Viruses 2022; 14:v14071405. [PMID: 35891386 PMCID: PMC9323093 DOI: 10.3390/v14071405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Tomato-infecting viruses have been considered as a serious threat to tomato crops in Poland. Therefore, during 2014–2021, 234 tomato samples delivered directly by greenhouse tomato growers to Plant Disease Clinic of IPP-NRI were tested. Eight virus species: pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), tomato yellow ring orthotospovirus (TYRV), tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV), potato virus Y (PVY), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), tomato black ring virus (TBRV) and tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) were detected in single or mixed infection in 89 samples. The presence of TYRV was established for the first time in Poland in 2014. Since then, its presence has been observed in single and mixed infection with TSWV and CMV. Here, we analysed the genetic variability of TYRV population based on complete nucleocapsid (N) protein gene sequence of 55 TYRV isolates. Maximum-likelihood reconstruction revealed the presence of three distinct, well-supported phylogroups. Moreover, the effect of host species on virus diversity was confirmed. Therefore, RT-LAMP assay was developed for the rapid and efficient detection of TYRV isolates that can be implemented in field and greenhouse conditions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Potyviruses are among the most important pathogens of dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous ornamentals and crop plants. In this study, leaf samples were collected from symptomatic narcissus plants and weeds in Fars and Tehran provinces of Iran. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using broad-spectrum potyvirus antibodies gave a positive reaction with 38 out of 61 narcissus samples tested (62.3%); the results were confirmed by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction using universal NIb primers, and for thirty samples, by sequencing and phylogenetic studies. The results suggested the infection of almost all positive samples with narcissus yellow stripe virus (NYSV); only one sample seemed to be infected with narcissus late season yellows virus (NLSYV). The 3'-end of the genome of the NLSYV isolate and six NYSV isolates, encompassing the complete coat protein gene, was amplified and sequenced using species-specific and universal potyvirus primers. Sequence analysis indicated the presence of NLSYV and NYSV, not previously identified from Western Asia. No evidence of recombination was found in Iranian isolates. Based on phylogenetic analyses, isolates of NLSYV and NYSV clustered into five and three phylogroups, respectively, where all the Iranian isolates fell into distinct subpopulations in groups NLSYV-I and NYSV-II. Multiple sequence alignments showed some phylogroup-specific amino acid substitutions for both viruses. Phylogroup IV and II populations had higher nucleotide diversities as compared with other populations of NLSYV and NYSV, respectively. Our findings revealed the presence of negative selection in the populations of both viruses. Almost no statistically significant gene flow was found between populations of these viruses.

Variation Profile of the Orthotospovirus Genome. Pathogens 2020; 9:pathogens9070521. [PMID: 32610472 PMCID: PMC7400459 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens9070521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Revised: 06/26/2020] [Accepted: 06/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Orthotospoviruses are plant-infecting members of the family Tospoviridae (order Bunyavirales), have a broad host range and are vectored by polyphagous thrips in a circulative-propagative manner. Because diverse hosts and vectors impose heterogeneous selection constraints on viral genomes, the evolutionary arms races between hosts and their pathogens might be manifested as selection for rapid changes in key genes. These observations suggest that orthotospoviruses contain key genetic components that rapidly mutate to mediate host adaptation and vector transmission. Using complete genome sequences, we profiled genomic variation in orthotospoviruses. Results show that the three genomic segments contain hypervariable areas at homologous locations across species. Remarkably, the highest nucleotide variation mapped to the intergenic region of RNA segments S and M, which fold into a hairpin. Secondary structure analyses showed that the hairpin is a dynamic structure with multiple functional shapes formed by stems and loops, contains sites under positive selection and covariable sites. Accumulation and tolerance of mutations in the intergenic region is a general feature of orthotospoviruses and might mediate adaptation to host plants and insect vectors.

Abstract
Temperatures from 2 to 8°C transiently induce quantitative resistance to powdery mildew in several host species (cold stress-induced disease resistance [SIDR]). Although cold SIDR events occur in vineyards worldwide an average of 14 to 21 times after budbreak of grapevine and can significantly delay grapevine powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) epidemics, its molecular basis was poorly understood. We characterized the biology underlying the Vitis vinifera cold SIDR phenotype-which peaks at 24 h post-cold (hpc) treatment and results in a 22 to 28% reduction in spore penetration success-through highly replicated (n = 8 to 10) RNA sequencing experiments. This phenotype was accompanied by a sweeping transcriptional downregulation of photosynthesis-associated pathways whereas starch and sugar metabolism pathways remained largely unaffected, suggesting a transient imbalance in host metabolism and a suboptimal target for pathogen establishment. Twenty-six cold-responsive genes peaked in their differential expression at the 24-hpc time point. Finally, a subset of genes associated with nutrient and amino acid transport accounted for four of the eight most downregulated transcripts, including two nodulin 1A gene precursors, a nodulin MtN21 precursor, and a Dynein light chain 1 motor protein precursor. Reduced transport could exacerbate localized nutrient sinks that would again be transiently suboptimal for pathogen growth. This study links the transient cold SIDR phenotype to underlying transcriptional changes and provides an experimental framework and library of candidate genes to further explore cold SIDR in several systems, with an ultimate goal of identifying novel breeding or management targets for reduced disease.

THE PLANT PATHOLOGY JOURNAL 2020; 36:87-97. [PMID: 32089664 PMCID: PMC7012578 DOI: 10.5423/ppj.oa.10.2019.0268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Revised: 12/23/2019] [Accepted: 12/23/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The development of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers against conserved regions of most potyviral genomes enabled sampling of the potyvirome. However, these assays usually involve sampling potential host plants, but identifying infected plants when they are asymptomatic is challenging, and many plants, especially wild ones, contain inhibitors to DNA amplification. We used an alternative approach which utilized aphid vectors and indicator plants to identify potyviruses capable of infecting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Aphids were collected from a range of asymptomatic leguminous weeds and trees in Iran, and transferred to bean seedlings under controlled conditions. Bean plants were tested serologically for potyvirus infections four-weeks post-inoculation. The serological assay and symptomatology together indicated the presence of one potyvirus, and symptomology alone implied the presence of an unidentified virus. The partial genome of the potyvirus, encompassing the complete coat protein gene, was amplified using generic potyvirus primers. Sequence analysis of the amplicon confirmed the presence of an isolate of Wisteria vein mosaic virus (WVMV), a virus species not previously identified from Western Asia. Phylogenetic analyses of available WVMV sequences categorized them into five groups: East Asian-1 to 3, North American and World. The Iranian isolate clustered with those in the World group. Multiple sequence alignment indicated the presence of some genogroup-specific amino acid substitutions among the isolates studied. Chinese isolates were sister groups of other isolates and showed higher nucleotide distances as compared with the others, suggesting a possible Eastern-Asian origin of WVMV, the main region where Wisteria might have originated.
