PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1344. [PMID: 38794415 PMCID: PMC11125113 DOI: 10.3390/plants13101344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
This study utilized a diverse Capsicum accessions (5658) sourced from various species and geographical regions, deposited at the National Agrobiodiversity Center, Genebank. We employed 19 SNP markers through a Fluidigm genotyping system and screened these accessions against eight prevalent diseases of pepper. This study revealed accessions resistant to individual diseases as well as those exhibiting resistance to multiple diseases, including bacterial spot, anthracnose, powdery mildew, phytophthora root rot, and potyvirus. The C. chacoense accessions were identified as resistant materials against bacterial spot, anthracnose, powdery mildew, and phytophthora root rot, underscoring the robust natural defense mechanisms inherent in the wild Capsicum species and its potential uses as sources of resistance for breeding. C. baccatum species also demonstrated to be a promising source of resistance to major pepper diseases. Generally, disease-resistant germplasm has been identified from various Capsicum species. Originating from diverse locations such as Argentina, Bolivia, and the United Kingdom, these accessions consistently demonstrated resistance, indicating the widespread prevalence of disease-resistant traits across varied environments. Additionally, we selected ten pepper accessions based on their resistance to multiple diseases, including CMV, Phytophthora root rot, potyviruses, and TSWV, sourced from diverse geographical regions like Hungary, Peru, the United States, and the Netherlands. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into disease resistance in Capsicum, crucial for fostering sustainable agricultural practices and advancing crop improvement through breeding strategies.

Abstract
Chilli leaf curl virus disease caused by begomoviruses, has emerged as a major threat to global chilli production, causing severe yield losses and economic harm. Begomoviruses are a highly successful and emerging group of plant viruses that are primarily transmitted by whiteflies belonging to the Bemisia tabaci complex. The most effective method for mitigating chilli leaf curl virus disease losses is breeding for host resistance to Begomovirus. This review highlights the current situation of chilli leaf curl virus disease and associated begomoviruses in chilli production, stressing the significant issues that breeders and growers confront. In addition, the various breeding methods used to generate begomovirus resistant chilli cultivars, and also the complicated connections between the host plant, vector and the virus are discussed. This review highlights the importance of resistance breeding, emphasising the importance of multidisciplinary approaches that combine the best of traditional breeding with cutting-edge genomic technologies. subsequently, the article highlights the challenges that must be overcome in order to effectively deploy begomovirus resistant chilli varieties across diverse agroecological zones and farming systems, as well as understanding the pathogen thus providing the opportunities for improving the sustainability and profitability of chilli production.

Abstract
Infectious cloning of plant viruses is a powerful tool for studying the reverse genetic manipulation of viral genes in virus–host plant interactions, contributing to a deeper understanding of the life history and pathogenesis of viruses. Yet, most of the infectious clones of RNA virus constructed in E. coli are unstable and toxic. Therefore, we modified the binary vector pCass4-Rz and constructed the ternary shuttle vector pCA4Y. The pCA4Y vector has a higher copy number in the E. coli than the conventional pCB301 vector, can obtain a high concentration of plasmid, and is economical and practical, so it is suitable for the construction of plant virus infectious clones in basic laboratories. The constructed vector can be directly extracted from yeast and transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens to avoid toxicity in E. coli. Taking advantage of the pCA4Y vector, we established a detailed large and multiple DNA HR-based cloning method in yeast using endogenous recombinase. We successfully constructed the Agrobacterium-based infectious cDNA clone of ReMV. This study provides a new choice for the construction of infectious viral clones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vegetable viruses are difficult to prevent and control in the field, causing massive economic losses of agricultural production in the world. A new natural product-based antiviral agent would be an effective means to control viral diseases. As a class of natural products, 1-indanones present various pharmacologically actives, while their application in agriculture remains to be found. RESULTS A series of novel 1-indanone derivatives were designed and synthesized and the antiviral activities were systematically evaluated. Bioassays showed that most compounds exhibited good protective activities against cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), and pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV). Notably, compound 27 exhibited the best protective effects against PMMoV with EC50 values of 140.5 mg L-1 , superior to ninanmycin (245.6 mg L-1 ). Compound 27 induced immunity responses through multilayered regulation on mitogen-activated protein kinase, plant hormone signal transduction and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathways. CONCLUSION These 1-indanone derivatives especially compound 27 can be considered as potential immune activators to resist plant virus. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), a Tobamovirus from Virgaviridae family, is highly contagious and transmitted by seeds as well as soil in nature. PMMoV has become a greater threat to capsicum cultivation worldwide. To develop an indigenous, rapid, and sensitive protocol for routine detection of PMMoV from seeds, the sensitivity of DAS-ELISA and RT-PCR was compared in the present study. The infected seeds of California Wonder were included in the study. Through DAS-ELISA the virus was successfully detected from 20 mg of seeds. However, using RT-PCR, we were able to detect the virus even from one infected seed with reproducibility. In the present study, vertical seed transmission of the test virus was investigated by employing a grow-out test under greenhouse conditions as well as directly through RT-PCR omitting the grow-out test in three capsicum cultivars. Based on symptoms observations in grow out test, seed transmission was observed in the 3 capsicum cultivars viz., California Wonder (63.04%), Yolo Wonder (33.80%) and Doux des LAndes (33.30%). Through RT-PCR it was estimated to be 55.56% (California Wonder), 28.96% (Yolo Wonder), and 40.64% (Doux des Landes), respectively. Thus, indicating 100% seed-to-seedling PMMoV transmission and reliability of RT-PCR in direct PMMoV detection from seeds. Even a small percentage of infected seed has the potential to greatly increase the PMMoV inoculum in the field and result in 100% plant infection. Therefore, we suggest using the established procedure for PMMoV detection right from the seed.

Abstract
To further develop new antiviral agents, several novel cyclized derivatives of ferulic acid were designed and synthesized. Their antiviral activities were evaluated against the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). The results showed that some ferulic acid derivatives exhibited desirable antiviral activities. Particularly, compound 5e exhibited excellent protective activities against CMV, PMMoV, and TSWV, with EC50 values of 167.2, 102.5, and 145.8 μg mL-1, respectively, which were superior to those obtained for trans-ferulic acid (581.7, 611.2, and 615.4 μg mL-1), dufulin (312.6, 302.5, and 298.2 μg mL-1), and ningnanmycin (264.3, 282.5, and 276.5 μg mL-1). Thereafter, the protective mechanisms of 5e were evaluated through photosynthesis evaluation, transcriptome profiling, and proteomic analysis. The results indicated that 5e significantly activated the expression levels of photosynthesis-related regulatory genes and proteins in tobacco plants and promoted the accumulation of defense molecules to resist viral infection. Thus, the findings of this study indicated that novel cyclized ferulic acid derivatives are potential antiviral agents that act via regulating photosynthesis in the host.

Abstract
Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) poses a significant threat to pepper production because it is highly contagious and extremely persistent in soil. Despite this threat, little is known about the molecular processes that underlie plant responses to pepper mild mottle virus. Here, we performed RNA sequencing of tolerant ("17-p63") and susceptible ("16-217") pepper genotypes after pepper mild mottle virus or mock inoculation. Viral accumulation in systemic leaves was lower in the pepper mild mottle virus-resistant 17-p63 genotype than in the pepper mild mottle virus-sensitive 16-217 genotype, and infection symptoms were more apparent in systemic leaves of 16-217 than in those of 17-p63 at the same timepoints during the infection process. We identified 2,959 and 2,159 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in systemic leaves of infected 16-217 and 17-p63, respectively. Through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes from both genotypes revealed significant enrichment of the MAPK signaling pathway, plant-pathogen interaction, and flavonoid biosynthesis. A number of differentially expressed genes showed opposite trends in relation to stress resistance and disease defense in the two genotypes. We also performed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of all samples and identified modules associated with resistance to pepper mild mottle virus, as well as seven hub genes. These results identify candidate virus resistance genes and provide insight into pepper defense mechanisms against pepper mild mottle virus.

Abstract
Chilli is infected by at least 65 viruses globally, with a mixed infection of multiple viruses leading to severe losses being a common occurrence. A simple diagnostic procedure that can identify multiple viruses at once is required to track their spread, initiate management measures and manage them using virus-free planting supplies. The present study, for the first time, reports a simplified and robust multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay for the simultaneous detection of five RNA viruses, capsicum chlorosis orthotospovirus (CaCV), chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), large cardamom chirke virus (LCCV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), and a DNA virus, chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCV) infecting chilli. The developed mPCR employed six pairs of primer from the conserved coat protein (CP) region of the respective viruses. Different parameters viz., primer concentration (150-450 nM) and annealing temperature (50 °C), were optimized in order to achieve specific and sensitive amplification of the target viruses in a single reaction tube. The detection limit of the mPCR assay was 5.00 pg/µL to simultaneously detect all the target viruses in a single reaction, indicating a sufficient sensitivity of the developed assay. The developed assay showed high specificity and showed no cross-amplification. The multiplex PCR assay was validated using field samples collected across Northeast India. Interestingly, out of 61 samples collected across the northeastern states, only 22 samples (36%) were positive for single virus infection while 33 samples (54%) were positive for three or more viruses tested in mPCR, showing the widespread occurrence of mixed infection under field conditions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the development and field validation of the mPCR assay for six chilli viruses and will have application in routine virus indexing and virus management.

Abstract
Paris spp. are important medicinal plant and main raw material for many Chinese patent medicines, but viral diseases have became serious problems in cultivation of this group of important medicinal plants in China. In this study, eight viruses were identified in the diseased plants of Paris yunnanensis by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and RT-PCR. These viruses include three novel viruses (two potyviruses and one nepovirus), Hippeastrum chlorotic ringspot virus (HCRV), Lychnis mottle virus (LycMoV), Paris mosaic necrosis virus (PMNV), Paris virus 1 and pepper mild mottle virus. The three new viruses were tentatively named Paris potyvirus 3 (ParPV-3), Paris potyvirus 4 (ParPV-4), Paris nepovirus 1 (ParNV-1) and their complete genome sequences were determined. Sequence analyses showed ParPV-3 and ParPV-4 shared the highest amino acid (aa) sequence identities of 54.3% to each other and 53.0-57.8% to other known potyviruses. ParNV-1 had aa sequence identities of 28.8-63.7% at protease-polymerase (Pro-Pol) with other nepoviruses. Phylogenetic analyses further support that the three viruses are new members of their corresponding genera. Analyses of the partial sequences of HCRV and LycMoV infecting P. yunnanensis revealed they diverged from existing isolates by aa sequence identities of 97.1% at glycoprotein precursor of HCRV and 93.3% at polyprotein of LycMoV. These two viruses are reported for the first time in Paris spp. A total of 123 field samples collected from P. yunnanensis in four counties of Yunnan, Southwest China were tested by RT-PCR for detecting each of the eight viruses. Results showed that nearly half of the samples were positive for at least one of the eight viruses. Two potyviruses, ParPV-3 (26.8%) and PMNV (24.4%), were predominant and widely distributed in the fields, while other viruses occurred in low rates and/or had limited distribution. This study insights into the virome infecting P. yunnanensis and provides valuable information for diagnosis and control of viral diseases in P. yunnanensis.

Bioinformatic-based approach for mutagenesis of plant immune Tm-2 2 receptor to confer resistance against tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV). FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:984846. [PMID: 36247646 PMCID: PMC9562835 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.984846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) plant immune receptors mediate the recognition and activation of defense signaling pathways in response to intra- and extracellular pathogens. Several NLR such as Tm-2 and Tm-22 have been introgressed into commercial solanaceous varieties to confer protection against different tobamoviruses. Particularly, Tm-22 was used during recent decades to confer resistance against tobacco mosaic virus, tomato mottle mosaic virus and tomato mosaic virus, which recognizes the viral movement protein (MP). However, tomato brown rugose fruit virus(ToBRFV), a novel tobamovirus, can avoid the protection conferred by Tm-22 due to the presence of key substitutions in the MP. The aim of this work was to identify the key amino acid residues involved in the interaction between Tm-22 and ToBRFV MP through bioinformatic analyses, and to identify potential Tm-22 mutations that could generate greater binding affinity. In silico 3D structure prediction, molecular docking, and computational affinity methods were performed. We predicted that R350, H384 and K385 Tm-22 residues are relevant for the interaction with MP, and two mutations (H384W and K385L) were identified as putative sites to increase the affinity of Tm-22 to the MP with the potential elicitation of resistance against ToBRFV.

An Overview of Chili Leaf Curl Disease: Molecular Mechanisms, Impact, Challenges, and Disease Management Strategies in Indian Subcontinent. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:899512. [PMID: 35847087 PMCID: PMC9277185 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.899512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Leaf curl disease in a chili plant is caused mainly by Chili leaf curl virus (ChiLCV) (Family: Geminiviridae, Genus: Begomovirus). ChiLCV shows a widespread occurrence in most of the chili (Capsicum spp.) growing regions. ChiLCV has a limited host range and infects tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), potatoes (S. tuberosum), and amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor). The virus genome is a monopartite circular single-stranded DNA molecule of 2.7 kb and associated with α and β-satellites of 1.3 and 1.4 kb, respectively. The virus genome is encapsulated in distinct twinned icosahedral particles of around 18-30 nm in size and transmitted by Bemisia tabaci (Family: Aleyrodidae, Order: Hemiptera). Recently, bipartite begomovirus has been found to be associated with leaf curl disease. The leaf curl disease has a widespread distribution in the major equatorial regions viz., Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. Besides the PCR, qPCR, and LAMP-based detection systems, recently, localized surface-plasmon-resonance (LPSR) based optical platform is used for ChiLCV detection in a 20-40 μl of sample volume using aluminum nanoparticles. Management of ChiLCV is more challenging due to the vector-borne nature of the virus, therefore integrated disease management strategies need to be followed to contain the spread and heavy crop loss. CRISPR/Cas-mediated virus resistance has gained importance in disease management of DNA and RNA viruses due to certain advantages over the conventional approaches. Therefore, CRISPR/Cas system-mediated resistance needs to be explored in chili against ChiLCV.

Abstract
Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) has caused serious economic losses to crop production in many countries. The coat protein (CP) of PMMoV is a multifunctional protein proved to be a determining factor in the assignment of virulence type. Therefore, we studied the interaction between drugs and PMMoV CP as a method to screen anti-PMMoV agents. In this study, vanisulfane (6f) exhibited good inactivation activity (68.5%) by biological activity screening. Meanwhile, the green fluorescent protein and PMMoV CP expression changes of vanisulfane against PMMoV were verified by western blot and qRT-PCR experiments. The affinity between vanisulfane and PMMoV CP was predicted to be the best by autodocking and molecular dynamics simulation. PMMoV CP was purified for the first time from the soluble fraction, and the strong affinity between vanisulfane and CP was further verified by interaction experiments. Therefore, this study found that vanisulfane is a potential anti-PMMoV drug targeting PMMoV CP.

Abstract
A series of cytosine derivatives containing a sulfonamide moiety were designed and synthesized, and their antiviral activities against pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) were systematically evaluated. Then, a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model was constructed to study the structure-activity relationship according to the pEC50 of the compounds' protective activities. Next, compound A32 with preferable antiviral activity on PMMoV was obtained based on the CoMSIA and CoMFA models, with an EC50 of 19.5 μg/mL, which was superior to the template molecule A25 (21.3 μg/mL) and ningnanmycin (214.0 μg/mL). In addition, further studies showed that the antiviral activity of compound A32 against PMMoV was in accord with the up-regulation of proteins expressed in the defense response and carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms. These results indicated that cytosine derivatives containing a sulfonamide moiety could be used as novel potential antiviral agents for further research and development.

Abstract
Tomato zonate spotvirus (TZSV) often incurs significant losses in many food and ornamental crops in Yunnan province, China, and the surrounding areas. The pepper (Capsicum chinensePI152225)can develop hypersensitive resistance following infection with TZSV, through an as yet unknown mechanism. The transcriptome dataset showed a total of 45.81 GB of clean data were obtained from six libraries, and the average percentage of the reads mapped to the pepper genome was over 90.00 %. A total of 1403 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained after TZSV infection, including 825significantly up-regulated genes and 578 down-regulated genes. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses indicated that most up-regulated DEGs were involved in basal defenses. RT-qPCR, and virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) were used preliminarily to identifyBBC_22506 and BBC_18917, among total of 71 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), that play a key role in mediating the auxin-induced signaling pathway that might take part in hypersensitive response (HR) conferred resistance to viral infection in pepper (PI152225) byTZSV. This is the first study on the mechanism of auxin resistance, involved in defense responses of pepper against viral diseases, which lay the foundation for further study on the pathogenic mechanism of TZSV, as well as the mechanism of resistance to TZSV, in peppers.

Abstract
Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is an evolutionarily conserved plant defense mechanism against viruses. This paper aimed to evaluate a dsDNA construct (77 bp) as a template for in vitro production of virus-derived artificial small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) and test for their potential to trigger the RNAi mechanism in Nicotiana benthamiana plants against CMV after their foliar infiltration. This approach allowed for the production of significant amounts of shRNAs (60-mers) quickly and easily. The gene silencing was confirmed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunological-based assays, and real-time PCR (qPCR). The highest levels of gene silencing were recorded for mRNAs coding for replication protein (ORF1a), the viral suppressor of RNA silencing (ORF2b), and the capsid protein (ORF3b), with 98, 94, and 70% of total transcript silencing, respectively. This protocol provides an alternative to producing significant shRNAs that can effectively trigger the RNAi mechanism against CMV.

Abstract
Tobacco mild green mosaic virus (TMGMV), a member species of the genus Tobamovirus, infects pepper (Capsicum annuum) and a number of other economically important species in the Solanaceae family. TMGMV infections had seriously impacted pepper production worldwide, including China. A reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed to detect TMGMV in pepper field samples and seed. This assay was based on four primers that matched to six sequences in the C-terminal region of the TMGMV genome. RT-LAMP assay could detect the presence of the virus in 3.0 × 10-7 µg of total RNA extract from pepper leaves, which was ten times more sensitive than the corresponding reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. This method specifically detected TMGMV but not the closely related species of the same genus Pepper mild mottle virus, Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus and Tomato mosaic virus. In addition, the use of SYBR Green I facilitated the detection of the TMGMV RT-LAMP products by the naked eye. These results indicated that the RT-LAMP assay was a simple, sensitive, specific and affordable diagnostic tool that has the potential to detect and monitor TMGMV infection in field samples.

Abstract
Tobamoviruses are often referred to as the most notorious viral pathogens of pepper crops. These viruses are not transmitted by invertebrate vectors, but rather by physical contact and seeds. In this study, pepper plants displaying mild mottle and mosaic symptoms were sampled in four different regions of Peru. Upon double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) tests, seven samples cross-reacted weakly with antibodies against pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), suggesting the presence of tobamoviruses. When employing RT-PCR, conserved primers amplified cDNA fragments of viruses from two putative new tobamovirus species in the samples. The complete genome of two representative isolates were, therefore, sequenced and analysed in silico. These viruses, which were tentatively named yellow pepper mild mottle virus (YPMMoV) and chilli pepper mild mottle virus (CPMMoV), shared highest nucleotide genome sequence identities of 83 and 85 % with bell pepper mottle virus (BpeMV), respectively. Mechanical inoculation of indicator plants with YPMMoV and CPMMoV isolates did not show any obvious differences in host ranges. These viruses were also inoculated mechanically on pepper plants harbouring different resistance L alleles to determine their pathotypes. Pepper plants carrying unfunctional L alleles (L 0) to tobamoviruses were infected by all isolates and presented differential symptomatology for YPMMoV and CPMMoV. On the other hand, pepper plants carrying L 1, L 2, L 3 and L 4 alleles were resistant to all isolates, indicating that these viruses belong to pathotype P0.

Abstract
During pepper and tomato production seasons in 2013–2017, large-scale virus disease surveys were conducted in different regions of Yunnan Province, China. A total of 1,267 pepper and tomato samples with various virus-like symptoms were collected and analyzed for virus infections through dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and reverse-transcription (RT)-PCR. The detection results showed that 19 different viruses were present in about 50.9% of the assayed samples, and among these viruses, seven viruses were found in both pepper and tomato samples. Mixed infections with two to three of the 15 identified mixed infection types were found in the pepper samples and 10 identified mixed infection types were found in the tomato samples. Among the infected samples, Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) was the most common virus, with a detection rate of about 20.0% followed by Pepper vein yellows virus (PeVYV, 13.0%). This survey revealed for the first time that pepper is a natural host of Tobacco vein distorting virus (TVDV) worldwide and tomato is a natural host of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) in China. PeVYV, Tobacco mild green mosaic virus (TMGMV) and Wild tomato mosaic virus (WTMV) were first time found in pepper and Tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) and Chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV) were first time found in tomato in Yunnan Province. Finally, the virus incidences were higher in Kunming, Yuxi, Chuxiong, and Honghe region than other regions.

Abstract
Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2) is an emerging virus in various economically important crops, especially pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), worldwide. Recently, the emergence of various BBWV2 strains that induce severe symptoms has increased damage to pepper crops. While the symptomatic variations among virus strains should be associated with differences in the transcriptomic reprogramming of host plants upon infection, underlying molecular mechanisms and associated genes are largely unknown. In the present study, we employed transcriptome analysis to identify responsible host factors for symptom enhancement in the BBWV2-pepper pathosystem using two distinct BBWV2 strains, PAP1 (a severe strain) and RP1 (a mild strain). Comparative analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed that various genes associated with pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) and ethylene signaling were significantly upregulated upon infection with the severe PAP1 strain, but not with the mild RP1 strain. Indeed, hormone analysis revealed that ethylene emission was significantly increased in pepper plants infected with PAP1. These observations imply that the activation of the PTI-associated defense responses reinforce symptom formation during BBWV2 infection in a virus strain-specific manner.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a prevalent virus affecting the quality and yield of pepper, resulting in yield losses of greater than 80% during severe local epidemics. Cultural practices and the heavy use of agrochemicals are the most common control measures for CMV. Sources of resistance provide a practical reference and a basis for breeding for CMV resistance. Genetic factors underlying CMV resistance have been studied and advanced breeding lines and cultivars with improved resistance have been developed by traditional breeding methods. Additionally, QTLs or genes for CMV resistance have been identified and can be utilized for marker-assisted resistance breeding. This review focuses on status and prospect of CMV against different virus strains, host resistance, and its applied genetics. With the advent of novel technologies, more useful markers and precise approaches can facilitate the progress for improving CMV resistance in Capsicum.

Abstract
Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), a tobamovirus of family Virgaviridae affects the quality and quantity of Capsicum. PMMoV is highly contagious, capable of transmitting through infected seeds and soil. Symptoms are more severe when crop is infected at young stage but remain unnoticed when infection takes place at maturity. Therefore, cost effective diagnostic techniques are required for timely and accurate detection of virus. In present study, coat protein encoding region of PMMoV-HP1 isolate was cloned into expression vector system, pET28a and expressed in BL21, a protease deficient strain of Escherichia coli. The PMMoV-HP1 pathotype was identified as PMMoV-P12 on the basis of coat protein amino acid sequence analysis in our previous study. The overexpression of recombinant coat protein of 26 kDa, corresponding to the expected 6X Histidine tag fused recombinant protein was purified using Ni-NTA columns from insoluble fraction. For antisera production, the purified recombinant protein was dialyzed ~ 24 h to remove urea and then used for raising polyclonal antisera. The specificity and sensitivity of antiserum obtained was demonstrated using different dilutions of antiserum for western blot assay and direct antigen coating enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAC-ELISA). In Western blot assay, the test antiserum reacted strongly both with PMMoV-CP in purified protein and native CP in crude sap from PMMoV infected pepper plants, whereas no reaction was observed with healthy plant sap. In DAC-ELISA antiserum dilution up to 1:1000 was capable of detecting the virus in infected sample. The absence of any cross reactivity of test antiserum was confirmed against tobacco mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus, tomato spotted wilt virus, pepper veinal mottle virus, potato virus Y and tomato yellow leaf curl virus antigen, known to infect capsicum.

Abstract
Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is one of the major vegetable crops grown worldwide largely appreciated for its economic importance and nutritional value. This crop belongs to the large Solanaceae family, which, among more than 90 genera and 2500 species of flowering plants, includes commercially important vegetables such as tomato and eggplant. The genus includes over 30 species, five of which (C. annuum, C. frutescens, C. chinense, C. baccatum, and C. pubescens) are domesticated and mainly grown for consumption as food and for non-food purposes (e.g., cosmetics). The main challenges for vegetable crop improvement are linked to the sustainable development of agriculture, food security, the growing consumers' demand for food. Furthermore, demographic trends and changes to climate require more efficient use of plant genetic resources in breeding programs. Increases in pepper consumption have been observed in the past 20 years, and for maintaining this trend, the development of new resistant and high yielding varieties is demanded. The range of pathogens afflicting peppers is very broad and includes fungi, viruses, bacteria, and insects. In this context, the large number of accessions of domesticated and wild species stored in the world seed banks represents a valuable resource for breeding in order to transfer traits related to resistance mechanisms to various biotic stresses. In the present review, we report comprehensive information on sources of resistance to a broad range of pathogens in pepper, revisiting the classical genetic studies and showing the contribution of genomics for the understanding of the molecular basis of resistance.

Abstract
The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is one of the most threatening pests in pepper cultivation and growers would benefit from resistant varieties. Previously, we identified two Capsicum accessions as susceptible and three as resistant to M. persicae using an aphid population originating from the Netherlands (NL). Later on we identified an aphid population originating from a different geographical region (Switserland, SW) that was virulent on all tested Capsicum accessions. The objective of the current work is to describe in detail different aspects of the interaction between two aphid populations and two selected Capsicum accessions (one that was susceptible [PB2013046] and one that was resistant [PB2013071] to population NL), including biochemical processes involved. Electrical penetration graph (EPG) recordings showed similar feeding activities for both aphid populations on PB2013046. On accession PB2013071 the aphid population SW was able to devote significantly more time to phloem ingestion than population NL. We also studied plant defense response and found that plants of accession PB2013046 could not induce an accumulation of reactive oxygen species and callose formation after infestation with either aphid population. However, plants of PB2013071 induced a stronger defense response after infestation by population NL than after infestation by population SW. Based on these results, population SW of M. persicae seems to have overcome the resistance of PB2013071 that prevented feeding of aphids from NL population. The potential mechanism by which SW population overcomes the resistance is discussed.

Abstract
A resistant source (S-343) having monogenic dominant resistance to chilli leaf curl virus disease (ChiLCVD) has been identified at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana. The F2 mapping population of 204 plants was derived from the cross MS-341 (susceptible) × S-343 (resistant) to identify the linked marker with the disease-resistant gene. Out of the 685 single-sequence repeats (SSRs) used, only 160 primers showed parental polymorphism. These 160 polymorphic primers were used for bulk segregant analysis and only eight SSR primers were able to differentiate the resistant and susceptible bulks. The linkage analysis revealed that the two markers CA 516044 and PAU-LC-343-1 were found linked with the disease-resistant gene covering a total distance of 15.7 centimorgan (cM). The two primers CA 516044 and PAU-LC-343-1 were found located on chromosome 6 of the pepper genome at a genetic distance of 6.8 cM and 8.9 cM, respectively, from the resistant gene. The validation of linked markers was performed using 26 resistant and susceptible genotypes developed at PAU, Ludhiana by former researchers. The validation of the primers revealed that there was a correlation between phenotypic and genotypic data of the used genotypes, and these markers can be used for the marker-assisted breeding procedures for transferring ChiLCVD resistance until the gene-based markers will be developed. The markers described in this study are the first-ever molecular markers identified as linked to the ChiLCVD-resistant gene.

Abstract
A QTL for aphid resistance on pepper chromosome 2 was identified and validated. This QTL affects aphid survival and reproduction, and was fine mapped to a locus containing LRR-RLK analogues. Myzus persicae is one of the most threatening insect pests that adversely affects pepper (Capsicum) cultivation. Resistance to aphids was previously identified in Capsicum baccatum. This study aimed at elucidating the genetics of aphid resistance in C. baccatum. A QTL analysis was carried out for M. persicae resistance in an F2 population derived from an intraspecific cross between a highly resistant plant and a susceptible plant. Survival and reproduction were used as resistance parameters. Interval mapping detected two QTLs affecting aphid survival (Rmpas-1) and reproduction (Rmprp-1), respectively, both localized in the same area and sharing the same top marker on chromosome 2. Use of this marker as co-factor in multiple-QTL mapping analysis revealed a second, minor QTL (Rmprp-2) only affecting aphid reproduction, on chromosome 4. Fine mapping confirmed the effects of Rmpas-1 and Rmprp-1 and narrowed the major QTL Rmprp-1 down to a genomic region of 96 kb which is predicted to encode four analogues of resistance genes of the receptor-like kinase family containing a leucine-rich repeat domain (LRR-RLKs). This work provides not only initial information for breeding aphid-resistant pepper varieties, but also forms the basis for future molecular analysis of gene(s) involved in aphid resistance.

Abstract
Myzus persicae has severe economic impact on pepper (Capsicum) cultivation. Previously, we identified two populations of M. persicae, NL and SW, that were avirulent and virulent, respectively on C. baccatum accession PB2013071. The transcriptomics approach used in the current study, which is the first study to explore the pepper-aphid interaction at the whole genome gene expression level, revealed genes whose expression is differentially regulated in pepper accession PB2013071 upon infestation with these M. persicae populations. The NL population induced ROS production genes, while the SW population induced ROS scavenging genes and repressed ROS production genes. We also found that the SW population can induce the removal of ROS which accumulated in response to preinfestion with the NL population, and that preinfestation with the SW population significantly improved the performance of the NL population. This paper supports the hypothesis that M. persicae can overcome the resistance in accession PB2013071 probably because of its ability to manipulate plant defense response especially the ROS metabolism and such ability may benefit avirulent conspecific aphids.

High-Throughput Sequencing Reveals Bell Pepper Endornavirus Infection in Pepper ( Capsicum annum) in Slovakia and Enables Its Further Molecular Characterization. PLANTS 2019; 9:plants9010041.

Abstract
Ribosomal RNA-depleted total RNAs from a sweet pepper plant (Capsicum annuum, labelled as N65) grown in western Slovakia and showing severe virus-like symptoms (chlorosis, mottling and deformation of leaf lamina) were subjected to high-throughput sequencing (HTS) on an Illumina MiSeq platform. The de novo assembly of ca. 5.5 million reads, followed by mapping to the reference sequences, revealed the coinfection of pepper by several viruses; i.e., cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), watermelon mosaic virus (WMV), pepper cryptic virus 2 (PCV2) and bell pepper endornavirus (BPEV). A complete polyprotein-coding genomic sequence (14.6 kb) of BPEV isolate N65 was determined. A comparison of BPEV-N65 sequences with BPEV genomes available in GenBank showed 86.1% to 98.6% identity at the nucleotide level. The close phylogenetic relationship with isolates from India and China resulted in their distinct grouping compared to the other BPEV isolates. Further analysis has revealed the presence of BPEV in sweet or chili peppers obtained from various sources and locations in Slovakia (plants grown in gardens, greenhouse or retail shop). Additionally, the partial sequencing of two genomic portions from 15 BPEV isolates revealed that the Slovak isolates segregated into two molecular clusters, indicating a genetically distinct population (mean inter-group nucleotide divergence reaching 12.7% and 14.5%, respectively, based on the genomic region targeted). Due to the mix infections of BPEV-positive peppers by potato virus Y (PVY) and/or CMV, the potential role of individual viruses in the observed symptomatology could not be determined. This is the first evidence and characterization of BPEV from the central European region.

Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the incidence, diversity and distribution of viruses infecting pepper (Capsicum spp.) in the central, northern and northeastern parts of Thailand. During a survey in 2016 - 2019, a total of 2,149 leaf samples from symptomatic and asymptomatic peppers were collected randomly from farmer's fields, and preliminary tested by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using 7 antibodies specific for cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), tomato necrotic ringspot virus (TNRV), tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), potato virus Y (PVY), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), and begomoviruses. Our data revealed that the incidence of the viruses infecting pepper in Thailand was high, accounting for nearly 70% (1,482 infected samples). The highest viral incidence was found in the central part (96%), followed by the north (74.4%) and the northeastern (52.8%), respectively. Begomoviruses, CMV, ChiVMV, and TNRV were detected in the samples at varying rates, whereas PVY, TMV, and TSWV were not detected. Of these, the most frequently found virus was Begomoviruses accounting for nearly 33%, with the highest rate (ca. 82%) in the central Provinces of Thailand. In addition, of the 1,482 infected samples, mixed infections among the four viruses were also found in 616 samples (ca. 42%), and CMV + ChiVMV (approximately 11%) was the most common mixed infection. This is the first report describing an occurrence of viruses in pepper of Thailand, and the results obtained have revealed that viruses infecting pepper are widespread, which may pose a threat to pepper production in Thailand.

Abstract
A virus isolate from tabasco pepper (Capsicum frutescens) has been reported as a strain of the comovirus Andean potato mottle virus (APMoV). Using the replicative intermediate viral dsRNA, the pepper virus strain was sequenced by Illumina MiSeq. The viral genome was de novo assembled resulting in two RNAs with lengths of 6028 and 3646 nt. Nucleotide sequence analysis indicated that they corresponded to the RNA-1 and RNA-2 of a novel comovirus which we tentatively named pepper mild mosaic virus (PepMMV). Predictions of the open reading frame (ORF) of RNA-1 resulted in a single ORF of 5871 nt with five cistrons typical of comoviruses, cofactor proteinase, helicase, viral protein genome-linked, 3C-like proteinase (Pro), and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP). Similarly, sequence analysis of RNA-2 resulted in a single ORF of 3009 nt with two cistrons typical of comoviruses: movement protein and coat protein (large coat protein and small coat proteins). In pairwise amino acid sequence alignments using the Pro-Pol protein, PepMMV shared the closest identities with broad bean true mosaic virus and cowpea mosaic virus, 56% and 53.9% respectively. In contrast, in alignments of the amino acid sequence of the coat protein (small and large coat proteins) PepMMV shared the closest identities to APMoV and red clover mottle virus, 54% and 40.9% respectively. A phylogenetic tree constructed using the conserved domains for the Pro-Pol from all members of the family Secoviridae confirmed the comovirus nature of the virus. Phylogenetic and sequence analyses supports proposing PepMMV as a new species of the genus Comovirus.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the most devastating phytopathogens of Capsicum. The single dominant resistance gene, Cucumber mosaic resistant 1 (Cmr1), that confers resistance to the CMV isolate P0 has been overcome by a new isolate (CMV-P1) after being deployed in pepper (Capsicum annuum) breeding for over 20 years. A recently identified Indian C. annuum cultivar, "Lam32," displays resistance to CMV-P1. In this study, we show that the resistance in "Lam32" is controlled by a single recessive gene, CMV resistance gene 2 (cmr2). We found that cmr2 conferred resistance to CMV strains including CMV-Korean, CMV-Fny, and CMV-P1, indicating that cmr2 provides a broad-spectrum type of resistance. We utilized two molecular mapping approaches to determine the chromosomal location of cmr2. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) using amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLP) (BSA-AFLP) revealed one marker, cmvAFLP, located 16 cM from cmr2. BSA using the Affymetrix pepper array (BSA-Affy) identified a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker (Affy4) located 2.3 cM from cmr2 on chromosome 8. We further screened a pepper germplasm collection of 4,197 accessions for additional CMV-P1 resistance sources and found that some accessions contained equivalent levels of resistance to that of "Lam32." Inheritance and allelism tests demonstrated that all the resistance sources examined contained cmr2. Our result thus provide genetic and molecular evidence that cmr2 is a single recessive gene that confers to pepper an unprecedented resistance to the dangerous new isolate CMV-P1 that had overcome Cmr1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The green peach aphid (GPA), Myzus persicae, is economically one of the most threatening pests in pepper cultivation, which not only causes direct damage but also transmits many viruses. Breeding aphid resistant pepper varieties is a promising and environmentally friendly method to control aphid populations in the field and in the greenhouse. Until now, no strong sources of resistance against the GPA have been identified. Therefore the main aims of this study were to identify pepper materials with a good level of resistance to GPA and to elucidate possible resistance mechanisms. RESULTS We screened 74 pepper accessions from different geographical areas for resistance to M. persicae. After four rounds of evaluation we identified one Capsicum baccatum accession (PB2013071) as highly resistant to M. persicae, while the accessions PB2013062 and PB2012022 showed intermediate resistance. The resistance of PB2013071 resulted in a severely reduced uptake of phloem compared to the susceptible accession, as determined by Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) studies. Feeding of M. persicae induced the expression of callose synthase genes and resulted in callose deposition in the sieve elements in resistant, but not in susceptible plants. CONCLUSIONS Three aphid resistant pepper accessions were identified, which will be important for breeding aphid resistant pepper varieties in the future. The most resistant accession PB2013071 showed phloem-based resistance against aphid infestation.

Abstract
The TOM1/TOM3 genes from Arabidopsis are involved in the replication of tobamoviruses. Tomato homologs of these genes, LeTH1, LeTH2 and LeTH3, are known. In this study, we examined transgenic tomato lines where inverted repeats of either LeTH1, LeTH2 or LeTH3 were introduced by Agrobacterium. Endogenous mRNA expression for each gene was detected in non-transgenic control plants, whereas a very low level of each of the three genes was found in the corresponding line. Small interfering RNA was detected in the transgenic lines. Each silenced line showed similar levels of tobamovirus resistance, indicating that each gene is similarly involved in virus replication.

Abstract
In recent years, symptoms of vein yellowing and leaf roll in pepper crops associated with the presence of poleroviruses (genus Polerovirus, family Luteoviridae) have been emerging in many countries worldwide. Spain was the first country in Europe where the yellowing disease of pepper was observed. In this work, a polerovirus isolate from Spain that infects pepper and has been shown to be transmitted by the aphid Aphis gossyppii (Spain-Almería 2-2013) was sequenced and compared with isolates from Japan, Israel, China and Australia. The genome (6125 nt in length, GenBank accession number KY523072) of the isolate from Spain has the typical organization of poleroviruses and contains seven open reading frames (ORF0 to ORF5 and ORF3a), putatively encoding proteins P0 to P5 and P3a. A comparison of the sequence from Spain with the four complete sequences available for poleroviruses infecting pepper showed a closer relationship to the isolate from Israel and supports the existence of a complex of at least five polerovirus species. Given that the symptoms caused by all pepper poleroviruses described to date are similar, if not identical, we propose to name them "pepper vein yellows virus 1" to "pepper vein yellows virus 5" (PeVYV-1 to PeVYV-5), with PeVYV-5 corresponding to the polerovirus from Spain described in this work. Our results and those published over the last few years have shown that the emergent poleroviruses threatening pepper crops around the world are highly complex due to recombination events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The co-infection of diverse viruses in a host plant is common; however, little is known about viral populations and their quasispecies in the host. RESULTS Here, we report the first pepper viromes that were co-infected by different types of viral genomes. The pepper viromes are dominated by geminivirus DNA-A followed by a novel carlavirus referred to as Pepper virus A. The two pepper cultivars share similar viral populations and replications. However, the quasispecies for double-stranded RNA virus and two satellite DNAs were heterogeneous and homogenous in susceptible and resistant cultivars, respectively, indicating the quasispecies of an individual virus depends on the host. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, we provide the first evidence that the host plant resistant to viruses has an unrevealed antiviral system, affecting viral quasispecies, not replication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) is a recently identified species in the genus Tobamovirus and was first reported from a greenhouse tomato sample collected in Mexico in 2013. In August 2013, ToMMV was detected on peppers (Capsicum spp.) in China. However, little is known about the molecular and biological characteristics of ToMMV. METHODS Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid identification of cDNA ends (RACE) were carried out to obtain the complete genomic sequences of ToMMV. Sap transmission was used to test the host range and pathogenicity of ToMMV. RESULTS The full-length genomes of two ToMMV isolates infecting peppers in Yunnan Province and Tibet Autonomous Region of China were determined and analyzed. The complete genomic sequences of both ToMMV isolates consisted of 6399 nucleotides and contained four open reading frames (ORFs) encoding 126, 183, 30 and 18 kDa proteins from the 5' to 3' end, respectively. Overall similarities of the ToMMV genome sequence to those of the other tobamoviruses available in GenBank ranged from 49.6% to 84.3%. Phylogenetic analyses of the sequences of full-genome nucleotide and the amino acids of its four proteins confirmed that ToMMV was most closely related to Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV). According to the genetic structure, host of origin and phylogenetic relationships, the available 32 tobamoviruses could be divided into at least eight subgroups based on the host plant family they infect: Solanaceae-, Brassicaceae-, Cactaceae-, Apocynaceae-, Cucurbitaceae-, Malvaceae-, Leguminosae-, and Passifloraceae-infecting subgroups. The detection of ToMMV on some solanaceous, cucurbitaceous, brassicaceous and leguminous plants in Yunnan Province and other few parts of China revealed ToMMV only occurred on peppers so far. However, the host range test results showed ToMMV could infect most of the tested solanaceous and cruciferous plants, and had a high affinity for the solanaceous plants. CONCLUSIONS The complete nucleotide sequences of two Chinese ToMMV isolates from naturally infected peppers were verified. The tobamoviruses were divided into at least eight subgroups, with ToMMV belonging to the subgroup that infected plants in the Solanaceae. In China, ToMMV only occurred on peppers in the fields till now. ToMMV could infect the plants in family Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae by sap transmission.
