广东黄秋葵黄脉曲叶病样中检测到烟粉虱传双生病毒

黄秋葵是近几年来从日本和我国台湾引进的一种蔬菜作物。近期,广东的黄秋葵上发生了黄脉曲叶病。病株的典型症状表现为叶脉黄化,在叶片正面形成网络状,在叶背面叶脉肿大突起明显,病株幼叶小且向下卷曲,甚至整片幼叶黄化。植株早期被感染表现矮化。在发生黄脉曲叶病的黄秋葵田间,其病株率高达60%以上。用烟粉虱传双生病毒简并引物对随机采集的病样进行PCR检测,从这些病样中均能扩增出1条预期大小为570 bp的特异片段;基因克隆及测序分析结果表明,与该特异片段同源的均属双生病毒科菜豆金色花叶病毒属病毒DNA,其中与木尔坦棉花曲叶病毒（Cotton leaf curl Multan virus, CLCuMV）分离物G6相似性最高,为99%。这些研究结果表明,广东黄秋葵黄脉曲叶病中存在烟粉虱传双生病毒,该病害可能也是由CLCuMV侵染引起的。

Diversity analysis of Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus-[potato], causing apical leaf curl disease of potato in India

The complete coat protein (cp) gene sequence of eighty Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus-[potato] (ToLCNDV-[potato]) isolates collected from eleven states were determined. Phylogenetic analysis based on cp gene grouped the isolates into two major clades (I & II) and they shared 95.9–100.0% identity. The DNA A and DNA B of eight representative isolates (six from clade I and two from clade II) were 2739–2740 and 2692–2694 nts long and shared 94.6–99.4% and 97.2–99.5% homology within the isolates, respectively. Among the eight isolates, the DNA A of two isolates (Clade II), GWA-5 and FAI-19 had 94.6–95.3% sequence identity to other six isolates and formed a sub-clade within the ToLCNDV-[potato] isolates. Similar grouping was also revealed with AC1 and AC4 genes of these eight isolates. The DNA A components shared more than 90.0% identity with the DNA A of ToLCNDV isolates from cucurbitaceous crops, tomato, bhendi, 89.0–90.0% with ToLCNDV-papaya isolates and 70.4–74.0% with other tomato leaf curl viruses. Hence, the begomovirus infecting potatoes are the ToLCNDV isolates, designated as ToLCNDV-[potato]. Whereas, the DNA B components shared 86.6–91.7% identity with ToLCNDV isolates from cucurbits, tomato and bhendi. Evidence for intra-species recombination was detected only in DNA A with a maximum of three events in GWA-5 and FAI-19 isolates. Analysis of cp gene, DNA A, iterons and recombination events clearly indicate that two groups of ToLCNDV-[potato] infects potato in India.     

福州市发生由木尔坦棉花曲叶病毒引起的朱槿曲叶病

棉花曲叶病是世界棉花生产上最具毁灭性的病毒病害,其主要病原木尔坦棉花曲叶病毒(Cotton leaf curlMultan virus,CLCuMV)已经入侵我国广东、广西、海南等省多个地理区域,扩散危害范围日益加大.2011-2012年调查发现福建省厦门、福州和宁德等多个城市绿化植物朱槿(Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)发生朱槿曲叶病的流行.应用双生病毒通用引物以及烟粉虱生物型鉴定的通用引物,通过PCR扩增、序列分析等方法,分别检测或鉴定了福州市朱槿曲叶病的病原、介体烟粉虱的生物型以及朱槿病株上烟粉虱的带毒率.结果显示:福州市朱槿曲叶病的病原是木尔坦棉花曲叶病毒,与CLCuMV广东分离物和广西分离物的相似性高达99.6％以上;介体烟粉虱生物型为B型,病株上烟粉虱的带毒率为100％.试验结果说明CLCuMV已经扩散至福建省,应警惕和控制木尔坦棉花曲叶病毒的进一步扩散和危害.

番茄黄化曲叶病毒在湖北首次报道

2014年春季,在湖北省武汉市发现种植的番茄表现植株矮缩,叶片上卷,叶缘黄化等症状。PCR检测结果显示,所有采集的病样中均存在菜豆金色花叶病毒属病毒。进一步通过滚环扩增方法获得了该病毒的湖北分离物HB01的全基因组。基因克隆及序列分析结果表明,该病毒基因组全长为2 781nt,与已报道的番茄黄化曲叶病毒(TYLCV)各分离物同源性在89.0%以上,而与来自中国不同地区的TYLCV分离物的同源率均在97.0%以上。因此,HB01属于TYLCV的一个分离物。     

Association of Tomato leaf curl Joydebpur virus and a betasatellite with leaf curl disease of eggplant

Leaf samples (five) from brinjal/eggplant fields showing upward leaf curling symptoms were collected from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh state, India. The full length genome of begomovirus and associated betasatellite were amplified by PCR, cloned and sequenced. Sequences of homologous DNA-A and its betasatellite in all samples were the same. The samples failed to amplify DNA-B, suggesting that the begomovirus associated with leaf curl disease of eggplant was monopartite. The complete genome (homologous of DNA-A) consists of 2758 nts, whereas the betasatellite has 1352 nts and the genome organization is typical of Old World begomoviruses. The sequence analysis showed high levels of nucleotide sequence identity (79.8–91.7%) of virus with Tomato leaf curl Joydebpur virus (ToLCJoV) infecting chilli in India, suggesting it as a strain of ToLCJoV based on the current ICTV taxonomic criteria for begomovirus strain demarcation. However, the betasatellite associated was identified as a variant of Tomato leaf curl Bangladesh betasatellite (ToLCBDB), with which it shared highest sequence identity of 84.7–94.8%. Phylogenetic analyses of the genome further supported the above results. The recombination analyses of both genome and betasatellite showed that a major part of genome sequences are derived from begomoviruses (ToLCJoV, ChiLCuV, AEV) infecting chilli, tomato, ageratum and betasatellite from PaLCuB as the foremost parents in evolution, suggesting this as a new recombinant virus strain. This is the first report of a monopartite begomovirus and a betasatellite molecule associated with the leaf curl disease of eggplant.     

Identification and characterization of a mechanical transmissible begomovirus causing leaf curl on oriental melon

Oriental melon plants, Cucumis melo var. makuwa cv. Silver Light, showing virus-induced symptoms of mosaic, leaf curl and puckering were observed in the fields of eastern Taiwan in 2007. A virus culture, designated as SL-1, isolated from the diseased melon was established in systemic host plants, Nicotiana benthamiana and oriental melon, by mechanical inoculation. SL-1 did not react to the antisera against common cucurbit-infecting RNA viruses. Viral DNAs extracted from the diseased plant were amplified with the degenerate primers for begomoviruses. The full-length genomic DNA-A and DNA-B of SL-1 were sequenced and found to be closest, with 97.7% and 90.6% nucleotide identity, respectively, to Tomato leaf curl New Delhi begomovirus (ToLCNDV) cucumber isolate from a group of cucurbit-infecting begomoviruses. The virus SL-1 was designated as ToLCNDV oriental melon isolate (ToLCNDV-OM). The pathogenicity of ToLCNDV-OM was confirmed by agroinfection. Progeny virus from the agroinfected N. benthamiana plants was able to infect oriental melon by mechanical inoculation and caused symptoms similar to the original diseased melon in the field. The ToLCNDV-OM also infected five other species of cucurbitaceous plants by mechanical inoculation. This is the first report of a new ToLCNDV isolate causing severe disease on oriental melon in Taiwan.
