云南甘蔗宿根矮化病调查及种茎温水处理脱菌效果检测

 Based on the specific primer from the nucleotide sequences between 16S-23S rDNA, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach for detecting Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx) was established. The approach was applied to detect Lxx from 30 cultivars collected from two main sugar cane producing areas in Yunnan and 10 hot-water treatment samples. The results showed that 80% of the cultivars were infected by Lxx and hot-water treatment was proved to be an efficient measure to control but not completely eliminate Lxx in sugar cane tissues. The PCR products amplified from six infected cultivars were cloned and sequenced, six sequences were acquired and analyzed. It indicated that the six sequences were identical and showed 100% similarity with the isolates from Brazil, Australia and Fujian, and 99.54% with the isolate from Louisiana.     

香蕉线条病毒ORFⅡ基因的原核表达及抗体制备

 ORFⅡ gene of Banana streak virus GuangDong isolate (BSV-GD) was amplified from a BSV-GD recombinant plasmid by PCR, and the gene was expressed by being cloned into prokaryote expression vector pET-28b (+). The fusion protein was about 16.5 kDa in size and was soluble with SDS-PAGE analysis. The purified protein was obtained by using the histidine labeling kit of N-terminus of protein. The antiserum was obtained by immunizing healthy rabbits with the purified protein. Western blot and ELISA analysis showed that the special antiserum of BSV possessed high titer, which was tested as 1:51 200. The study was a base for further research on BSV including ORFⅡ gene function and virus detection.

进境豇豆种子携带种传病毒的检测与鉴定

 Imported cowpea seeds were detected with growing test, ELISA assay and RT-PCR method. The ELISA results showed that cowpea seedlings with symptoms reacted positively with antibody against Southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV). The 979 bp of fragment could be amplified from two positive ELISA samples using primers specific for Southern cowpea mosaic virus (SCPMV), and the sequence determination results proved that the pathogen existing in imported cowpea seeds was SCPMV. The positive ELISA results with SBMV antibody could be further confirmed by RT-PCR amplification with specific primers designed to amplify the coat protein gene and 3' noncoding region of SCPMV and SBMV. The RT-PCR method presented here was suitable for molecular identification of SBMV and SCPMV in entry-exit plant quarantine laboratories.     

来自安徽不同寄主PVY分离物的血清学鉴定及其cp基因分子进化分析

 Tobacco and potato samples showing symptoms of PVY were collected from different regions in Anhui Province, and the ELISA results of partial samples were positive. The total RNA was extracted from the positive samples by TRIZOL methods. Specific primer pair was designed to amplify cp gene of PVY by RT-PCR. Sequencing results indicated that the full length of cp gene of PVY from tobacco (PVY-CP-4) and pota-to (PVY-CP-7) is 801 nts, and each of them encodes 266 amino acids. A phylogenetic tree based on alignment of cp nucleotide sequences was constructed and the sequence comparing of cp gene was conducted. The results showed that PVY-CP-4 could be grouped into one branch with PVY^O and PVY^N:O and shared the highest sequence similarity (99.4%) with PVY^O (EF026074). It was suggested that PVY-CP-4 derived from tobacco in Hefei might belong to PVY^O. PVY-CP-7 clustered together with PVYN and PVYNTN and formed another branch. Furthermore, PVY-CP-7 shared the highest sequence similarity (98.3%) with PVY^NTN(AJ890347), PVY^NTN (EF026075) and PVY^NTN(AJ585342). It was supposed that PVY-CP-7 derived from potato in Wuhe probably belonged to PVY^NTN.

Molecular diagnostics of some trichodorid nematodes and associated Tobacco rattle virus

Several Paratrichodorus and Trichodorus (trichodorid) nematode species are natural vectors of Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) and cause economically important diseases, especially in potato and ornamental bulbous crops. Identification of trichodorid species based on morphological characters is laborious, time-consuming, and requires the services of highly trained personnel. Molecular diagnostics for trichodorid nematodes, using the ribosomal DNA repeat unit, were successfully developed to distinguish two Paratrichodorus and two Trichodorus species. The complete sequences of the 18S genes and the ITS-1 regions for these species were obtained and species-specific primers successfully designed for them. An RT-PCR assay was developed utilizing isolate-specific primers that amplify serologically distinguishable strains of TRV in individual trichodorid nematodes. The primers were based on the highly conserved RNA-1 segment of the bipartite genome and also on different parts of the RNA-2 segment of the virus genome.

Soilborne viruses: advances in virus movement,virus induced gene silencing,and engineered resistance

Until recently soilborne plant viruses were considered important only because they are causative agents for agricultural diseases. In recent years, soilborne plant viruses have played a significant role in advancing research into mechanisms of plasmodesmata transport, gene silencing, and engineered resistance to plant pathogens. Three different mechanisms by which viruses move through plasmodesmata have been identified using dianthoviruses, nepoviruses, and benyviruses. The infectious clone of the tobravirus Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) has become an important tool for studying virus induced gene silencing and may be a tool to silence meristematic gene expression. Investigations of soilborne viruses may enable the development of new strategies for control of soilborne diseases. The potential use of pathogen-derived resistance to control soilborne viruses is currently being explored in several laboratories.     

Design of Division Specific Primers of Ralstonia solanacearum and Application to the Identification of European Isolates

A PCR diagnostic test for detection of Ralstonia solanacearum at the infraspecific level was developed, based on polymorphisms within the 16S rRNA gene sequence. Partial sequences of this gene were determined for three French isolates which showed the characteristics of R. solanacearum subdivision 2a described by Taghavi et al. (1996). Oligonucleotide primers were designed to incorporate the nucleotide triplet (at positions 458–460 of the 16S rRNA gene) which differs between divisions 1 and 2 16S rRNA sequences of R. solanacearum isolates. A simple PCR test unambiguously revealed the division of each isolate. The PCR test was useful for identification of isolates of R. solanacearum from Europe.     

Detection of tobacco rattle virus in nematodes by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction

An assay, based on amplification of cDNA synthesized from genomic viral RNA, has been developed to detect tobacco rattle virus in infected plant material and viruliferous nematodes. A range of different TRV strains could be detected using the procedure developed. The presence of one to three viruliferous nematodes in a nematode suspension was sufficient for the detection of TRV. The minimum amount of purified virus detectable in the assay was 15 fg, indicating an increased sensitivity of the PCR-based assay as compared to serological detection methods, like ELISA. A dot-blot hybridization procedure was developed for the detection of the PCR products, making agarose gel electrophoresis dispensable.

Lily symptomless virus in tulip

Lily symptomless virus (LSV) was transmitted mechanically to only two out of 53 plant species (18 families) tested, i.e.Lilium formosanum and tulip ‘Rose Copland’ (Liliaceae). The aphid speciesMacrosiphum euphorbiae, Myzus persicae, andAphis gossypii transmitted LSV in a non-persistent manner fromLilium Mid-century hybrid ‘Enchantment’ to tulip ‘Rose Copland’.M. euphorbiae transmitted the virus more efficiently thanM. persicae andA. gossypii. The yield of LSV-infected tulips ‘Peerless Pink’ was slightly reduced compared with that of healthy tulips. LSV was observed incidentally in naturally infected commercial stocks. Two procedures to purify LSV from tulips were applied, one using crude sap and the other sap treated with chloroform. The length distribution of LSV particles in tulip showed a higher percentage of particles shorter than 600 nm as in lily.
