Spread of potato virus Y in potato cultivars (Solanum tuberosum L.) with different levels of sensitivity

The aim of this work was to correlate the appearance of the symptoms, multiplication and spread of virus after mechanical inoculation of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars showing different levels of susceptibility and sensitivity to Potato virus Y^NTN (PVY^NTN). The potato cultivars used were the resistant cultivar Sante and susceptible cultivars Igor, Pentland squire and Désirée. The spread of the virus PVY^NTN in infected plants was monitored using different methods: DAS-ELISA, tissue printing, immuno-serological electron microscopy and real-time PCR. In all three susceptible cultivars, the virus was detected in the inoculated leaves 4–5 days after inoculation. From there virus spread rapidly, first into the stem, then more or less simultaneously to the upper leaves and roots. Real-time PCR was shown to be very sensitive and enabled viral RNA to be detected in non-inoculated leaves of susceptible cultivar Igor earlier than other methods. Therefore, for exact studies of plant–virus interaction, a combination of methods which detect viruses on the basis of their different properties (coat protein, morphology or RNA) should be used to monitor the spread of viruses.

牡蛎中GⅡ型诺如病毒巢式RT-PCR检测方法的优化与评价

为了解决目前巢式PCR法检测牡蛎样品中GII型诺如病毒时存在的非特异性扩增、假阴性等问题,本研究对NCBI数据库中在线获得的所有GII型诺如病毒序列进行系统分析,重新设计出针对GII型诺如病毒检测的通用型巢式PCR引物(NG2OF/NG2OR),并从基因型覆盖度、特异性、灵敏度和实际样品检测的稳定性几个方面对新设计的引物进行评估。结果显示：(1)新引物的特异性好,只对GII型诺如病毒进行有效扩增,且不受牡蛎样品本底的影响。(2)新引物灵敏度高,最低可检测至26.4个拷贝。(3)在对92个牡蛎样品进行检测时,新引物的阳性检出率为28.3%,比经典引物高出7.5%。因此,新建立的GII型诺如病毒巢式PCR检测方法在检测牡蛎样品时特异性更强,灵敏度更高,为牡蛎中诺如病毒的检测提供了一种新的、可靠的技术手段。

Use of real-time PCR to examine the relationship between disease severity in pea and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aphanomyces euteiches</Emphasis> DNA content in roots

Aphanomyces euteiches causes severe root rot of peas. Resistance is limited in commercial pea cultivars. Real-time fluorescent PCR assay specific for A. euteiches was used to study the relationship between disease severity and pathogen DNA content in infected peas. Five pea genotypes ranging in levels of resistance were inoculated with five isolates of A. euteiches. Plants were visually rated for disease development and the amount of pathogen DNA in roots was determined using the PCR assay. The susceptible genotypes Genie, DSP and Bolero tended to have significantly more disease and more pathogen DNA than the resistant genotypes 90-2079 and PI 180693. PI 180693 consistently had less disease, while 90-2079 had the lowest amount of pathogen DNA. The Spearman correlation between pathogen DNA quantity and disease development was positive and significant (P < 0.05) for three isolates, but was not significant for two other isolates. This suggests that the real-time PCR assay may have limited application as a selection tool for resistance in pea to A. euteiches. Its utility as a selection tool would be dependent on the correlation between disease development and pathogen DNA content for a given pathogen isolate. The accuracy and specificity of the real-time PCR assay suggests considerable application for the assay in the study of mechanisms of disease resistance and the study of microbial population dynamics in plants.
