The prominent multiplication of Japanese soil-borne wheat mosaic virus co-infected with barley yellow mosaic virus in barley. PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 2024; 176:e14540.

Abstract
Various members of the viral genera Furovirus and Bymovirus are damaging pathogens of a range of crop species. Infection of the soil-borne plasmodiophorid Polymyxa graminis transmits both Japanese soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (JSBWMV) and the barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) to barley, but their interaction during an episode of their co-infection has not been characterized to date. Here, we present an analysis of the titer of JSBWMV and BaYMV in plants of winter barley growing over a five-month period from late fall until mid-spring. Although JSBWMV was detectable in the plants' roots four weeks earlier than BaYMV, the translocation of both viruses from the root to the leaves occurred nearly simultaneously. Both viruses were co-localized in the roots, leaf sheathes, and leaf blades; however, in some stripes of leaf veins where infection by JSBWMV was prominent, BaYMV was not detectable. A substantial titer of both viruses persisted until early spring, after which JSBWMV became more prominent, being in a range of 10 to 100 times abundant of BaYMV. However, JSBWMV was only able to infect a single wheat accession (cv. Norin 61), whereas all of the wheat entries assayed appeared to be immune to BaYMV infection. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of resistance mechanisms against soil-borne viruses in cereal crops, expanding our understanding of plant-virus interactions and potentially informing strategies for crop protection against viral pathogens.

Utility of a GFP-expressing Barley yellow mosaic virus for analyzing disease resistance genes. BREEDING SCIENCE 2021; 71:484-490.

Abstract
The soil-borne plasmodiophorid Polymyxa graminis is a vector for Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV), which can severely damage barley plants. Although 22 disease resistance genes have been identified, only a few have been used for breeding virus-resistant cultivars. Recently, BaYMV strains capable of overcoming the effects of some of these genes have been detected. In this study, green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing BaYMV was constructed and used to examine viral dynamics in inoculated barley plants. Leaf inoculations resulted in higher infection rates than root or crown inoculations. Additionally, inoculations of some resistant cultivars produced infections that were similar to those observed in a field test. The results of this study indicate that the GFP-expressing virus is a useful tool for visualizing virus replication and dynamics, and for understanding resistance mechanisms.

Abstract
Polymyxa graminis is an obligate parasite of roots and an important vector of viruses that damage cereal crops in different parts of the world. In 2011 and 2012, P. graminis was identified infecting 11 wheat root samples from three widely dispersed locations in southwest Australia. Its presence was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and confirmed by DNA sequencing of the transcribed regions of its ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) and observing sporosori of characteristic morphology and size in stained wheat roots. Also, when soil samples were collected from two locations where P. graminis was found and wheat bait plants grown in them, P. graminis was detected in their roots by PCR. Ribosomal DNA sequences of six southwest Australian isolates were obtained from wheat roots, and one northeast Australian isolate from barley roots. When these seven P. graminis sequences were compared with others from GenBank by phylogenetic analysis, three southwest Australian isolates were classified as P. graminis f. sp. temperata (ribotypes Ia and Ib), and three as f. sp. tepida (ribotypes IIa and IIb). P. graminis f. sp. temperata and tepida both occur in temperate growing regions of other continents and are associated with transmission of soil-borne viruses to cereal crops. The P. graminis isolate from northeast Australia was sufficiently distinct from the five existing sequence groups for it to be placed into a newly proposed grouping, ribotype VI, which also included an isolate from tropical West Africa. However, when randomly collected wheat leaf samples from 39 field crops from 27 widely dispersed locations, 21 individual wheat plant samples collected from low lying areas within 21 fields at 11 locations, and wheat bait plants growing in five soil samples from two locations were tested by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR for the presence of Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus, Soil-borne cereal mosaic virus, Wheat spindle streak mosaic virus, and furoviruses in general, no virus infection was detected. These findings suggest at least three P. graminis introductions into Australia, and the occurrence of f. sp. temperata (ribotype I) and f. sp. tepida (ribotype II) suggests that, if not already present, soil-borne cereal viruses are likely to become established should they become introduced to the continent in the future.

Abstract
Polymyxa species transmit viruses to many important crops. They are poorly understood obligate parasites occupying a distinct position in the Tree of Life. To better understand the potential for spread of Polymyxa-vectored diseases, ribosomal DNA was analysed from isolates covering a wide range of geographical locations, virus associations and hosts. Internal transcribed spacer 2 structure analysis indicated that Polymyxa graminis isolates could represent many species and there was more sequence variation within the known subgroups (ribotypes) than previously described. In cereal crops and soils from temperate climates Polymyxa isolates were usually ribotype I or II, but their host specificities or preferences were unclear. For the first time, there was evidence that ribotype I (in addition to ribotype II) could transmit SBWMV/SBCMV. Different ribotypes often occurred together in the same soil or plant. New hosts were identified for particular ribotypes, including the first detection of the sugar beet-infecting Polymyxa betae, in wheat. Unexpectedly, ribotype III-like sequences, usually restricted to crops in the tropics, were found in wheat from the USA. P. betae isolates showed limited variation (≤ 2%) and the recent change in susceptibility of sugar beet varieties to BNYVV in the USA is unlikely to be due to changes in P. betae.

Abstract
Polymyxa spp. are obligate biotrophs belonging to the plasmodiophorid group, responsible for transmitting a large number of plant viruses to many crop species. Their obligate nature makes them difficult to study. Controlled environment experiments were used to investigate the potential of infection of Arabidopsis thaliana by Polymyxa spp. to provide a more tractable system. Two ecotypes of Arabidopsis, Columbia and Landsberg erecta, were grown in soils known to be infested with Polymyxa. At the end of a 2-month growth period, both ecotypes were found to harbour Polymyxa-like structures or spores. These findings were confirmed by Polymyxa-specific PCR tests and rDNA sequencing, which positively identified the presence of Polymyxa in the roots of both ecotypes of Arabidopsis. Both Polymyxa graminis and Polymyxa betae were identified. This is the first report of infection of Arabidopsis by Polymyxa spp. and shows the possibility of using this system for studies of infection biology and host-parasite interactions.

Abstract
Spatiotemporal infection patterns of Soilborne cereal mosaic virus (SBCMV) were compared between resistant and susceptible wheat cultivars to elucidate disease resistance mechanisms. Resistance to SBCMV was manifested by a gradual disappearance of the viral coat protein (CP) from the roots following an initial short period of steady accumulation. Interestingly, viral RNA persisted in the roots of resistant cultivars even after the CP had disappeared. Traces of viral RNA were also detected in the uninoculated leaves of the resistant cv. Cadenza. These findings suggest that the resistance mechanism to SBCMV in wheat involves the efficient disassembly of virus particles and either an inhibition of further synthesis of viral CP or its proteolytic degradation. SBCMV accumulated in the leaves of a small proportion of individual plants of Cadenza and other recognized resistant cultivars, highlighting the leaky nature of the resistance, but the roots of these plants were often devoid of viral CP. Increasing or decreasing the concentration of the inocula had no effect on the incidence rate of such "resistance breakdown"; however, a positive correlation was found between the incidence rate of resistance breakdown and the percentage of systemically infected individuals of recognized susceptible cultivars in each separate experiment.
