Infection of CMV strains (LS and Fny) containing satellite RNAs (WL47-sat RNA and B5*-sat RNA) reduced the accumulation of the helper virus RNA, except when B5*-sat RNA was mixed with LS- CMV. However, mixed infection containing ZYMV and the CMV strains with satellites reversed the suppression effect of satellite RNAs on helper virus accumulation and increased satellite RNA accumulation. The synergistic interaction between CMV and potyviruses in cucurbits exhibited different features from that documented in tobacco, indicating there are differences in the mechanisms of potyvirus synergistic phenomena.     

Severe mosaic caused by zucchini yellow mosaic virus in cucurbits from Jordan

A virus disease causing severe mosaic in melon (the melon isolate) was identified as a strain of zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV). Identification was based on host range, aphid transmissibility, electron microscopy, and serological tests. The virus was recovered from all cultivated cucurbits in Jordan and from naturally infected Moluccella laevis. It was seed-transmitted in Ranunculus sardous. Host-range comparison showed that the melon isolate and a French isolate belong to a different biotype group from a Connecticut isolate (ZYMV-CT); this was confirmed by indirect ELISA. During 1987–1988. ZYMV appeared to be the predominant virus affecting cucurbits.

Characterization and occurrence of Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus in Sudan

Zucchini yellow mosaic potyvirus (ZYMV) was isolated in 1993 from a squash plant ( Cucurbita pepo cv. Eskandrani) showing severe leaf and fruit distortions, collected in the Gezira region (Sudan). This isolate (ZYMV-Su) was found to be very closely serologically related if not identical to the type strain from Italy. The host range was mostly limited to Cucurbitaceae but systemic infection was found to occur on sesame ( Sesamum indicum ), an important cultivated crop in Sudan. ZYMV-Su induced mosaic symptoms on the resistant melon accession PI 414723, indicating that it belongs to pathotype 2, but did not cause wilting of melon cv. Doublon. ZYMV-Su was efficiently transmitted by Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii in a non-persistent manner. Surveys conducted from 1993 to 1995 revealed that ZYMV occurred in the major cucurbit growing areas in Sudan, in a diversity of crops and agroecosystems.
