Evidence of a new Tomato yellow leaf curl virus in Japan and its detection using PCR

A new isolate of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) has been identified from tomato plants in Kochi Prefecture in Japan and designated TYLCV-[Tosa]. The complete nucleotide sequence of the isolate was determined and found to consist of 2781 nt. In phylogenetic analyses of entire nucleotide sequences, TYLCV-[Tosa] was delineated as a single branch and was more closely related to TYLCV-[Almeria] than TYLCV isolates Ng, Sz, or Ai reported in Japan, which had spread since 1996. Isolate TYLCV-[Tosa] is suggested to be a newly introduced, novel isolate of TYLCV that dispersed into Kochi Prefecture. In addition, a rapid method using the polymerase chain reaction to separate TYLCV isolates into four genetic groups was established. This method would be useful for reliable diagnosis based on genetic differences among isolates of TYLCV.The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under accession numbers AB192965 and AB192966     

番茄斑萎病毒NASBA检测方法的建立

为建立一种快速检测番茄斑萎病毒(Tomato spotted wilt virus,TSWV)的方法,以TSWV-CP1/TSWV-CP2为引物对TSWV的N基因进行PCR扩增及序列测定,在TSWV N基因的高度保守区设计特异性扩增引物NA-P1/NA-P2进行核酸序列依赖性扩增(NASBA)反应,并对NASBA方法的特异性和灵敏度进行验证。结果表明,建立的NASBA方法最佳反应时间为1.5 h。该方法特异性较好,只有TSWV阳性样品中出现了预期大小为235 bp的扩增产物,与烟草环斑病毒(Tobacco ring spot virus,TRSV)、番茄黑环病毒(Tomato black ring virus,TBRV)、黄瓜花叶病毒(Cucumber mosaic virus,CMV)、番茄花叶病毒(Tomato mosaic virus,ToMV)、番茄黄化曲叶病毒(Tomato yellow curl virus,ToYCLV)无交叉反应。灵敏度验证中,实时荧光RT-PCR的灵敏度最高,为1.56×10~(-5)ng/μL感病植物RNA模板,NASBA次之,为1.56×10~(-4)ng/μL,普通RT-PCR最低,为1.56×10~(-3)ng/μL。在对9份实际样品检测中,NASBA的阳性检出率与实时荧光RT-PCR、普通RT-PCR相同,均为33%,高于ELISA检测的22%。表明NASBA方法适用于实际样品检测,可对TSWV进行快速检测。     

Biomanagement of Fusarium wilt of tomato by the soil application of certain phosphatesolubilizing microorganisms

Abstract

We tested whether a new automated bait dispenser, the Scentinel®, could be programmed to deliver non-toxic bait selectively only to animals of specified dimensions (>400 g body weight and <110 mm body diameter, the size of a ferret or a mink). We tested whether wild ferrets would discriminate between two types of bait (egg/oil and homogenised brain tissue). We set 24 Scentinels in 12 randomised pairs for 11 weeks on a 2400-ha area of pastoral farmland in New Zealand. Of 1559 visits by small animals, 198 were by ferrets (c. 28 individuals). The Scentinels correctly delivered 895 baits to visitors weighing >400 g, and no baits to 543 visitors of <400 g. The mean body weight of live ferrets recorded by Scentinels was not significantly different from that of 34 carcasses collected from the same area by professional trappers. Of the 145 baits dispensed to ferrets, egg/oil bait was significantly more often eaten. We conclude that the Scentinel can reliably deliver bait to specified sizes of animals and deny it to others. It can also facilitate extensive bait preference tests on unrestrained wild pests.     

寄生Q型烟粉虱的丽蚜小蜂生长发育特性

为了阐明丽蚜小蜂Encarsia formosa对Q型烟粉虱的寄生特性及寄主植物携带病毒对其寄生的影响,采用微虫笼饲养法研究了寄生Q型烟粉虱的丽蚜小蜂生物学特性。结果显示,丽蚜小蜂寄生Q型烟粉虱3龄若虫时,其生长发育显著优于寄生Q型烟粉虱2龄若虫。丽蚜小蜂在感染黄化曲叶病毒（TYLCV）番茄和健康番茄上寄生Q型烟粉虱（分别为VW和NVW）3龄若虫时,其生长发育特性发生了明显变化。丽蚜小蜂以VW若虫为寄主时的寿命为10.25 d,显著长于寄生NVW的丽蚜小蜂寿命（5.90 d）;对VW和NVW后代3龄若虫的寄生率分别为23.81%和17.62%,致死率分别为38.95%和26.52%,差异均显著;而丽蚜小蜂的羽化率和发育历期不存在显著差异。说明丽蚜小蜂寄生Q型烟粉虱3龄若虫时更适宜其生长发育,寄主植物番茄携带TYLCV显著提高丽蚜小蜂对烟粉虱的寄生效果。     

利用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测樱桃叶斑驳病毒

樱桃叶斑驳病毒(Cherry mottle leaf virus,CMLV)是南美洲樱桃上重要的病害之一。本研究针对Genbank上公布的该病毒的核酸序列,人工合成了CMLV(AF170028.1)6741～7322 nt的核酸序列并连接载体,构建了阳性标准质粒,进行实时荧光定量PCR(Fluorescence quantitative,FQ-PCR)检测。实验结果表明,本研究设计的利用FQ-PCR检测CMLV的引物及探针特异性良好,经灵敏度检测,最低检测浓度为23 copies/μL,比普通PCR检测灵敏度高100倍。该FQ-PCR检测方法为樱桃叶斑驳病毒的防控提供了重要的技术支持。     

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。     

北京地区番茄黄化曲叶病病毒分离物测定及株系的初步鉴定

 番茄黄化曲叶病毒病是番茄生产中的一种毁灭性病毒病害,2009年传入北京。利用烟粉虱传双生病毒简并引物PA/PB对2010年~2011年采集自北京市5个区县的53个番茄样品进行检测,30个表现典型黄化曲叶病症状的样品均扩增得到约500 bp的特异条带,测定了其中7个样品的部分序列,经序列比对分析表明其为番茄黄化曲叶病毒（Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, TYLCV）。利用TYLCV特异引物TJ-F/TJ-R、TY-F/TY-R对样品BJDXXY、BJFS02、BJFS03、BJMY2231进行TYLCV基因组克隆和序列测定,经分析4个样品携带的TYLCV基因组长度均为2 781碱基,编码6个蛋白。基因组序列比较发现,这4个分离物与TYLCV-Israel株系同源性达到98%以上;通过建立系统发育树,发现BJDXXY、BJFS02、BJFS03与河北分离物（HBLF4）、山东分离物（SDSG）亲缘关系较近,BJMY2231与上海分离物（TYLCV-Israel）、江苏分离物（JSNJ1）亲缘关系较近。
