Agrobacterium-mediated co-inoculation of okra plants with cloned okra enation leaf curl virus DNA and bhendi yellow vein mosaic beta-satellite DNA furthers Koch's postulates for enation leaf curl disease. J Virol Methods 2021; 300:114413.

Abstract
The enation leaf curl disease (ELCuD) is one of the several viral diseases affecting the cultivation of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) in the Indian subcontinent. Several begomoviruses and satellites are associated with ELCuD. However, to date, there are no reports of the re-introduction of any cloned ELCuD-associated viral DNA back into okra to cause ELCuD-like symptoms. Okra enation leaf curl virus (OELCuV) and various satellites, which includes bhendi yellow vein mosaic beta-satellite (BYVMB) have earlier been reported to be associated with ELCuD and with other okra diseases such as bhendi yellow vein mosaic disease. In this report, it is shown that agrobacterium-mediated inoculation of a cloned DNA of OELCuV and BYVMB to the shoot apex of virus-free okra plants led to symptoms resembling ELCuD. The OELCuV and the BYVMB DNAs could be PCR- amplified from the symptomatic leaves of the agro-inoculated plants. Full-length OELCuV DNA could also be amplified from the same symptomatic leaves, part of whose DNA sequence matched with that of the DNA which was inoculated. Hence, this work is an important step towards the fulfilment of Koch's postulates for ELCuD.

Abstract
Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci)-transmitted begomoviruses cause severe diseases in numerous economically important dicotyledonous plants. Okra enation leaf curl disease (OELCuD) has emerged as a serious threat to okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) cultivation in the Indian subcontinent. This study reports the association of a monopartite begomovirus (bhendi yellow vein mosaic virus; BYVMV) and betasatellite (bhendi yellow vein mosaic betasatellite; BYVB) with OELCuD in the Mau region of Uttar Pradesh, India. The BYVMV alone inoculated Nicotiana benthamiana and A. esculentus cv. Pusa Sawani plants developed mild symptoms. Co-inoculation of BYVMV and BYVB resulted in a reduced incubation period, an increased symptom severity, and an enhanced BYVMV accumulation by Southern hybridization and quantitative real-time PCR. This is the first study that satisfies Koch's postulates for OELCuD in its natural host. Activities of various antioxidative enzymes were significantly increased in the virus-inoculated okra plants. Differential responses in various biochemical components (such as photosynthetic pigments, phenol, proline, and sugar) in diseased okra plants were observed. This change in phytochemical responses is significant in understanding its impact on virus pathogenesis and disease development.

Abstract
Okra enation leaf curl is a newly emerging disease in commercial okra cultivation fields in Northern Sri Lanka. The present study aimed to identify and characterize the causative begomovirus and associated satellites. Okra plants showing the enation leaf curl disease symptoms were collected from Vavuniya and Jaffna districts of Northern Province. The PCR diagnostic and genome sequencing revealed that the symptomatic okra plants are associated with begomovirus, betasatellite, and alphasatellite complex. The begomovirus isolates shared 98.2-99.7% nucleotide identity with Okra enation leaf curl virus. The betasatellites showed 96-98.8% nucleotide identity with Bhendi yellow vein mosaic betasatellite which is usually associated with Bhendi yellow vein mosaic disease. Two distinct alphasatellite species, Okra leaf curl alphasatellite and Bhendi yellow vein mosaic alphasatellite, were identified in leaf samples with enation leaf curl disease. The disease was transmitted by whiteflies from diseased plants to healthy plants. Hybrid varieties were more susceptible to the disease compared to cultivated varieties.

Abstract
Bhendi yellow vein mosaic disease (BYVMD) and Okra enation leaf curl disease (OELCuD) are common diseases of okra/bhendi [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] affecting both pod yield and quality in the Indian subcontinent. BYVMD is caused by the infection of a begomovirus and associated betasatellite. In this study, we have made an attempt to investigate the diversity of begomoviral and the satellite sequences in okra samples showing BYVMD and OELCuD, by using a rapid PCR-based approach on 46 samples collected from 23 locations of Southern and Western India. We have also analyzed nine RCA-generated full-length begomoviral clones, some generated from the above samples displaying BYVMD and some OELCuD. By the PCR approach, we find the presence of begomovirus okra enation leaf curl virus (OELCuV) in most samples, irrespective of the disease being displayed (BYVMD or OELCuD). The nine apparently full-length sequences also show high identities with OELCuV and show instances of both intra-specific as well as intra-strainal recombination. We have also analyzed the begomoviral sequences associated with BYVMD and OELCuD from publicly available nucleotide sequence databases and show much higher sequence diversity amongst BYVMV, as compared to OELCuV. This is the first study which comprehensively demonstrates the presence of OELCuV in okra samples showing BYVMD and those showing OELCuD.

Abstract
Despite the importance of okra, as one of the important vegetable crop, very little attention has been paid to its genetic improvement using advanced biotechnological tools. The exploitation of marker assisted breeding in okra is often limited due to the availability of a few molecular markers, the absence of molecular genetic-map(s), and other molecular tools. Chromosome linkage-groups were not yet constructed for this crop and reports on marker development are very scanty and mostly hovering around cultivar characterization. Besides, very little progress has been observed for transgenic development. However, high throughput biotechnological tools like chromosome engineering, RNA interference (RNAi), marker-assisted recurrent selection (MARS), genome-wide selection (GWS), targeted gene replacement, next generation sequencing (NGS), and nanobiotechnology can provide a rapid way for okra improvement. Further, the etiology of many deadly viral diseases like the yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) and okra enation leaf curl virus (OELCV) in okra is broadly indistinct and has been shown to be caused by various begomovirus species. These diseases cause systemic infections and have a very effective mode of transmission; thus, preventing their spread has been very complicated. Biotechnological interventions have the potential to enhance okra production even under different viral-stress conditions. In this background, this review deals with the biotechnological advancements in okra per se along with the begomoviruses infecting okra, and special emphasis has been laid on the exploitation of advanced genomic tools for the development of resistant varieties.
