Evolution of Virulence in Natural Populations of the Satellite RNA of Cucumber mosaic virus

From 1986 to 1992, an epidemic of tomato necrosis caused by Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) plus CMV satellite RNAs (satRNAs) occurred in eastern Spain. From 1989 onward, the frequency of tomato necrosis di-minshed, and it almost completely disappeared after 1991. Analyses of plants infected with CMV and with CMV satRNA and of the phenotype (necrogenic or nonnecrogenic for tomato) induced by some CMV satRNA variants, showed that the disappearance of tomato necrosis was due to changes in the genetic composition of the satRNA population (i.e., to its evolution toward decreased virulence). Analysis of components of the fitness of satRNA variants, necrogenic or nonnecrogenic for tomato, showed that necrogenic and nonnecrogenic variants did not differ in infectivity or in their accumulation level in tomato and that they represented the same fraction of encapsidated RNA. Other fitness components were positively correlated with the greater virulence of necrogenic variants, in that they were favored in mixed infections with nonnecrogenic variants and were more effectively passed into CMV progeny than were nonnecrogenic variants. On the other hand, necrogenic CMV satRNA variants caused a more pronounced depression in the accumulation of CMV than did nonnecro-genic variants, which could affect the efficiency of aphid transmission. Thus, the evolution of virulence in the CMV satRNA population can be explained by trade-offs between factors that determine virulence and factors that affect transmission, as predicted by theoretical models on the evolution of virulence in parasites.

Analysis of natural populations and possible natural reassortment of Cucumber mosaic virus

Plants naturally infected with Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were collected and analyzed by electrophoresis of the replicative form of dsRNA and by Northern blot hybridization using CMV RNA-specific probes. Some of the CMV-infected plants, especially winter crops, contained two kinds of RNA 1 segments or RNA 2 segments (or both), suggesting that mixed infections of CMV occurred naturally. Single-aphid-transmitted isolates (SATIs) from the field isolate containing two RNA 1 segments were grouped into three types by the electrophoretic mobility of RNA 1 (i.e., those containing one slow segment, those containing one fast segment, and those containing both). Furthermore, SATIs and single-lesion isolates, generated from the plants inoculated with a mixture of two CMV isolates that could be differentiated by their electrophoretic dsRNA profiles, were analyzed by dsRNA, indicating that nonparental progenies were observed. These results suggested that genetic reassortment of CMV RNA may occur in nature and that this is an important mechanism in CMV evolution.     

Identification and Subgrouping of Cucumber mosaic virus with Mouse Monoclonal Antibodies

ABSTRACT Using a mixture of isolates of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from subgroups I and II as immunogens, 20 mouse hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies were produced. A reliable method for efficient detection and accurate subgrouping of CMV isolates has been developed. Tests with 12 well-characterized strains of CMV and other cucumoviruses demonstrated the presence of epitopes that were virus and subgroup specific. Analyses of 109 accessions of CMV isolates collected from various parts of the world revealed 70% were subgroup I, with 20% identified as subgroup II. Seven isolates (6%) did not react with group-specific antibodies but did react with antibodies that recognized all CMV isolates. Differential reactions among isolates suggested a total of 10 epi-topes were recognized. The antigenic diversity among subgroup II CMVs was greater than for the subgroup I isolates, even though fewer subgroup II isolates were tested.     

Host Range and Characterization of Sunflower mosaic virus

ABSTRACT Sunflower mosaic is caused by a putative member of the family Potyviridae. Sunflower mosaic virus (SuMV) was characterized in terms of host range, physical and biological characteristics, and partial nucleotide and amino acid sequence. Cells infected with SuMV had cytoplasmic inclusion bodies typical of potyviruses. Of 74 genera tested, only species in Helianthus, Sanvitalia, and Zinnia, all Asteraceae, were systemic hosts. Commercial sunflower hybrids from the United States, Europe, and South Africa were all equally susceptible. The mean length of purified particles is approximately 723 nm. The virus was transmitted by Myzus persicae and Capitphorus elaegni, and also was seedborne in at least one sunflower cultivar. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests with a broad-spectrum potyvirus monoclonal antibody were strongly positive. SuMV-specific polyclonal antisera recognized SuMV and, to a lesser extent, Tobacco etch virus (TEV). When tested against a panel of 31 potyvirus-differentiating monoclonal antibodies, SuMV was distinct from any potyvirus previously tested. SuMV shared four epitopes with TEV, but had a reaction profile more similar to Tulip breaking virus (TBV). SuMV did not possess epitopes unique only to TBV. The predicted coat protein had a molecular weight of 30.5 kDa. The 3' end of the virus genome was cloned and sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis of the coat protein amino acid sequence revealed that SuMV is a distinct species within the family Potyviridae, most closely related to TEV.     

Molecular characterization of a Cucumber mosaic virus isolate associated with mosaic disease of banana in India

Severe mosaic accompanied by leaf and fruit deformation symptoms was observed on banana plants growing in three banana farms of Uttar Pradesh, India. The disease incidence was approximately 18–25% at these locations during the three successive years from 2005 to 2007. The occurrence of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was initially detected by bioassay, electron microscopic observations, Western blot immunoassay and RT-PCR. For molecular identification of virus, the RNA 1a, RNA 2b and RNA 3 genomic fragments were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. The sequence analysis of these genomic fragments revealed its highest identities and close relationships with Indian strains of CMV of subgroup IB; therefore, virus associated with the mosaic disease of banana was identified as an isolate of CMV of subgroup IB. In the limited reports existing from India, which provided preliminary serological or only coat protein-based identification of CMV infecting banana but the comprehensive studies were lacking. In the present communication, we present a detailed biological, serological and molecular characterization of CMV-Banana for the first time from India.

Transmission efficiency of Cucumber mosaic virus by aphids associated with virus epidemics in snap bean

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a major component of the virus complex that has become more pronounced in snap bean in the midwestern and northeastern United States since 2001. Multiple-vector-transfer tests were done to estimate the CMV transmission efficiencies (p) of the main aphid species identified in commercial snap bean fields in New York and Pennsylvania. The four most efficient vectors (p > 0.05) were Aphis gossypii, A. glycines, Acyrthosiphon pisum, and Therioaphis trifolii, which were all significant species in the migratory aphid populations in snap bean. Moderately efficient vectors (0.01 < p < 0.04) were A. spiraecola, A. craccivora, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, and Rhopalosiphum maidis. Poor vectors (p < 0.01) included A. fabae, Nearctaphis bakeri, and Myzus persicae. Only one species, Sitobion avenae, failed to transmit CMV in replicated tests. Estimates of p were consistent between different clones of the same aphid species and among three different field isolates of CMV tested. Single-vector-transfer test results for a subset of the species supported those obtained via the multiple-vector-transfer approach. Our results are consistent with the notion that A. glycines is a major vector of recent CMV epidemics in snap bean, but that species is only one of several that are involved.

Molecular characterization of Cucumber mosaic virus strain causing severe mosaic disease on petunia in India

Severe mosaic, yellowing and stunting symptoms were observed on petunia (Petunia hybrida L.) growing in pots at NBRI and in various gardens of Lucknow, India. The association of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) with the mosaic disease was detected based on positive bioassay on susceptible hosts, isometric cored virus particles of ~28?nm during electron microscopic observations in leaf dip preparations and positive amplification of expected size (~650?bp) during RT-PCR using coat protein gene specific primers. Further, the complete RNA 3 genomic fragment of virus isolate was amplified by RT-PCR using RNA 3 specific primers. The obtained amplicons of ~2.2 Kb were cloned and sequenced. The analysis of sequence data of RNA 3 revealed highest sequence identities (96%) with several CMV strains which belong to subgroup IB. The virus isolate also showed closest phylogenetic relationships with banana strain of CMV of subgroup IB (Acc. EF178298) reported from India. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first molecular characterization of CMV strain of subgroup IB causing severe mosaic disease on petunia in India.     

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。     

Host range and some properties of Physalis mosaic virus,a new virus of the turnip yellow mosaic virus group

An apparently undescribed virus was isolated fromPhysalis subglabrata in Illinois, USA, and its properties were studied. The virus was namedPhysalis mosaic virus (PMV). It was readily transmitted by sap inoculation to 23 out of 34 Solanaceae tested, toChenopodium foetidum andSonchus oleraceus but not to 28 other non-solanaceous species inoculated. Purified preparations of PMV contained isometric particles of 27 nm in diameter, which sedimented as two components with sedimentation coefficients of 50 and 112 S. The 112 S component was infectious, the 52 S component was not. The virus contained 38% ribonucleic acid with a molar base content of G 14.4%, A 22.9%, C 37,2% and U 25.5%.Purified preparations were highly infectious; a concentration of about 6000 particles per ml was infectious on plants.PMV is a member of the Andean potato latent virus subgroup of the turnip yellow mosaic virus group. The virus was closely related to the viruses: Andean potato latent, belladonna mottle, dulcamara mottle and egg-plant mosaic.Samenvatting Een nog niet eerder beschreven virus, dat in de staat Illinois (V.S. van Amerika) opPhysalis subglabrata was gevonden, werd in Wageningen bestudeerd. Het virus dat Physalis mosaic virus (PMV) (in het Nederlands:Physalis-mozaïekvirus) werd genoemd, kon met sap worden overgebracht.BehalveChenopodium foetidum enSonchus oleraceus bleken ook 23 van de 34 getoetste soorten uit de familie Solanaceae vatbaar voor dit virus te zijn. Gezuiverde virus preparaten bevatten isometrische deeltjes met een diameter van 27 nm (Fig. 2) Het virus bestaat uit twee deeltjes met sedimentatie-coëfficiënten van 112 en 50 S. Het 112 S deeltje bleek infectieus te zijn, het andere niet. Op grond van de sedimentatiecoëfficiënten kan worden berekend dat het 112 S deeltje 38% nucleïnezuur bevat. Voor de basenverhouding in het nucleïnezuur werd 22,9% adenine, 14,4% guanine, 37,2% cytosine en 25,5% uracil gevonden (Tabel 1). Het hoge gehalte van cytosine kwam ook tot uiting in de U.V. absorptiekromme van het virus en het nucleïnezuur (Fig. 1). Het gezuiverde virus bleek zeer infectieus te zijn; 6000 deeltjes/ml waren in staat een plant van de soortNicotiana clevelandii ziek te maken.Op grond van serologisch onderzoek kon het virus tot de turnip yellow mosaic virus groep worden gerekend. Het vertoonde serologische verwantschap met de Andean potato latent virus (APLV) subgroep (Tabel 2). In premunitieproeven bood het slechts een geringe bescherming tegen APLV en dulcamara mottle virus. Het omgekeerde werd eveneens geconstateerd. De leden van de APLV-subgroep kunnen op grond van hun waardplantenreeks van elkaar onderscheiden worden (Tabel 3).     

系统侵染的番茄植株中黄瓜花叶病毒的时序变化

 采用实时荧光定量PCR (FQ-PCR)和DAS-ELISA方法,研究了22~26℃温室条件下番茄幼苗中黄瓜花叶病毒CNA株系(CMV-CNA)各基因组RNA组分及其外壳蛋白(CP)含量的动态变化,同时结合同期感病植株症状发展和病情指数,分析并探讨CMV各基因组RNA、CP以及病症显示程度之间的时间效应及其相关性。以18S rRNA为内参照,FQ-PCR相对定量分析结果显示:接种后5~30 d,CMV三分体基因组RNA在系统侵染的番茄组织中负荷量变化趋势大体一致,但是不同时期含量差异显著,均经历对数增长期、稳定期和回落期。其中,以RNA2负荷量变化情况最为平缓。DAS-ELISA检测结果显示:CP含量随接种时间延长而持续升高,但其对数增长趋势相对滞后于基因组RNA。番茄幼苗发病症状与CMV基因组RNA及CP负荷量的变化趋势大体一致,但症状表现时间相对滞后。CMV-CNA株系在番茄幼苗中以基因组RNA、CP以及病症显示先后次序出现高峰期,显示病毒基因组RNA及其CP在植物组织内负荷量的变化与植株症状表现并不同步。其动态变化规律将为研究CMV侵染机制,病毒与寄主互作及防病控病提供量化依据。
