黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒对西瓜产量、品质及种子带毒的影响

研究了西瓜不同时期接种黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒(Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus,CGMMV)后对其生长、产量、品质和种子带毒的影响。西瓜植株接种CGMMV越早其生长受到抑制越明显,砧木期、嫁接后定植前、定植期、压蔓期、授粉期各处理的株高、叶片数、叶片长与对照相比差异极显著(p0.01),而结瓜以后接种CGMMV对西瓜生长状况无显著影响。压蔓期前3个生育期接种该病毒,西瓜产量损失分别为56.49%、55.48%和51.14%。而压蔓期以后接种该病毒,西瓜产量损失与对照相比仍分别降低17%、13.1%和14.35%。关于倒瓤情况,压蔓期前接种该病毒可导致西瓜果实100%倒瓤,压蔓期、授粉期接种处理西瓜倒瓤率分别为48%和34%,即使结瓜后再接种病毒西瓜倒瓤率仍高达18%。血清学检测表明,压蔓期前接种的西瓜其果肉和种子均携带CGM-MV,带毒率达100%;结瓜后再接种CGMMV西瓜种胚和果肉的带毒率仍然高达64%。检测种胚和果肉病毒含量表明,接种时期越早病毒含量越高,但结瓜后接种仍有较高的病毒含量,种胚和果肉的病毒含量分别达5.98 mg/mL和5.64 mg/mL。     

葫芦种子传黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒的检测*

从感染黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒（Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus, CGMMV）的葫芦植株上收取种子,通过苗期症状观察法、双抗体夹心酶联免疫吸附法（DAS-ELISA）、免疫捕获反转录PCR（IC-RT-PCR）法测定葫芦种子的带毒情况,并用生物学接种方法测定葫芦种子携带病毒的侵染活性。苗期症状观察法结果表明,199株幼苗有2株表现花叶斑驳症状,种子传毒率为1.01%;而利用DAS-ELISA和IC-RT-PCR法随机检测30粒葫芦病株种子,CGMMV检出率为100%。种子各部位携带的CGMMV接种葫芦表现典型的花叶斑驳症状,表明葫芦种子携带的CGMMV具有侵染活性。DAS-ELISA检测葫芦种子CGMMV的灵敏度为1/5120种子研磨液。     

A new flower breaking tobamovirus ofStreptocarpus

A virus was isolated fromStreptocarpus plants that showed colour breaking of the flowers. Initial diagnostic tests indicated that this virus was a member of the Tobamovirus genus. The virus could be transmitted mechanically to several test plants. Its stability in plant sap was in line with that of other tobamoviruses, i.e. infectivity was lost after 10 min incubation at 90 °C and after dilution to 10^–8. In addition, the morphology of the virus was typical for tobamoviruses. The particles had a length of about 304 nm. On test plants, the virus fromStreptocarpus could be distinguished from 7 well-defined tobamoviruses.Nicotiana glutinosa showed the most characteristic symptoms. In agar double-diffusion tests and/or double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, no cross reactivity was observed in heterologous combinations with these 7 and 3 other tobamoviruses. Mechanical inoculation of the virus to virus-freeStreptocarpus plants resulted in the appearance of flower breaking in about 50% of the plants. On the basis of these findings, it is concluded that the virus that causes flower breaking inStreptocarpus is a distinct member of the Tobamovirus genus, and the nameStreptocarpus flower-break virus is proposed.     

Immunolocalization of Pepper mild mottle virus in Capsicum annuum seeds

To clarify the mechanism of seed transmission of Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), the virus was immunolocalized in Capsicum annuum seeds using fluorescence microscopy. Two distinct patterns were observed: In the first, PMMoV was present in the epidermis and parenchyma but not in the endosperm or embryo; in the second, the virus was restricted to the surface of the epidermis and parenchyma. These findings shed light on the fundamental mechanisms of seed transmission of tobamoviruses and may aid in the design of new methods to prevent the spread of seedborne virus diseases.     

Disinfection of pepper seed infected with different strains of capsicum mosaic virus by trisodium phosphate and dry heat treatment

Disinfection of pepper seed infected with capsicum mosaic virus (CaMV) by immersion in 100 g/1 Na₃ P0₄ solution was compared with dry heat treatment at 76°C. The virus content of the seed varied with the CaMV strains used to infect the pepper cultivars and the time of harvest of seeds from infected plants. Immersion times in Na₃PO₄ had to be increased from 15 min to 2 h to obtain near-complete virus inactivation; these treatments had no effects on germination.
Heating seed in an oven at 76°C for 3 days following a waiting period of 3 months after harvest always eliminated all the virus present, but adversely affected germination. This resulted in delayed emergence and a reduction in the number of seedlings suitable for further raising. The viability of heat-treated seeds also decreased with continued storage after treatment.
There were inconsistent differences in germination of seed from healthy plants and plants infected with the CaMV strains P8 or P11. The possibility of internal seed infection and practical consequences are discussed.     

The effect of chemical and heat treatments on germination of Commelina benghalensis L. aerial seeds

The effects of concentrated sulphuric acid, dry heat, hot water and NaOCl treatments on the germinability of dormant large and small aerial Commelina benghalensis L. seeds were evaluated. Concentrated sulphuric acid and NaOCl treatments were more effective than the dry heat and hot water treatments in breaking the dormancy of C. benghalensis aerial seeds. Treatments increased germination of both seed types due to its effect on the seed coat integrity. A scanning electron microscope revealed that changes as a result of scarification occurred in the hilum region of the seed and in the seed coat surface. The large aerial seeds were affected by all treatments more than the small aerial seeds. Difference in germinability between the two seed types was related to the difference in their seed vigour.

Detection of Tobamoviruses from Soils by Non-precoated Indirect ELISA

A method for detecting tobamoviruses from field soils was developed using non-precoated indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Id-ELISA). Absorbance values in Id-ELISA were relatively low after directly applying Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV)-infested soil extract. However, heat treating the soil extract before application greatly enhanced the absorbance values. The heat treatment was essential for the Id-ELISA detection of tobamoviruses from infested soil, although the efficiency of virus recovery varied depending on the properties of soil. The number of local lesions in the infectivity assay was consistent with the absorbance values in Id-ELISA. Moreover, the absorbance values in Id-ELISA were correlated with the incidence of soil transmission of PMMoV. Thus, Id-ELISA combined with heat treatment is a practical technique for the diagnosis of infestation with Tobamovirus in field soils, Gray Lowland soil and Sand-dune Regosol.

应用MNP-RT-PCR方法检测黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒

 A novel RT-PCR method integrated with Magnetic Nano Particles (MNP), MNP-RT-PCR, was set up for detection of Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV). After the virus particles in crude sap were concentrated by MNP, viral RNAs were released and were detected by RT-PCR. CGMMV could be detected in as less as 10 ng watermelon leaf materials. Compared with normal RT-PCR, the method decreased the inhibitors of plant material and steps for extracting RNA, and also increased the sensitivity of RT-PCR detection in less time. The method is simple and suitable for quick detection of plant virus in a large number of samples.

The honeybee Apis mellifera contributes to Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus spread via pollination

The tobamovirus Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is efficiently transmitted between plants by mechanical contact. So far, no clear evidence has been reported regarding the transmission potential of the virus by beneficial pollinator insects. This study examined the capability of the well‐known pollinator honeybee Apis mellifera to transmit CGMMV in cucurbits using melon and cucumber plants as a model. In order to provide a clear answer to that question, five experiments were designed on various scales performed under three environmental conditions. The results show that under protected cropping conditions, CGMMV is transmitted by the honeybees. The location of the beehive in relation to both the CGMMV primary inoculum source and the healthy plants during honeybee foraging plays an important role in the efficiency of CGMMV spread. Furthermore, in the presence of early stage CGMMV‐inoculated plants, the efficiency of CGMMV spread to uninoculated plants placed on the honeybees’ path to the beehive may increase. To the authors’ knowledge, CGMMV transmission by honeybees has not yet been shown, and this study can be adopted for other tobamovirus related research.

Biological and molecular characterization of a new cucurbit-infecting tobamovirus

ABSTRACT An uncharacterized virus was isolated from greenhouse-grown cucumber plants. Biological and serological data described in the present study indicated that the virus belonged in the genus Tobamovirus. The host range of the virus included several plant species within the family Cucurbitaceae. The virus designated Cucumber fruit mottle mosaic virus (CFMMV) causes severe mottling or mosaic on cucumber fruits, and its fast spread within greenhouses could lead to significant economic losses in cucumber crops. The genome of CFMMV has been completely sequenced and its genome organization was typical of a Tobamovirus. However, its sequence was distinct from other described viruses within the group of cucurbit-infecting Tobamoviruses. Comparisons of sequences and phylogenetic analysis suggested that the cucurbit-infecting Tobamoviruses be separated into two subgroups: subgroup I comprising the strains and isolates referred to in the literature as Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) (CV3, CV4, CGMMV-W, CGMMV-SH, and CGMMV-Is) and subgroup II comprising CFMMV, Kyuri green mottle mosaic virus (KGMMV), and the Yodo strain of CGMMV, which is closely related to KGMMV and may be considered a strain of it.     

Real‐time quantitative PCR assays for the rapid detection and quantification of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli in Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) seeds

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (Fop) is a devastating pathogen that can cause significant economic losses and can be introduced into fields through infested Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) seeds. Efficient seed health testing methods can aid in preventing long‐distance dissemination of this pathogen by contaminated seeds. In order to improve detection of Fop in seed, a rapid, accurate and sensitive real‐time PCR assay (qPCR) protocol was developed for detection of Fop in common bean seeds. Seed lots of seven cultivars with infection incidence ranging from 0·25 to 20% were prepared by mixing known amounts of Fop‐infected seeds with Fop‐free seeds. Direct comparisons between SYBR Green and TaqMan qPCR methods were performed using primers based on the Fop virulence factor ftf1. The primers developed in this study produced a 63 bp product for highly virulent strains of Fop but did not produce an amplicon for nonpathogenic or weakly pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum from P. vulgaris or other hosts. Under optimized conditions, both qPCR assays detected Fop infection at low levels (0·25%); however, the results suggest the TaqMan assay was more reliable at quantification than the SYBR Green assay. Linear regression models were fitted to the relationships between results of qPCR assays and infection incidence, but the models differed among cultivars. Fungal biomass per seed differed among cultivars and was related to seed size. The results indicate that the TaqMan assay developed in this study is a useful tool for the detection and quantification of Fop in bean seeds.
