Abstract
Calanthe mild mosaic virus (CalMMV) infecting orchids is an important potyvirus which is known to cause mild leaf mosaic and flower colour-breaking symptoms in Calanthe and other orchid plants. The present study reports the production of polyclonal antibodies against CalMMV using bacterially expressed recombinant coat protein as immunogen, which in turn would be useful in routine indexing and screening of orchid germplasm. The coat protein (CP) gene (~ 807 bp) of CalMMV isolated from infected orchid sample was cloned in expression vector, pET-28a ( +) that yielded ~ 31 kDa fusion protein with Histidine tag (His6BP). The expression of fusion CP was confirmed through SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The His6BP-CalMMV-CP obtained in soluble state after purification was used to immunize New Zealand white rabbit for the production of polyclonal antibodies (PAb). The PAb produced against the purified fusion protein successfully detected CAlMMV in the orchid samples at a dilution of 1:2000 in direct antigen-coated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAC-ELISA). This study presents the first report of Histidine tag (His6BP) fusion CalMMV-CP-based antibody production and its successful application in the identification of the virus in orchid plants. Outcome of this study will be helpful in routine certification programmes, screening of orchid germplasm and production of CalMMV-free planting materials of orchids.

Abstract
A comprehensive study on the whole spectrum of viruses and viroids in five Iranian grapevine cultivars was carried out using sRNA libraries prepared from phloem tissue. A comparison of two approaches to virus detection from sRNAome data indicated a significant difference in the results and performance of the aligners in viral genome reconstruction. The results showed a complex virome in terms of viral composition, abundance, and richness. Thirteen viruses and viroids were identified in five Iranian grapevine cultivars, among which the grapevine red blotch virus and grapevine satellite virus were detected for the first time in Iranian vineyards. Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 1 (GLRaV1) and grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) were highly dominant in the virome. However, their frequency and abundance were somewhat different among grapevine cultivars. The results revealed a mixed infection of GLRaV1/grapevine yellow speckle viroid 1 (GYSVd1) and GFLV/GYSVd1 in grapevines that exhibited yellows and vein banding. We also propose a threshold of 14% of complete reconstruction as an appropriate threshold for detection of grapevine viruses that can be used as indicators for reliable grapevine virome profiling or in quarantine stations and certification programs.

Abstract
Since the first identification and full sequence of the polerovirus pepper vein yellows virus in Australia in 2016, virus surveys of crops and weeds have sporadically identified PeVYV in different hosts and locations. Genomic comparisons of 14 PeVYV-like isolates using RT-PCR products spanning the 3' end of the RdRp region (ORF 2), the intergenic region, ORF 3a, ORF 4, and ORF 3 (1388 nt) showed that four of the PeVYV isolates might be a new variant or PeVYV-like virus. From six PeVYV-positive plants, eight PeVYV-like sequences were obtained by high-throughput sequencing, as two hosts, 5352 and 5634, contained two slightly different PeVYV-like isolates. Three of the PeVYV-like isolates were most closely related to PeVYV-6 and PeVYV-5, and two isolates were closely related to PeVYV-9 and PeVYV-2. The other three isolates shared only 69-74% nucleotide sequence identity across the whole genome with any of the other PeVYVs, despite sharing 73-98%, 87-91%, and 84-87% amino acid sequence identity in ORF 3a, ORF 3, and the RdRp (ORF 2), respectively, suggesting that this virus is a new PeVYV-like virus, which we have tentatively called PeVYV-10. This is also the first report of a PeVYV-like virus infecting garlic.

Abstract
Passiflora virus Y was detected naturally infecting soybean (Glycine max) for the first time in Brazil. Here, we report the nearly complete genome sequence and molecular and biological properties of the PaVY-Br isolate. The nearly complete genome sequence is 9679 nt long and shares 84.4% nt sequence identity with a previously reported PaVY isolate from Passiflora sp. PaVY-Br induced chlorotic spots and systemic mosaic on soybean and chlorotic local lesions on yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) and sesame (Sesamum indicum). The virus was successfully transmitted by Myzus persicae, indicating that this aphid vector can contribute to the spread of PaYV from passion fruit to soybean plants. Additional epidemiological research is in progress to investigate the distribution of PaVY in soybean production areas in Brazil.

Abstract
During our previous study, the mixed infection of canna yellow mottle virus (CaYMV), bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was identified in a Black Knight cultivar of canna exhibiting severe yellow streak and mottling symptoms. Before the development of the virus-free plants, the ability of callogenesis and organogenesis from the ovary, stalk, and rhizome explants was tested on different concentrations and combinations of TDZ, NAA, BAP, and Ads growth regulators. The performance of rhizome explants was above all the explant types and 33.33 ± 1.67 rhizomes (out of 50 placed) showed callus development on ME medium (MS supplemented with 0.8 mg/L TDZ and 0.25 mg/L NAA) and further on a refined M4 medium (MS supplemented with 4.0 mg/L BAP, 1.0 mg/L NAA and 50 mg/L Ads) produced 4.06 ± 0.16 shoots per explant. The development of virus-free plants was attempted by in vitro chemotherapy using ribavirin. Not only in callogenesis and shoot development but also in the ribavirin treatments, rhizomes developed about 3.78 ± 0.68 shoots per explant on 40 mg/L ribavirin in the ME medium. These optimizations suggested that ME medium for callogenesis, M4 medium for shoot development and the treatment of 40 mg/L ribavirin for 30 days at M4 medium was effective. The elimination of coinfection of all three viruses from rhizome explants of 0.5 cm2 of the Black Knight cultivar was attempted. Consequently, a total of 53.33% of plants free from all three viruses (48 out of the 90 plants developed) were obtained when screened by RT-PCR and PCR for their absence.

Abstract
Bermuda grass latent virus (BGLV; genus Panicovirus) is identified for the first time in Australia and in only the second country after the USA. A full-length genome sequence was obtained, which has 97% nucleotide sequence identity to that of the species exemplar isolate. Surveys for BGLV, utilising a newly designed universal panicovirus RT-PCR assay for diagnosis, demonstrated widespread infection by this virus in a broad variety of Bermuda grass cultivars (Cynodon dactylon and C. dactylon × C. transvaalensis) grown in both New South Wales and Queensland. The virus was also detected in Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) and Kikuyu grass (Cenchrus clandestinus), which are both important pasture grasses in subtropical Australia, and the latter is also grown as turf. Furthermore, the Rhodes grass plant, which had strong mosaic symptoms, was also infected with sugarcane mosaic virus, warranting further investigations as to whether synergistic interactions occur between these two viruses.

Abstract
In this study, a new virus was identified in French hydrangea plants, exhibiting chlorotic vein banding and necrotic ring spots on older leaves. The virus was mechanically transmitted to herbaceous hosts, in which it induced local and systemic or only local symptoms. The genome of the new virus was characterized and consisted of three RNA sequences that were 3422 (RNA 1), 2905 (RNA 2) and 2299 (RNA 3) nucleotides long, with five predicted open reading frames; RNA2 was bicistronic and contained conserved domains and motifs typical of ilarviruses. The phylogenetic analysis of the predicted proteins—p1, p2a, p3a and p3b—revealed its close relationship to recognized members of subgroup 2 within the genus Ilarvirus. Homologous antiserum was effective in the detection of the virus in plant extracts and no cross reactions with two other distinct members of subgroup 2 were observed. Overall, the biological features, phylogenetic relationships and serological data suggest that this virus is a new member of the genus, for which we propose the name hydrangea vein banding virus (HdVBV).

Abstract
Following a request from the EU Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health conducted a pest categorisation of Apium virus Y (ApVY) for the EU territory. The identity of the ApVY, a member of the genus Potyvirus (family Potyviridae), is well established and reliable detection methods are available. The pathogen is not included in EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072. ApVY, considered endemic in Australia, was reported also in New Zealand and USA. In the EU, the virus was identified in Germany and Slovenia. No information on adoption of official control measures is available. In natural conditions, ApVY infects plant species of the family Apiaceae (i.e. celery, coriander, dill, parsley, bishop's weed) in which it generally induces leaf symptoms and/or stunting. In some hosts (i.e. parsley and poison hemlock), ApVY may be asymptomatic. The virus is transmitted in a non-persistent manner by the aphid Myzus persicae which is widespread in the EU. Although ApVY transmission through seeds has been experimentally excluded for some hosts (i.e. poison hemlock and celery), uncertainty exists for the other hosts because seed transmission is not uncommon for potyvirids. Plants for planting, including seeds for sowing, were identified as potential pathways for entry of ApVY into the EU. Cultivated and wild hosts of ApVY are distributed across the EU. Economic impact on the production of the cultivated hosts is expected if further entry and spread in the EU occur. Phytosanitary measures are available to prevent further entry and spread of the virus. Currently, ApVY does not fulfil the criterion of being absent or present with restricted distribution and under official control to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine, unless official control is implemented. This conclusion is associated with high uncertainty regarding the current virus distribution in the EU.

Abstract
The genome sequence of a new subgroup C nepovirus from Stenotaphrum secundatum in Australia is described. This virus, tentatively named Stenotaphrum nepovirus (SteNV), was present in separate plants as a mixed infection with either sugarcane mosaic virus or Panicum mosaic virus. The virus genome was divided between two RNA segments, 7,824 and 7,104 nucleotides (nt) in length, which each encode a single long polyprotein with putative 3C-like cysteine protease sites of the type H/G, H/S or L/S. The 3' untranslated region of RNA2, at 2,155 nt, is the longest observed for any subgroup C nepovirus. Phylogenetic analyses using protease-polymerase and coat protein amino acid alignments suggest that SteNV is most closely related to cherry leaf roll virus. Using a newly developed RT-PCR assay, this virus was detected at multiple localities in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, and in a second host species, Digitaria didactyla. No consistent association between virus infection and symptoms could be established. The economic importance, pathogenicity and transmission of this novel virus species warrant further investigation.

Abstract
In this review, encouraged by the dictum of Theodosius Dobzhansky that "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution", we outline the likely evolutionary pathways that have resulted in the observed similarities and differences of the extant molecules, biology, distribution, etc. of the potyvirids and, especially, its largest genus, the potyviruses. The potyvirids are a family of plant-infecting RNA-genome viruses. They had a single polyphyletic origin, and all share at least three of their genes (i.e., the helicase region of their CI protein, the RdRp region of their NIb protein and their coat protein) with other viruses which are otherwise unrelated. Potyvirids fall into 11 genera of which the potyviruses, the largest, include more than 150 distinct viruses found worldwide. The first potyvirus probably originated 15,000-30,000 years ago, in a Eurasian grass host, by acquiring crucial changes to its coat protein and HC-Pro protein, which enabled it to be transmitted by migrating host-seeking aphids. All potyviruses are aphid-borne and, in nature, infect discreet sets of monocotyledonous or eudicotyledonous angiosperms. All potyvirus genomes are under negative selection; the HC-Pro, CP, Nia, and NIb genes are most strongly selected, and the PIPO gene least, but there are overriding virus specific differences; for example, all turnip mosaic virus genes are more strongly conserved than those of potato virus Y. Estimates of dN/dS (ω) indicate whether potyvirus populations have been evolving as one or more subpopulations and could be used to help define species boundaries. Recombinants are common in many potyvirus populations (20%-64% in five examined), but recombination seems to be an uncommon speciation mechanism as, of 149 distinct potyviruses, only two were clear recombinants. Human activities, especially trade and farming, have fostered and spread both potyviruses and their aphid vectors throughout the world, especially over the past five centuries. The world distribution of potyviruses, especially those found on islands, indicates that potyviruses may be more frequently or effectively transmitted by seed than experimental tests suggest. Only two meta-genomic potyviruses have been recorded from animal samples, and both are probably contaminants.

Abstract
Potyvirus genus clusters a significant and expanding number of widely distributed plant viruses, responsible for large losses impacting most crops of economic interest. The potyviral genome is a single-stranded, linear, positive-sense RNA of around 10kb that is encapsidated in flexuous rod-shaped filaments, mostly made up of a helically arranged coat protein (CP). Beyond its structural role of protecting the viral genome, the potyviral CP is a multitasking protein intervening in practically all steps of the virus life cycle. In particular, interactions between the CP and the viral RNA must be tightly controlled to allow the correct assignment of the RNA to each of its functions through the infection process. This review attempts to bring together the most relevant available information regarding the architecture and modus operandi of potyviral CP and virus particles, highlighting significant discoveries, but also substantial gaps in the existing knowledge on mechanisms orchestrating virion assembly and disassembly. Biotechnological applications based on potyvirus nanoparticles is another important topic addressed here.

Abstract
The complete genome sequence of Narcissus yellow stripe potyvirus (NYSV) isolated from Narcissus tazetta cv. Paperwhite exhibiting leaf chlorotic stripe symptoms was determined for the first time from India. The viral genome sequence contained 9650 nucleotides that encode a large polyprotein (372.36 kDa) of 3103 amino acids. The comparison of the NYSV genome sequences with corresponding sequences of other potyviruses revealed 90-97% identities and closest phylogenetic relationships with NYSV-Zhangzhou-1 and -ZZ-2 isolates infecting N. tazetta reported from China. Therefore, the NYSV isolate understudy was considered as a new member of NYSV and designated as NYSV-NAR2.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) causes disease in potatoes and other solanaceous crops. The appearance of its necrogenic strains in the 1980s made it the most economically important virus of potatoes. We report the isolation and genomic sequences of 32 Peruvian isolates of PVY which, together with 428 published PVY genomic sequences, gave an alignment of 460 sequences. Of these 190 (41%) were non-recombinant, and 162 of these provided a dated phylogeny, that corresponds well with the likely history of PVY, and show that PVY originated in South America which is where potatoes were first domesticated. The most basal divergences of the PVY population produced the N and C: O phylogroups; the origin of the N phylogroup is clearly Andean, but that of the O and C phylogroups is unknown, although they may have been first to establish in European crops. The current PVY population originated around 156 CE. PVY was probably first taken from South America to Europe in the 16th century in tubers. Most of the present PVY diversity emerged in the second half of the 19th century, after the Phytophthora infestans epidemics of the mid-19th century destroyed the European crop and stimulated potato breeding. Imported breeding lines were shared, and there was no quarantine. The early O population was joined later by N phylogroup isolates and their recombinants generated the R1 and R2 populations of damaging necrogenic strains. Our dating study has confirmed that human activity has dominated the phylodynamics of PVY for the last two millennia.

Abstract
Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) is one of the most devastating viruses which causes huge damage to papaya plantations across the globe. PRSV is a positive sense RNA virus encoding for a polyprotein that is processed into ten proteins. In this study for the first time we analyzed the variability for 15 PRSV isolates from a selected geographical region of a South Indian state Karnataka, which is under intensive papaya cultivation. Variability studies were done for two genes at the 5' end of the viral genome, namely P1 and helper component proteinase (Hc-Pro) and towards the 3' end, a 788 nt overlapping region of nuclear inclusion B (NIb, 692 nt) and of capsid protein (CP, 96 nt), referred as NIb-CP. Our studies indicate that the P1 is most variable region with a wider range of sequence identity, followed by Hc-Pro, while the 788 nt of NIb-CP was most conserved. P1 also showed maximum recombination events followed by Hc-Pro, whereas NIb-CP did not show any recombination. Further, the pattern and number of phylogenetic clusters was variable for each of the three genomic regions of PRSV isolates. Estimation of selection pressure for all the three PRSV genomic regions indicated negative and purifying selection.

Abstract
A new polerovirus species with the proposed name faba bean polerovirus 1 (FBPV-1) was found in winter legume crops and weeds in New South Wales, Australia. We describe the complete genome sequence of 5,631 nucleotides, containing all putative open reading frames, from two isolates, one from faba bean (Vicia faba) and one from chickpea (Cicer arietinum). FBPV-1 has a genome organization typical of poleroviruses with six open reading frames. However, recombination analysis strongly supports a recombination event in which the 5' portion of FBPV-1, which encodes for proteins P0, P1 and P1-P2, appears to be from a novel parent with a closest nucleotide identity of only 66% to chickpea chlorotic stunt virus. The 3' portion of FBPV-1 encodes for proteins P3, P4 and P3-P5 and shares 94% nucleotide identity to a turnip yellows virus isolate from Western Australia.

Abstract
The use of a unique riboprobe named polyprobe, carrying partial sequences of different plant viruses or viroids fused in tandem, has permitted the polyvalent detection of up to 10 different pathogens by using a nonradioactive molecular hybridization procedure. In the present analysis, we have developed a unique polyprobe with the capacity to detect all members of the genus Potyvirus, which we have named genus-probe. To do this, we have exploited the capacity of the molecular hybridization assay to cross-hybridize with related sequences by reducing the hybridization temperature. We observed that sequences showing a percentage similarity of 68% or higher could be detected with the same probe by hybridizing at 50 to 55°C, with a detection limit of picograms of viral RNA comparable to the specific individual probes. According to this, we developed several polyvalent polyprobes, containing three, five, or seven different 500-nucleotide fragments of a conserved region of the NIb gene. The polyprobe carrying seven different conserved regions was able to detect all the 32 potyviruses assayed in the present work with no signal in the healthy tissue, indicating the potential capacity of the polyprobe to detect all described, and probably uncharacterized, potyviruses being then considered as a genus-probe. The use of this technology in routine diagnosis not only for Potyvirus but also to other viral genera is discussed.

Abstract
The Potyvirus genus is one of the largest genera of plant viruses and encompasses many economically important pathogens. While a number of degenerate primers for use in broad spectrum RT-PCR assays have been published, it is not clear which of these primers would be the most useful for use by plant diagnostic laboratories. Twelve sets of primers were tested for their ability to detect nine potyviruses in a two-step RT-PCR. Viruses were extracted from different host backgrounds and were selected to represent eight clades plus one species between clades (sensu Gibbs and Ohshima, 2010). Results of this study indicated that the primers CIFor/CIRev produced easily detectable amplicons from all nine potyviruses without non-specific amplification, false positives, or false negatives. CIFor/CIRev produced single amplicons from potyvirus-infected tissues which could be sequenced directly without gel purification to identify the virus to species.

Abstract
Narcissus tazetta L. is a bulbous ornamental plant popular for its notable fragrant flowers which make it the plant of high importance. In spite of its economic value, narcissus is found to be susceptible for a number of diseases borne by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and viruses. A potyvirus, Cyrtanthus elatus virus-A isolate NBRI16 (CEVA-NBRI16), associated with leaf chlorotic stripe disease of N. tazetta cv. Paperwhite was reported for first time in India from our laboratory based on the partial coat protein gene sequence. In present study, the full-length genomic sequence of CEVA-NBRI16 is determined which consists of 9942 nucleotides, excluding the polyA tail, and encodes a single large polyprotein of 3102 amino acids with the genomic features typical of a potyvirus. It shares highest 93% nucleotide sequence identity and closest phylogenetic relationship with sequences of CEVA-Marijiniup7-1 and CEVA-Marijiniup7-2, both reported from Australia on Cyrtanthus elatus host. The full-length genomic sequence of CEVA from narcissus plant is being reported for the first time from India.

Abstract
Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) and Sweet potato virus C (SPVC) isolates from sweetpotato were studied to examine genetic connectivity between viruses from Australia and Southeast Asia. East Timorese samples from sweetpotato were sent to Australia on FTA cards. Shoot and tuberous root samples were collected in Australia and planted in the glasshouse, and scions were graft inoculated to Ipomoea setosa plants. Symptoms in infected sweetpotato and I. setosa plants were recorded. RNA extracts from FTA cards and I. setosa leaf samples were subjected to high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Complete genomic sequences (CS) of SPFMV and SPVC (11 each) were obtained by HTS, and coat protein (CP) genes from them were compared with others from GenBank. SPFMV sequences clustered into two major phylogroups (A and B = RC) and two minor phylogroups (EA[I] and O[II]) within A; East Timorese sequences were in EA(I) and O(II), whereas Australian sequences were in O(II) and B(RC). With SPVC, CP trees provided sufficient diversity to distinguish major phylogroups A and B and six minor phylogroups within A (I to VI); East Timorese sequences were in minor phylogroup I, whereas Australian sequences were in minor phylogroups II and VI and in major phylogroup B. With SPFMV, Aus13B grouped with East Timorese sequence TM64B within minor phylogroup O, giving nucleotide sequence identities of 97.4% (CS) and 98.3% (CP). However, the closest match with an Australian sequence was the 97.6% (CS) and 98.7% (CP) nucleotide identity between Aus13B and an Argentinian sequence. With SPVC, closest nucleotide identity matches between Australian and East Timorese sequences were 94.1% with Aus6a and TM68A (CS) and 96.3% with Aus55-4C and TM64A (CP); however neither pair member belonged to the same minor phylogroup. Also, the closest Australian match was 99.1% (CP) nucleotide identity between Aus4C and New Zealand isolate NZ4-4. These first complete genome sequences of SPFMV and SPVC from sweetpotato plantings in the Australian continent and neighboring Southeast Asia suggest at least two (SPFMV) and three (SPVC) separate introductions to Australia since agriculture commenced more than two centuries ago. These findings have major implications for both healthy stock programs and biosecurity management in relation to pathogen entry into Australia and elsewhere.

Abstract
Narcissus plants (Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis) showing mosaic or striping leaves were collected from around Japan, and tested for virus infections using potyvirus-specific primers. Many were found to be infected with a macluravirus and mixtures of different potyviruses, one third of them narcissus yellow stripe virus (NYSV)-like viruses. Genomes of nine of the NYSV-like viruses were sequenced and, together with four already published, provided data for phylogenetic and pairwise identity analyses of their place in the turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) phylogenetic group. Using existing ICTV criteria for defining potyvirus species, the narcissus viruses in TuMV group were found to be from five species; the previously described NLSYV, and four new species we call narcissus virus 1 (NV-1) and narcissus yellow stripe-1 to -3 (NYSV-1, NYSV-2 and NYSV-3). However, as all are from a single host species, and natural recombinants with NV-1 and NYSV-3 'parents have been found in China and India, we also conclude that they could be considered to be members of a single mega-species, narcissus virus; the criteria for defining such a potyvirus species would then be that their polyprotein sequences have greater than 69% identical nucleotides and greater than 75% identical amino acids.

Abstract
The "Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) cluster" of cucurbit-infecting potyviruses contains five acknowledged species that have similar biological, serological and molecular properties. Additional data suggest there are other uncharacterized species from various locations in the world that likely belong to the PRSV cluster including a new PRSV-like virus reported from Sudan in 2003. Molecular and biological data indicated that the virus from Sudan belongs to a new species, tentatively named wild melon vein banding virus (WMVBV). The complete nucleotide sequence of a second virus from Sudan revealed it was a divergent relative of Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus (MWMV). Based on sequence similarity this virus was determined to be a distinct species and tentatively named Sudan watermelon mosaic virus (SuWMV). Molecular analyses indicate that SuWMV is a recombinant between WMVBV- and MWMV-related viruses. Based on surveys performed in Sudan between 1992 and 2012, SuWMV appeared 10 times more frequent than WMVBV in that country (14.6% vs. 1.5% of the samples tested). The geographic structure and molecular diversity patterns of the putative and acknowledged species suggest that the PRSV-like cluster originated in the Old World about 3600 years ago, with an important diversification in Africa.

Abstract
Squash vein yellowing virus (SqVYV) causes viral watermelon vine decline. To facilitate detection of SqVYV, enzyme linked-immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) diagnostic methods were developed. Both methods were capable of detecting SqVYV in a wide range of cucurbit hosts. ELISA was able to detect virus in infected host tissue diluted to at least 1:2,560, which was sufficient for detection in symptomatic squash and watermelon plants. The qRT-PCR method was capable of reliably detecting as few as 3.4 copies of a cloned fragment of SqVYV genomic RNA with an average cycle threshold (Ct) value of 36.4. The sensitivities and specificities for each detection method were estimated by latent class analysis for a set of inoculated squash and watermelon plants at two sampling scales. The scales were hierarchical, with individual plants representing the upper scale and samples from the plant representing the lower scale. The number of samples per plant varied from 1 to 8, and a plant was diagnosed positive if any of its samples tested positive. For all analyses, a cutoff Ct of 35 was chosen for qRT-PCR, which is approximately 2.5 cycles lower than the lowest Ct value achieved for mock-inoculated plants (presumed to be a false positive). qRT-PCR showed high sensitivities (≥0.99) at both sampling scales for squash and watermelon, whereas the sensitivities for ELISA ranged from 0.58 to 0.76. The specificities for both tests were very similar (≥0.94), with ELISA sometimes outperforming qRT-PCR. These diagnostic methods provide additional tools for the identification of SqVYV and management of SqVYV-induced watermelon vine decline.

[PMID: 28006670 DOI: 10.1016/j.virol.2016.12.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2016] [Revised: 12/12/2016] [Accepted: 12/14/2016] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Unusual Plum pox virus (PPV) isolates (named Tat isolates) were discovered on sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) in Russia. They failed to be recognized by RT-PCR using commonly employed primers specific to the strains C or CR (the only ones that proved able to infect sour cherry) as well as to the strains M and W. Some of them can be detected by RT-PCR using the PPV-D-specific primers P1/PD or by TAS-ELISA with the PPV-C-specific monoclonal antibody AC. Phylogenetic analysis of the 3'-terminal genomic region assigned the Tat isolates into the cluster of cherry-adapted strains. However, they grouped separately from the C and CR strains and from each other as well. The sequence divergence of the Tat isolates is comparable to the differences between the known PPV strains. They may represent new group(s) of cherry-adapted isolates which do not seem to belong to any known strain of the virus.

Abstract
An isometric virus was isolated from a cultivated Adonis plant (A. ramosa). The purified virus particle is 28 nm in diameter and is composed of a single coat protein and a single RNA genome of 3,991 nucleotides. Sequence analysis showed that the virus is closely related to carnation mottle virus. The virus was used to mechanically infect healthy A. ramosa plants, resulting in mosaic and leaf curl symptoms; however, attempts to inoculate carnation plants did not result in infection. We propose the virus as a new carmovirus and have named it adonis mosaic virus (AdMV).

Abstract
There is no attempt to evaluate evolutionary rates, timescales and diversities of viruses collected from mixedly infected hosts in nature. Plants of the genus Narcissus are a monocotyledon and are susceptible to several viruses. In this study, narcissus plants (Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis) showing mosaic or striping leaves were collected in Japan, and these were investigated for potyvirus infections using potyvirus-specific primers. Individual narcissus plants were found frequently to be mixedly infected with different potyviruses, different isolates and quasispecies of same virus. The viruses were potyviruses and a macluravirus in the family Potyviridae, namely Narcissus late season yellows virus (NLSYV), Narcissus yellow stripe virus (NYSV), Narcissus degeneration virus (NDV), Cyrtanthus elatus virus A (CyEVA) and Narcissus latent virus (NLV). Genetic diversities of coat protein coding region of different virus species were different; NYSV and CyEVA were most diverse whereas NDV was least. Evolutionary rates of all five narcissus viruses were 1.33-7.15×10-3nt/site/year and were similar. The most recent common ancestors (TMRCAs) varied between virus species; NYSV and CyEVA were the oldest whereas NDV was the youngest. Thus, the oldness of TMRCAs of the viruses correlated well with the greatness of nucleotide diversities.

Abstract
Producers worldwide need access to the best plant varieties and cultivars available to be competitive in global markets. This often means moving plants across international borders as soon as they are available. At the same time, quarantine agencies are tasked with minimizing the risk of introducing exotic pests and pathogens along with imported plant material, with the goal to protect domestic agriculture and native fauna and flora. These two drivers, the movement of more plant material and reduced risk of pathogen introduction, are at odds. Improvements in large-scale or next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics for data analysis have resulted in improved speed and accuracy of pathogen detection that could facilitate plant trade with reduced risk of pathogen movement. There are concerns to be addressed before NGS can replace existing tools used for pathogen detection in plant quarantine and certification programs. Here, we discuss the advantages and possible pitfalls of this technology for meeting the needs of plant quarantine and certification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Viral diseases are the second most significant biotic stress for sweet potato, with yield losses reaching 20% to 40%. Over 30 viruses have been reported to infect sweet potato around the world, and 11 of these have been detected in China. Most of these viruses were detected by traditional detection approaches that show disadvantages in detection throughput. Next-generation sequencing technology provides a novel, high sensitive method for virus detection and diagnosis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We report the polyadenylated RNA virome of three sweet potato cultivars using a high throughput RNA sequencing approach. Transcripts of 15 different viruses were detected, 11 of which were detected in cultivar Xushu18, whilst 11 and 4 viruses were detected in Guangshu 87 and Jingshu 6, respectively. Four were detected in sweet potato for the first time, and 4 were found for the first time in China. The most prevalent virus was SPFMV, which constituted 88% of the total viral sequence reads. Virus transcripts with extremely low expression levels were also detected, such as transcripts of SPLCV, CMV and CymMV. Digital gene expression (DGE) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses showed that the highest viral transcript expression levels were found in fibrous and tuberous roots, which suggest that these tissues should be optimum samples for virus detection. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE A total of 15 viruses were presumed to present in three sweet potato cultivars growing in China. This is the first insight into the sweet potato polyadenylated RNA virome. These results can serve as a basis for further work to investigate whether some of the 'new' viruses infecting sweet potato are pathogenic.

Abstract
Complete genome sequences of two Yellow oatgrass mosaic virus (YOgMV) isolates have been determined to be 9,292 nucleotides excluding the 3' polyadenylated tail. The viral RNA encodes a large putative open reading frame (ORF) of a single polyprotein consisting of 3,002 amino acids with typical genome organization of monopartite potyvirids. A small overlapping ORF encoding a pretty interesting Potyviridae ORF of 122 amino acids is found in the P3 cistron of both YOgMV isolates. The nucleotide and amino acid identities between the two YOgMV isolates are 90 and 97 %, respectively. Pairwise comparison of YOgMV putative mature proteins and proteinase cleavage sites with those of representative members of the family Potyviridae indicated that YOgMV is more closely related to members of the genus Tritimovirus. In phylogenetic trees constructed with sequences of putative polyprotein, YOgMV consistently groups with members of the genus Tritimovirus. These results suggest that YOgMV should be classified as a distinct species in the genus Tritimovirus in the family Potyviridae.

Abstract
Rapid detection and diagnosis of plant virus infection is one of the most important steps in preventing damages caused by viral diseases. Bromoviruses and cucumoviruses belong to the family Bromoviridae, which is one of the most important families of plant viruses, and infect a broad range of host plants including various economically important crops. In this study, an RT-PCR assay was developed for the universal detection of bromoviruses and cucumoviruses using a set of primers designed to target the conserved sequences in viral RNA1. The assay detected three species of Cucumovirus (Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Peanut stunt virus (PSV) and Tomato aspermy virus (TAV)) and two species of Bromovirus (Brome mosaic virus (BMV) and Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV)) with high specificity and sensitivity. The assay developed in this study is predicted to have the potential to detect all major members of the genera Bromovirus and Cucumovirus and to be used as a routine diagnostic assay.

Abstract
Squash vein yellowing virus (SqVYV) is the causal agent of viral watermelon vine decline, one of the most serious diseases in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.) production in the southeastern United States. At present, there is not a gold standard diagnostic test for determining the true status of SqVYV infection in plants. Current diagnostic methods for identification of SqVYV-infected plants or tissues are based on the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), tissue blot nucleic acid hybridization assays (TB), and expression of visual symptoms. A quantitative assessment of the performance of these diagnostic tests is lacking, which may lead to an incorrect interpretation of results. In this study, latent class analysis (LCA) was used to estimate the sensitivities and specificities of RT-PCR, TB, and visual assessment of symptoms as diagnostic tests for SqVYV. The LCA model assumes that the observed diagnostic test responses are linked to an underlying latent (nonobserved) disease status of the population, and can be used to estimate sensitivity and specificity of the individual tests, as well as to derive an estimate of the incidence of disease when a gold standard test does not exist. LCA can also be expanded to evaluate the effect of factors and was done here to determine whether diagnostic test performances varied among the type of plant tissue being tested (crown versus vine tissue), where plant samples were taken relative to the position of the crown (i.e., distance from the crown), host (i.e., genus), and habitat (field-grown versus greenhouse-grown plants). Results showed that RT-PCR had the highest sensitivity (0.94) and specificity (0.98) of the three tests. TB had better sensitivity than symptoms for detection of SqVYV infection (0.70 versus 0.32), while the visual assessment of symptoms was more specific than TB and, thus, a better indicator of noninfection (0.98 versus 0.65). With respect to the grouping variables, RT-PCR and TB had better sensitivity but poorer specificity for diagnosing SqVYV infection in crown tissue than it did in vine tissue, whereas symptoms had very poor sensitivity but excellent specificity in both tissues for all cucurbits analyzed in this study. Test performance also varied with habitat and genus but not with distance from the crown. The results given here provide quantitative measurements of test performance for a range of conditions and provide the information needed to interpret test results when tests are used in parallel or serial combination for a diagnosis.

Abstract
A novel tritimovirus of the family Potyviridae was isolated from tall oatgrass, Arrhenatherum elatius, exhibiting mosaic symptoms. The virus, for which the name tall oatgrass mosaic virus (TOgMV) is coined, has a filamentous particle of 720 nm and is associated with pinwheel inclusion bodies characteristic of members of the family Potyviridae. The virus was mechanically transmitted to tall oatgrass seedlings, which subsequently exhibited mosaic symptoms. The experimental host range was limited to a few monocot species. The complete genome sequence of TOgMV was determined to be 9359 nucleotides, excluding the 3' polyadenylated tail. The viral RNA encodes one large putative open reading frame of 3029 amino acids with a genome organization typical of monopartite potyvirids. Pairwise comparison of putative mature proteins and proteinase cleavage sites indicated that TOgMV is most closely related to members of the genus Tritimovirus. Phylogenetic analysis of the complete polyprotein and CP sequences of representative members of the family Potyviridae indicate that TOgMV is a distinct tritimovirus naturally infecting tall oatgrass.

Abstract
The responses of a diverse group of vining cucurbits to inoculation with Squash vein yellowing virus (SqVYV) were determined. For the first time, Cucurbita maxima, Cucumis dipsaceus, and Cucumis metuliferus were observed to develop necrosis and plant death similar to the SqVYV-induced vine decline in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus). The majority of cucurbits inoculated, however, either exhibited no symptoms of infection, or developed relatively mild symptoms such as vein yellowing of upper, noninoculated leaves. All inoculated plants were sectioned and tested for the presence of SqVYV. The virus was widely distributed in mature, fruit-bearing cucurbits with over 72% of plant sections testing positive for SqVYV by tissue-blot and/or reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Plants of several cucurbits, including a wild citron (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides), were symptomless and had a decreased frequency of virus infection of vine segments compared to susceptible vining cucurbits, indicating a higher level of resistance. However, no significant relationship between the frequency of infection or virus distribution within plants and the symptom response was observed. These results demonstrate that a diverse group of cucurbits may decline when infected with SqVYV, and suggest that widespread distribution of virus within the plant is not the sole cause of decline.

Abstract
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) plants become infected with over 30 RNA or DNA viruses in different parts of the world but little is known about viruses infecting sweetpotato crops in Central America, the center of sweetpotato domestication. Small-RNA deep-sequencing (SRDS) analysis was used to detect viruses in sweetpotato in Honduras and Guatemala, which detected Sweet potato feathery mottle virus strain RC and Sweet potato virus C (Potyvirus spp.), Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus strain WA (SPCSV-WA; Crinivirus sp.), Sweet potato leaf curl Georgia virus (Begomovirus sp.), and Sweet potato pakakuy virus strain B (synonym: Sweet potato badnavirus B). Results were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and sequencing of the amplicons. Four viruses were detected in a sweetpotato sample from the Galapagos Islands. Serological assays available to two of the five viruses gave results consistent with those obtained by SRDS, and were negative for six additional sweetpotato viruses tested. Plants coinfected with SPCSV-WA and one to two other viruses displayed severe foliar symptoms of epinasty and leaf malformation, purpling, vein banding, or chlorosis. The results suggest that SRDS is suitable for use as a universal, robust, and reliable method for detection of plant viruses, and especially useful for determining virus infections in crops infected with a wide range of unrelated viruses.

Abstract
The equivalent of US$75 million is spent each year in Brazil to control Brevipalpus phoenicis, a mite vector of Citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C). In this study, we investigated the possibility that hedgerows and windbreaks normally found in citrus orchards could host CiLV-C. Mites confined by an adhesive barrier were reared on sweet orange fruit with leprosis symptoms then were transferred to leaves of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Malvaviscus arboreus, Grevilea robusta, Bixa orellana, and Citrus sinensis. Ninety days post infestation, the descendant mites were transferred to Pera sweet orange plants to verify the transmissibility of the virus back to citrus. Nonviruliferous mites which had no feeding access to diseased tissue were used as controls. Local chlorotic or necrotic spots and ringspots, symptoms of leprosis disease, appeared in most plants tested. Results generated by reversetranscription polymerase chain reaction with primers specific for CiLV-C and by electron microscope analyses confirmed the susceptibility of these plants to CiLV-C.

Abstract
Cucurbit crops may be affected by at least 28 different viruses in the Mediterranean basin. Some of these viruses are widely distributed and cause severe yield losses while others are restricted to limited areas or specific crops, and have only a negligible economic impact. A striking feature of cucurbit viruses in the Mediterranean basin is their always increasing diversity. Indeed, new viruses are regularly isolated and over the past 35 years one "new" cucurbit virus has been reported on average every 2 years. Among these "new" viruses some were already reported in other parts of the world, but others such as Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), one of the most severe cucurbit viruses and Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV), one of the most prevalent cucurbit viruses, were first described in the Mediterranean area. Why this region may be a potential "hot-spot" for cucurbit virus diversity is not fully known. This could be related to the diversity of cropping practices, of cultivar types but also to the important commercial exchanges that always prevailed in this part of the world. This chapter describes the major cucurbit viruses occurring in the Mediterranean basin, discusses factors involved in their emergence and presents options for developing sustainable control strategies.

Indigenous and introduced potyviruses of legumes and Passiflora spp. from Australia: biological properties and comparison of coat protein nucleotide sequences. Arch Virol 2011; 156:1757-74.

Abstract
Five Australian potyviruses, passion fruit woodiness virus (PWV), passiflora mosaic virus (PaMV), passiflora virus Y, clitoria chlorosis virus (ClCV) and hardenbergia mosaic virus (HarMV), and two introduced potyviruses, bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CAbMV), were detected in nine wild or cultivated Passiflora and legume species growing in tropical, subtropical or Mediterranean climatic regions of Western Australia. When ClCV (1), PaMV (1), PaVY (8) and PWV (5) isolates were inoculated to 15 plant species, PWV and two PaVY P. foetida isolates infected P. edulis and P. caerulea readily but legumes only occasionally. Another PaVY P. foetida isolate resembled five PaVY legume isolates in infecting legumes readily but not infecting P. edulis. PaMV resembled PaVY legume isolates in legumes but also infected P. edulis. ClCV did not infect P. edulis or P. caerulea and behaved differently from PaVY legume isolates and PaMV when inoculated to two legume species. When complete coat protein (CP) nucleotide (nt) sequences of 33 new isolates were compared with 41 others, PWV (8), HarMV (4), PaMV (1) and ClCV (1) were within a large group of Australian isolates, while PaVY (14), CAbMV (1) and BCMV (3) isolates were in three other groups. Variation among PWV and PaVY isolates was sufficient for division into four clades each (I-IV). A variable block of 56 amino acid residues at the N-terminal region of the CPs of PaMV and ClCV distinguished them from PWV. Comparison of PWV, PaMV and ClCV CP sequences showed that nt identities were both above and below the 76-77% potyvirus species threshold level. This research gives insights into invasion of new hosts by potyviruses at the natural vegetation and cultivated area interface, and illustrates the potential of indigenous viruses to emerge to infect introduced plants.

Abstract
Nucleotide sequences of complete or partial coat protein (CP) genes were determined for 11 isolates of pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV) from Australia and one from China, and compared with known sequences of 20 other isolates. On phylogenetic analysis, the isolates from Australia and China grouped into 2 of 3 clades. Clade A contained three sub-clades (Ai, Aii and Aiii), Australian isolates were in Ai or Aiii, and the Chinese isolate in Aii. Clade A contained isolates in pathotypes P-1, P-2 and U-2; clade B, one isolate in P-2; and clade C, only isolates in P-4.

Abstract
Brugmansia (Brugmansia spp.) is a perennial shrub in the Solanaceae, originating from South America, that is a popular landscape plant in the tropics and subtropics and container plant in temperate regions. Virus-like symptoms including mosaic, rugosity, and faint chlorotic spots were first observed on leaves of Brugmansia plants in a south Florida nursery in November 2003. Colombian datura virus (CDV) was identified in these initial plants and subsequent Brugmansia and Datura metel (a Brugmansia relative also grown as an ornamental) plants obtained from Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and California. Overall, 77.5% of Brugmansia and two of four D. metel plants tested were infected with CDV. Partial NIb/CP sequences of 28 Brugmansia CDV isolates from this study were compared with all 16 CDV isolates in GenBank and found to share high levels of nucleotide and amino acid identity, with negative selection estimated to be occurring. A single Brugmansia plant was also infected with a recently described tobamovirus. The low genetic diversity of CDV observed, along with negative selection pressure on NIb/CP, suggests a recent ancestry (<400 years) of the worldwide population of CDV, coinciding with anthropogenic collection and dissemination of Brugmansia plants from their center of origin.

Abstract
The diagnosis of plant diseases caused by Brevipalpus-transmitted viruses (BrTVs) has been done through the analyses of symptoms, transmission electron microscopy, and RT-PCR of infected plant tissues. Here, we report the detection of Citrus leprosis virus C, Orchid fleck virus, Clerodendrum chlorotic spot virus and Solanum violaefolium ringspot virus in their viruliferous vectors Brevipalpus spp. using specific primer pairs for each of the viruses. The efficiency of virus transmission by Brevipalpus mites is low, so the detection of these pathogens in their vectors could constitute an important tool for studies involving virus-vector relationships, transmission, and monitoring the pathogen prior to the appearance of symptoms in the field.
