Abstract
‘Lamon bean’ is a protected geographical indication (PGI) for a product of four varieties of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in a specific area of production, which is located in the Belluno district, Veneto region (N.E. of Italy). In the last decade, the ‘Lamon bean’ has been threatened by severe virus epidemics that have compromised its profitability. In this work, the full virome of seven bean samples showing different foliar symptoms was obtained by MinION sequencing. Evidence that emerged from sequencing was validated through RT-PCR and ELISA in a large number of plants, including different ecotypes of Lamon bean and wild herbaceous hosts that may represent a virus reservoir in the field. Results revealed the presence of bean common mosaic virus (BCMV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), peanut stunt virus (PSV), and bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), which often occurred as mixed infections. Moreover, both CMV and PSV were reported in association with strain-specific satellite RNAs (satRNAs). In conclusion, this work sheds light on the cause of the severe diseases affecting the ‘Lamon bean’ by exploitation of MinION sequencing.

Abstract
Satellite RNAs and satellite viruses are extraviral components that can affect either the pathogenicity, the accumulation, or both of their associated viruses while themselves being dependent on the associated viruses as helper viruses for their infection. Most of these satellite RNAs are noncoding RNAs, and in many cases, have been shown to alter the interaction of their helper viruses with their hosts. In only a few cases have the functions of these satellite RNAs in such interactions been studied in detail. In particular, work on the satellite RNAs of Cucumber mosaic virus and Turnip crinkle virus have provided novel insights into RNAs functioning as noncoding RNAs. These effects are described and potential roles for satellite RNAs in the processes involved in symptom intensification or attenuation are discussed. In most cases, models describing these roles involve some aspect of RNA silencing or its suppression, either directly or indirectly involving the particular satellite RNA.

Abstract
Plant genetic engineering has broadened the options for plant virus resistance and is mostly based on pathogen-derived resistance. Previously, we have shown that interfering satellite RNA (satRNA) of Bamboo mosaic virus (satBaMV) greatly reduces Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV) accumulation and BaMV-induced symptoms in co-inoculated plants. Here, we generated a nonviral source of virus-resistant transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana and Arabidopsis thaliana by introducing interfering satBaMV. Asymptomatic transgenic N. benthamiana lines were highly resistant to BaMV virion and viral RNA infection, and the expression of the transgene BSL6 was higher in asymptomatic than mildly symptomatic lines. In addition, BaMV- and satBaMV-specific small RNAs were detectable only after BaMV challenge, and their levels were associated with genomic viral RNA or satRNA levels. By transcriptomic analysis, the salicylic acid (SA) signalling pathway was not induced in satBaMV transgenic A. thaliana in mock conditions, suggesting that two major antiviral mechanisms, RNA silencing and SA-mediated resistance, are not involved directly in transgenic satBaMV-mediated BaMV interference. In contrast, resistance is associated with the level of the interfering satBaMV transgene. We propose satBaMV-mediated BaMV interference in transgenic plants by competition for replicase with BaMV.

Abstract
Cross-protection is a phenomenon in which infection of a plant with a mild virus or viroid strain protects it from disease resulting from a subsequent encounter with a severe strain of the same virus or viroid. In this chapter, we review the history of cross-protection with regard to the development of ideas concerning its likely mechanisms, including RNA silencing and exclusion, and its influence on the early development of genetically engineered virus resistance. We also examine examples of the practical use of cross-protection in averting crop losses due to viruses, as well as the use of satellite RNAs to ameliorate the impact of virus-induced diseases. We also discuss the potential of cross-protection to contribute in future to the maintenance of crop health in the face of emerging virus diseases and related threats to agricultural production.

Abstract
Satellite RNAs associated with Bamboo mosaic virus (satBaMV) exhibit different phenotypes. Some isolates could reduce the accumulation of BaMV RNA and attenuate the BaMV-induced symptoms in co-inoculated plants. The determinants of the downregulation of BaMV replication were mapped in the 5' hypervariable region of satBaMV, which folds into a conserved apical hairpin stem loop (AHSL) structure comprising an apical loop and two internal loops, as evidenced by enzymatic probing. We also demonstrated that the integrity of the AHSL structure of interfering satBaMV was essential for the interference of BaMV accumulation. Concurrent analyses of natural satBaMV isolates revealed that all of the interfering isolates contained the same structures and sequences in the internal loops. Further, refined analyses indicated that, besides the AHSL structure, specific nucleotides in the internal loops play a crucial role in the downregulation, which implies that they may be required for the interaction of viral/cellular factors in this process.

Abstract
Satellite RNA of Bamboo mosaic virus (satBaMV), a single-stranded mRNA type satellite encoding a protein of 20 kDa (P20), depends on the helper BaMV for replication and encapsidation. Two satBaMV isolates, BSF4 and BSL6, exhibit distinctly differential phenotypes in Nicotiana benthamiana plants when coinoculated with BaMV RNA. BSL6 significantly reduces BaMV RNA replication and suppresses the BaMV-induced symptoms, whereas BSF4 does not. By studies with chimeric satBaMVs generated by exchanging the components between BSF4 and BSL6, the genetic determinants responsible for the downregulation of BaMV replication and symptom expression were mapped at the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of BSL6. The 5' UTR of BSL6 alone is sufficient to diminish BaMV RNA replication when the 5' UTR is inserted in cis into the BaMV expression vector or when coinoculation with mutants that block the synthesis of P20 protein takes place. Further, the 5' UTR of natural satBaMV isolates contains one hypervariable (HV) region which folds into a conserved apical hairpin stem-loop (AHSL) structure (W. B. Yeh, Y. H. Hsu, H. C. Chen, and N. S. Lin, Virology 330:105-115, 2004). Interchanges of AHSL segment of HV regions between BSF4 and BSL6 led to the ability of chimeric satBaMV to interfere with BaMV replication and symptom expression. The conserved secondary structure within the HV region is a potent determinant of the downregulation of helper virus replication.

Abstract
Research on the molecular biology of cucumoviruses and their plant-virus interactions has been very extensive in the last decade. Cucumovirus genome structures have been analyzed, giving new insights into their genetic variability, evolution, and taxonomy. A new viral gene has been discovered, and its role in promoting virus infection has been delineated. The localization and various functions of each viral-encoded gene product have been established. The particle structures of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Tomato aspermy virus have been determined. Pathogenicity domains have been mapped, and barriers to virus infection have been localized. The movement pathways of the viruses in some hosts have been discerned, and viral mutants affecting the movement processes have been identified. Host responses to viral infection have been characterized, both temporally and spatially. Progress has been made in determining the mechanisms of replication, gene expression, and transmission of CMV. The pathogenicity determinants of various satellite RNAs have been characterized, and the importance of secondary structure in satellite RNA-mediated interactions has been recognized. Novel plant genes specifying resistance to infection by CMV have been identified. In some cases, these genes have been mapped, and one resistance gene to CMV has been isolated and characterized. Pathogen-derived resistance has been demonstrated against CMV using various segments of the CMV genome, and the mechanisms of some of these forms of resistances have been analyzed. Finally, the nature of synergistic interactions between CMV and other viruses has been characterized. This review highlights these various achievements in the context of the previous work on the biology of cucumoviruses and their interactions with plants.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) satellite RNA-induced viral symptom modulation is usually accompanied by a significant reduction of virus accumulation in plant tissue, which has led to the hypothesis that satellite RNA competes with the viral RNAs for replication by the viral replicase and thereby reduces viral RNA synthesis and viral symptoms. In this report, the RNA synthesis of the viral and satellite RNAs of CMV was studied in vitro using an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) purified from CMV-infected plants. Comparison of the kinetics of the CMV RdRp-catalysed RNA synthesis using as templates viral RNAs and satellite RNA, alone or in an appropriate mixture, showed that these RNAs competed with each other for RNA synthesis by the CMV RdRp. Determination of the rates of 32P incorporation into the viral and satellite double-stranded RNA products revealed an apparent replication advantage of the satellite RNA over viral RNAs. The results provide strong support for a previously proposed biochemical mechanism that attributes CMV satellite-induced viral symptom modulation to the replication competition between the satellite and viral RNAs.

Abstract
Plant viruses often contain parasites of their own, referred to as satellites. Satellite RNAs are dependent on their associated (helper) virus for both replication and encapsidation. Satellite RNAs vary from 194 to approximately 1,500 nucleotides (nt). The larger satellites (900 to 1,500 nt) contain open reading frames and express proteins in vitro and in vivo, whereas the smaller satellites (194 to 700 nt) do not appear to produce functional proteins. The smaller satellites contain a high degree of secondary structure involving 49 to 73% of their sequences, with the circular satellites containing more base pairing than the linear satellites. Many of the smaller satellites produce multimeric forms during replication. There are various models to account for their formation and role in satellite replication. Some of these smaller satellites encode ribozymes and are able to undergo autocatalytic cleavage. The enzymology of satellite replication is poorly understood, as is the replication of their helper viruses. In many cases the coreplication of satellites suppresses the replication of the helper virus genome. This is usually paralleled by a reduction in the disease induced by the helper virus; however, there are notable exceptions in which the satellite exacerbates the pathogenicity of the helper virus, albeit on only a limited number of hosts. The ameliorative satellites are being assessed as biocontrol agents of virus-induced disease. In greenhouse studies, satellites have been known to "spontaneously" appear in virus cultures. The possible origin of satellites will be briefly considered.

Abstract
Total RNA extracted from cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) strains WT, with its associated satellite CARNA 5 (CMV-associated RNA 5), was successfully electroporated into isolated tomato protoplasts. At various time intervals samples were extracted for total nucleic acids and analyzed by semidenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Sequence-specific hybridization probes were used for the detection of viral and satellite RNAs following Northern transfer. The resulting PAGE patterns and/or autoradiographs depict the proportional presence of viral and satellite RNAs in the extracts over time and have been referred to as "replication footprint profiles" (RFPs) of specific CMV/CARNA 5 combinations. The effective isolation and infection of tomato protoplasts, combined with the ability to follow virus/satellite titers during the infection by RFP analysis, yield results similar to those of infected plants and reduces experiments of 21 or more days in whole plants to less than 72 h in protoplasts.

Abstract
An RNA-dependent RNA polymerase purified from tobacco infected with cucumber mosaic virus catalyzes the synthesis of (-) and (+) strands of the viral satellite RNA, CARNA 5, but fails to replicate the satellite RNA of peanut stunt virus (PSV). The enzyme replicates the genomic RNAs of the three principal cucumoviruses CMV, PSV and tomato aspermy virus (TAV) with varying efficiencies. The specificity with which CMV RdRp replicates different sequence-unrelated RNA templates suggests that the site of their recognition requires secondary or higher level structural organization.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), a widespread and economically important virus of vegetable crops, often contains a satellite RNA, here designated CARNA-5 (for CMV-associated RNA 5). Viral satellites are small nucleic acids that are sequence-unrelated to, but replicatively dependent upon, the viral genome. They essentially are molecular parasites of their helper viruses, and thereby frequently modulate viral symptom expression. Some isolates of CARNA-5 change normally moderate CMV symptoms in tomato into a lethal disease named tomato necrosis; others ameliorate CMV symptoms in tomato and other important crop plants. Here we report on the identification and molecular characterization of a 334-nucleotide necrogenic CARNA-5 isolated from tomato fields in southern Italy, where a massive outbreak of lethal necrosis occurred in the summer of 1988. This is the first time that direct evidence is given for the involvement of a viral satellite in a crop disease of epidemic scale. The possible molecular interrelationships between plant, virus, satellite and other factors that influence the satellite-induced symptom modulation underlying such a catastrophe are discussed.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and peanut stunt virus (PSV) each contain a fifth major RNA in the size range of 334 to 393 nucleotides. This fifth RNA is a satellite capable of modulating the expression of viral disease symptoms. It is present in infected tissue in single-stranded and double-stranded form. Nucleotide sequence variants of the double-stranded CMV-associated RNA 5 (dsCARNA 5) and PSV-associated RNA 5 (dsPARNA 5) were analysed by temperature-gradient gel electrophoresis. Gels were 5% polyacrylamide, containing 8 M urea in 8.9 mM Tris-borate buffer, with temperature differences of 25-40 degrees C establishing gradients either perpendicular or parallel to the direction of the electric field. For dsCARNA 5 two characteristic transitions were detected with increasing temperature: at temperatures between 40 degrees C and 46 degrees C a drastic retardation in electrophoretic mobility induced by partial dissociation of the duplex structure from the ends and at temperatures above 52 degrees C an abrupt increase in mobility due to complete strand dissociation. dsPARNA 5 exhibited both transitions at up to 10 degrees C higher temperatures and an additional retardation between the transitions mentioned. Seven different variants of dsCARNA 5, 4 necrogenic and 3 non-necrogenic, were analysed. Some showed only one single band, others gave rise to up to six well separated bands corresponding to six molecular species. From all experimental results a correlation between the temperature of the retardation transition and the necrogenicity of CARNA 5 was derived. The diagnostic application of the temperature-gradient gel analysis in agriculture, particularly for the use of non-necrogenic variants as biological control agents to impede CMV-infections, is discussed.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (Mab) against the double-stranded form of the cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5, the sequence variant that induces the tomato necrosis disease (ds(n)CARNA 5), has been obtained. Specificity studies using a radioimmunoassay showed that the purified Mab recognizes neither DNA nor ssRNA of different sources including ss(n)CARNA 5, poly(I).poly(C), nor dsRNA of two other sequence variants of CARNA 5. Therefore, the Mab seems to recognize a conformational variation only present in the double helical structure of ds(n)CARNA 5.

Abstract
Peanut stunt virus (PSV) RNA containing PSV-associated RNA 5 (PARNA 5) was used as the inoculum in the successful infection of cowpea protoplasts. Total nucleic acid extracts of protoplast samples at different times after inoculation were analyzed for the presence of PSV genomic RNAs and PARNA 5 using glyoxal denaturation, agarose gel electrophoresis, blotting to nitrocellulose, and hybridization to specific probes. It appears that (+)-stranded PSV genomic RNAs are synthesized up to 36 hr after inoculation after which their synthesis levels off, whereas PARNA 5 synthesis continues much later during infection. Oligomers of PARNA 5 were found in the infected protoplasts, in double-stranded RNA preparations from PSV-infected tissues, and in single-stranded PSV-RNA preparations isolated from purified virus. However, we were unable to demonstrate the presence of circular PARNA 5 molecules in infected protoplasts or tissues. These results leave open the question whether PARNA 5 is replicated via a rolling circle type replication mechanism, as proposed for viroids and tobacco ringspot virus satellite, or via a virus-like replication mechanism, as certain structural features of PARNA 5 would indicate. It is not impossible that both types of mechanisms are operative at different phases of PARNA 5 replication.

Abstract
The double-stranded forms of CARNA 5 and PARNA 5, viral satellites of the cucumovirus group, after denaturation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under appropriate conditions allow their complementary strands to be separated and fractionated. These fractionated (+) and (-) strands are free of contaminating viral RNA fragments. They serve as templates for the preparation of cDNAs of opposite polarity, which are used to probe the viral RNA-dependent replication of CARNA 5 and PARNA 5.
