小麦黄花叶病毒(WYMV)2个山东分离物的全基因组序列及进化分析

利用5'RACE结合一步法RT-PCR分别从山东泰安与临沂冬小麦上克隆了小麦黄花叶病毒(Wheat yellow mosaic virus,WYMV)的全基因组序列。这2个分离物(TADWK和LYJN)基因组间核苷酸一致性分别为97.21%(RNA1)和95.12%(RNA2)。通过对目前已报道的共14个分离物的基因组不同部分的分析,表明5'UTR是WYMV基因组变化幅度最大的区域,而编码区(ORF)及3'UTR的序列一致性较高且变动幅度小。另外,发现LYJN RNA2的5'UTR与已报道的所有分离物RNA2的核苷酸一致率仅为90%左右。综合分析RNA1和RNA2的系统发生树,表明WYMV各基因组片段呈单独进化特征,不同分离物间存在RNA重排。RNA重组分析显示在LYJN RNA1和TADWK RNA2发现了RNA重组。此研究说明WYMV在山东地区存在分离物分化现象,WYMV的5'UTR是基因组中的突变热点。     

Sequence analysis within the RNA 3 of seven Spanish tomato isolates of Parietaria mottle virus (PMoV-T) reveals important structural differences with the parietaria isolates (PMoV)

The genomic regions encoding the putative movement protein (MP), coat protein (CP) and intergenic region (IGR) of seven Spanish isolates of the Parietaria mottle virus which infects tomato plants (PMoV-T) were sequenced. Values for the genetic diversity of the PMoV-T isolates were 0.056, 0.047 and 0.013 for the CP, MP genes and IGR, respectively. Nucleotide and amino acid sequence comparison of the seven PMoV-T isolates with those of PMoV revealed significant differences. All of them had a cytosine deletion at position 1366, also confirmed in an Italian tomato isolate, which involves a start codon for the CP gene different from that for the PMoV sequence, resulting in a CP 16 amino acids shorter than the PMoV CP. The certainty of a cytosine deletion only associated to the tomato isolates or the possibility of a mistake in the PMoV published sequence are the two hypotheses that could explain this difference. Structural motifs highly conserved in Ilarviruses were identified in PMoV-T MP and CP. A stable hairpin structure is proposed for IGR, by the initiation site for subgenomic RNA 4 synthesis. Phylogenetic analysis of CP and MP amino acid sequences showed that Spanish PMoV-T isolates form a separate group from PMoV and other members of the Ilarvirus genus. Comparative analysis with different PMoV isolates including tomato isolates from other regions and isolates from different hosts are necessary to confirm this differentiation.     

瓜类褪绿黄化病毒新疆分离物基因组分析

2016年秋季,新疆维吾尔自治区吐鲁番市哈密瓜大面积发生叶片黄化和褪绿的病害,症状呈瓜类褪绿黄化病毒(Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus,CCYV)引起的典型特征。通过CCYV的特异性引物对该疑似样本进行了RT-PCR检测,获得了预期大小的扩增片段。随后,对新疆的CCYV分离物(CCYV-Xinjiang)全长基因组进行克隆并测序,获得了CCYV-Xinjiang分离物的RNA1和RNA2全长序列信息。对CCYV-Xinjiang和来自Gen Bank数据库的其他CCYV分离物的基因组序列分析,不同分离物RNA1和RNA2两条链的一致性分别是99.65%~99.93%和99.68%~99.89%。单独对基因组的各个非翻译区(UTRs)和编码区的核苷酸变异分析,数据表明不同区域其变异程度不同,其中RNA2的3'UTR区域变异最大,而RNA1的2个UTRs区域变异最小。对已登录Gen Bank的所有CCYV分离物基因组系统进化树分析结果表明,所有分离物聚在同一个组。另外,对来自Gen Bank的18个分离物的外壳蛋白(CP)氨基酸序列进行系统进化树分析,表明来自伊朗的3个分离物分在组2(GroupⅡ),而来自亚洲其他地区的分离物均被分到组1(GroupⅠ)。基于CCYV基因组的信息,发现来自亚洲地区的CCYV的群体遗传变异很小。     

侵染红肉火龙果的蟹爪兰X病毒贵州分离物基因组分析

 通过高通量测序和RT-PCR扩增,克隆并分析蟹爪兰X病毒(Zygocactus virus X,ZyVX)贵州分离物ZyVX-GZ基因组序列。对表现病毒病症状的红肉火龙果植株进行高通量测序,获得4条ZyVX相关contig。RT-PCR扩增并拼接获得ZyVX-GZ基因组,全长为 6 567 nt,5′-UTR和 3′-UTR分别为60 nt和70 nt。含有5个ORF,分别编码复制酶蛋白、TGB1、TGB2、TGB3蛋白和外壳蛋白。ZyVX-GZ与P39和B1分离物基因组序列一致性均为91%。TGB1-3、外壳蛋白基因与大多数分离物核苷酸和推导的氨基酸序列一致性分别为95%～99%和96%～100%;复制酶基因的核苷酸和推导的氨基酸序列一致性分别为80%～89%和92%～97%。系统进化分析表明,ZyVX群体的遗传分化与寄主种类、地理分布不存在相关性。本研究结果丰富了ZyVX群体的基因组序列信息,为ZyVX的监测和防控提供了基础。     

Genetic variability and evolutionary dynamics of tomato black ring virus population

Tomato black ring virus (TBRV) is an important pathogen infecting a wide range of plant species worldwide. Phylogenetic studies of TBRV have already been conducted, although limited by the use of short genomic regions or a reduced amount of isolates. In the present study, we carried out an exhaustive phylogenetic and population genetic analysis based on the coat protein gene (CP) sequence of 57 TBRV isolates originating from different host plants and European geographic regions (47 isolates from Poland, 8 from Lithuania, one from the UK, and one from Hungary). Moreover, the selective pressure acting on particular codons and coevolution of amino acid residues in the CP were analysed. The results clearly showed that the TBRV population is being shaped by recombination and both positive and purifying selection. The analyses revealed that the placement of TBRV isolates in the phylogenetic trees was nonrandom, with isolates clustering according to host plant families and geographic origin.     

Analysis of the coat protein gene of Indian <Emphasis Type="Italic">Potato virus X</Emphasis> isolates for identification of strain groups and determination of the complete genome sequence of two isolates

Complete coat protein (CP) gene sequences of 66 Potato virus X (PVX) isolates were sequenced and compared with other PVX isolates. The CP gene of these isolates shared 93.9–100.0 % and 97.0–100.0 % identities among them at nucleotide and amino acid sequence level, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis with isolates of known PVX strain groups showed that all 66 isolates were found in clade I (strain groups 1, 3 and 4) and none of them in Clade II (strain groups 2 and 4). The Indian isolates had the 714 bp coat protein gene and were closer to clade I isolates with 92.9–99.5 % identities and distantly related to Clade II isolates (74.2 to 80.0 % identities). Hence, these isolates may belong to either of the strain groups 1, 3 and 4. A threonine residue at position 122 and glutamine residue at position 78 were found conserved in all the Indian isolates suggesting that these isolates cannot overcome Rx1gene and Nx gene mediated resistance, characteristic of group 1 and 3. However, unique amino acid substitutions were observed in Indian isolates and further studies are required to ascertain their role in symptom expression, virulence and host range. In addition, whole genome sequences of two isolates one each from Jalandhar (Punjab) and Kufri (Himachal Pradesh) were also determined. They were 6435 nts long with five ORFs and shared 81.4–97.2 % identities to clade I isolates from USA, Russia, India, Iran, China, Japan, Taiwan and 77.0 to 77.5 % identities with clade II isolates from Peru.     

侵染云南烟草的番茄环纹斑点病毒N基因的分子变异分析

 应用电镜观察和ELISA检测从云南11个县（市）烟草种植区采集的烟草上检测到番茄环纹斑点病毒（Tomato zonate spot virus, TZSV）。根据TZSV N基因设计引物扩增得到了31个TZSV分离物N基因全序列。测序分析表明,31个TZSV N基因核苷酸序列与GenBank中报道的序列相似性在94.9%~98%之间,其推导的氨基酸序列同源性为98.2%~99.3%。构建系统进化树发现云南不同地区的TZSV分离物存在一定差异。氨基酸序列比较发现,文山分离物和西畴分离物具有2个该地区独有的氨基酸位点。     

Nandina mosaic virus is an isolate of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Plantago asiatica mosaic virus</Emphasis>

The complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of Nandina mosaic virus (NaMV), which has tentatively been assigned to the genus Potexvirus, is reported. The sequence is 6066 nt in length, excluding the poly(A) tail, and contains ORFs coding for proteins of 155, 25, 12, 13, and 21 kDa (ORFs 1–4 and the CP), respectively. The genomic organization of the virus and the signature motifs in the putative protein products are similar to the data reported for potexviruses for which complete sequences are known. Phylogenetic comparisons indicated that NaMV is most closely related to Plantago asiatica mosaic virus (PlAMV). Pairwise comparisons of the sequence data for these two viruses indicate that, based on criteria recently proposed for genera within the family Flexiviridae, NaMV and PlAMV should be considered to be strains/isolates of the same viral species. Both NaMV and PlAMV were first reported in 1976 but, as PlAMV was sequenced first, this name should take precedence with the name NaMV being relegated to a synonym.     

黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒山西西瓜分离物外壳蛋白基因序列分析

通过病毒dsRNA分离技术、非序列依赖性PCR扩增(sequence-independent amplification,SIA)技术和RTPCR等手段对采自山西太谷的西瓜病样进行了检测与鉴定,确定其为黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒(Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus,CGMMV)所侵染。为明确CGMMV西瓜分离物(CGMMV-SXTG)的分类地位,本研究进一步克隆了CGMMV-SXTG的外壳蛋白基因(coat protein,CP)全序列并进行序列分析,系统进化树分析显示该分离物与亚洲分离物亲缘关系较近,而与欧洲分离物亲缘关系较远,表明该病毒的不同分离物在分组上可能与地域有一定的关系;接着对不同分离物的CP基因核苷酸序列和氨基酸序列进行同源性比对分析,结果表明该分离物与中国山东分离物(TANG)同源性最高,分别达到99.8%和99.6%。     

Geographic distribution and genetic diversity of Fusarium graminearum and F. asiaticum on wheat spikes throughout China

A large number of Fusarium graminearum and F. asiaticum isolates were collected from wheat spikes from all regions in China with a history of fusarium head blight (FHB) epidemics. Isolates were analysed to investigate their genetic diversity and geographic distribution. Sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) analyses of 437 isolates resolved both species, with 21% being F. graminearum (SCAR type 1) and 79% being F. asiaticum (SCAR type 5). AFLP profiles clearly resolved two groups, A and B, that were completely congruent with both species. However, more diversity was detected by AFLP, revealing several subgroups within each group. In many cases, even for isolates from the same district, AFLP haplotypes differed markedly. Phylogenetic analyses of multilocus DNA sequence data indicated that all isolates of SCAR type 1, AFLP group A were F. graminearum , whilst isolates of SCAR type 5, AFLP group B were F. asiaticum , demonstrating that it is an efficient method for differentiating these two species. Both species seem to have different geographic distributions within China. Fusarium graminearum was mainly obtained from wheat growing in the cooler regions where the annual average temperature was 15°C or lower. In contrast, the vast majority of F. asiaticum isolates were collected from wheat growing in the warmer regions where the annual average temperature is above 15°C and where FHB epidemics occur most frequently. This is the first report of the distribution of, and genetic diversity within, F. graminearum and F. asiaticum on wheat spikes throughout China.     

Biological and Molecular Properties of a Begomovirus from Dicliptera sexangularis

ABSTRACT Sixangle foldwing, Dicliptera sexangularis (Acanthaceae), showing severe yellow mottle and leaf distortion symptoms was collected from the shoreline of Calusa Island (Lee County, FL). The putative virus was transmitted from infected D. sexangularis to healthy seedlings by mechanical, whitefly (Bemisia tabaci biotype B), and graft-inoculations. Different forms of geminivirus-like DNAs were detected in total DNA extracted from infected plants by Southern blot hybridization analyses using DNA-A and -B of Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) from Guatemala as probes. Preliminary polymerase chain reaction experiments and sequence comparisons indicated that the virus was a distinct bipartite begomovirus. The virus was designated Dicliptera yellow mottle virus (DiYMV). Replicative dsDNAs of DiYMV were extracted, digested with selected restriction enzymes, and cloned into a plasmid vector. Both DNA-A and -B were sequenced and compared with those of other begomoviruses. Phylogenetic analyses using AV1, AC1, and BV1 nucleotide sequences indicated that DiYMV has a close relationship with the New World begomoviruses, especially those distributed in the nearby geographic areas of the Florida coast and the Caribbean Basin. However, different percent nucleotide sequence identities and phylogenetic relationships were detected when different open reading frames (ORFs) of DiYMV were compared with their counterparts from begomoviruses from the Caribbean Basin. Based on phylogenetic analyses of the AC1 and BV1 ORFs, DiYMV was closely related to BGMV type II isolates, whereas sequence comparisons of the common region and the AC4-derived amino acid sequences indicated its close relationship with Potato yellow mosaic virus from Venezuela.     

A coat protein transgene from a Scottish isolate of potato mop-top virus mediates strong resistance against Scandinavian isolates which have similar coat protein genes

Resistance tests were made on seedlings of transformed lines of Nicotiana benthamiana which contain a transgene encoding the coat protein (CP) gene of a Scottish isolate of potato mop-top virus (PMTV). This transgene has been reported to confer strong resistance to the PMTV isolate from which the transgene sequence was derived and also to a second Scottish isolate. Plants of lines of the transgenic N. benthamiana were as resistant to two Swedish and two Danish PMTV isolates as to a Scottish isolate, and of five lines tested, greater than 93.5% of transgenic plants were immune. The coat protein gene sequences of these four Scandinavian isolates were very similar to those of the two Scottish isolates. The greatest divergence between the isolates was three amino acid changes and there was less than 2% change in CP gene nucleotide sequence. It is concluded that the PMTV CP transgene used in these experiments could confer resistance against isolates from different geographical areas because it is becoming apparent that the CP genes of PMTV isolates are highly conserved.     

油菜花叶病毒山西地黄分离物的全基因组序列测定与分析

 采用双链RNA(double-stranded RNA, dsRNA)技术和非序列依赖PCR扩增(sequence-independent amplification,SIA)方法对感病地黄进行分子鉴定,并测定油菜花叶病毒(Youcai mosaic virus,YoMV)山西地黄分离物(YoMV-SX)的基因组全序列。序列测定及分析发现侵染地黄的病毒为油菜花叶病毒(Youcai mosaic virus,YoMV)。获得YoMV-SX(GenBank登录号JX422022)全长为6 304 nt,5′UTR长度为68 nt,3′UTR长度为236 nt,含有4个开放阅读框(open reading frame,ORF)。全序列核苷酸一致性分析显示YoMV-SX与Tobamovirus亚组Ⅲ中分离物的一致性为90.7%～96.0%,与同属亚组Ⅰ和Ⅱ的一致性仅为50.2%～63.3%。全序列系统进化分析表明,YoMV-SX与YoMV-Wh形成一个独立分支,亲缘关系最近。这是YoMV侵染地黄的首次报道。     

The coat proteins and putative movement proteins of isolates of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus from different host species and geographic origins are extensively conserved

A complete sequence for the RNA 3 of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) is described (Genbank Accession U57046). Primers from this sequence were used to amplify both the movement protein and coat protein genes of 3 other isolates of PNRSV originating from different host species and geographic locations. Comparisons of these sequences with those of other published sequences for PNRSV and the closely related apple mosaic virus (ApMV) showed that both the movement proteins and coat proteins of isolates of PNRSV are extensively conserved irrespective of either the original host or the geographic origin. The movement protein and coat protein of ApMV and PNRSV are sufficiently conserved to suggest that these two viruses may have evolved from a common ancestor. The amino acid sequence of the two coat proteins shows areas of similarity and difference that would explain the serological continuum reported to occur among isolates of these two viruses. Nevertheless, the movement protein and coat protein of the two viruses are sufficiently different so that ApMV and PNRSV should be considered to be distinct viruses.     

Phylogenetic Analyses of Phytopathogenic Isolates of Verticillium spp

ABSTRACT To better understand the genetic relationships between Verticillium dahliae isolates from lettuce and other phytopathogenic Verticillium spp. isolates from various hosts and geographic locations, the complete intergenic spacer (IGS) region of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) and the beta-tubulin gene were amplified and sequenced. The sequences of the complete IGS region and the beta-tubulin gene were used alone and in combination to infer genetic relationships among different isolates of Verticillium with the maximum-likelihood distance method. Phylogenetic analyses set sequences into four distinct groups comprising isolates of V. albo-atrum, V. tricorpus, and V. dahliae from cruciferous and noncruciferous hosts. Within the four Verticillium groups, isolates of V. dahliae from cruciferous hosts displayed the closest affinity to V. dahliae from noncruciferous hosts. Isolates of V. dahliae from noncruciferous hosts could be further divided into four subgroups based on sequence similarities within the IGS region. Cross-pathogenicity tests demonstrated that most Verticillium isolates were as virulent on other hosts as on their hosts of origin. A phenogram based on the cross pathogenicity of individual isolates resembled those derived from the IGS and beta-tubulin sequence comparisons. On the basis of the data presented, the potential origin of some isolates of V. dahliae pathogenic on lettuce is proposed.     

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.     

Characterizations of Carrot thin leaf virus based on host reactions and complete genomic sequences

Host range of a cilantro isolate of Carrot thin leaf virus (CTLV-Cs) was determined to include 15 plant species. The virus was also transmitted to nine of 11 tested apiaceous species by aphids. Complete genomic sequences of CTLV-Cs and a carrot isolate of CTLV (CTLV-Dc) were determined to be 9,491 and 9,490 nucleotides, respectively, excluding the 3′-poly(A) tail. Sequence analyses showed that the two isolates shared 98 % identities at both genomic and polyprotein sequence levels. Their genomic organization is typical of potyviruses, and their polyproteins contain conserved motifs found in members of the genus Potyvirus. Pairwise comparisons show that the virus shares 52.0–59.6 % identities to those of other members in the genus Potyvirus at genomic sequence level. Phylogenetic analyses confirm that CTLV is a distinct potyvirus most closely related to Konjac mosaic virus. Both biological and molecular results also showed that the two CTLV isolates were very similar although they were isolated from different hosts at different times.
