Diversity of the Ry sto gene conferring resistance to potato virus Y in wild relatives of potato. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 24:375. [PMID: 38714928 PMCID: PMC11077776 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-024-05089-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Potato virus Y (PVY) is among the economically most damaging viral pathogen in production of potato (Solanum tuberosum) worldwide. The gene Rysto derived from the wild potato relative Solanum stoloniferum confers extreme resistance to PVY. RESULTS The presence and diversity of Rysto were investigated in wild relatives of potato (298 genotypes representing 29 accessions of 26 tuber-bearing Solanum species) using PacBio amplicon sequencing. A total of 55 unique Rysto-like sequences were identified in 72 genotypes representing 12 accessions of 10 Solanum species and six resistant controls (potato cultivars Alicja, Bzura, Hinga, Nimfy, White Lady and breeding line PW363). The 55 Rysto-like sequences showed 89.87 to 99.98% nucleotide identity to the Rysto reference gene, and these encoded in total 45 unique protein sequences. While Rysto-like26 identified in Alicja, Bzura, White Lady and Rysto-like16 in PW363 encode a protein identical to the Rysto reference, the remaining 44 predicted Rysto-like proteins were 65.93 to 99.92% identical to the reference. Higher levels of diversity of the Rysto-like sequences were found in the wild relatives of potato than in the resistant control cultivars. The TIR and NB-ARC domains were the most conserved within the Rysto-like proteins, while the LRR and C-JID domains were more variable. Several Solanum species, including S. antipoviczii and S. hougasii, showed resistance to PVY. This study demonstrated Hyoscyamus niger, a Solanaceae species distantly related to Solanum, as a host of PVY. CONCLUSIONS The new Rysto-like variants and the identified PVY resistant potato genotypes are potential resistance sources against PVY in potato breeding. Identification of H. niger as a host for PVY is important for cultivation of this plant, studies on the PVY management, its ecology, and migrations. The amplicon sequencing based on PacBio SMRT and the following data analysis pipeline described in our work may be applied to obtain the nucleotide sequences and analyze any full-length genes from any, even polyploid, organisms.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most important pathogens in the genus Potyvirus that seriously harms agricultural production. Copper (Cu), as a micronutrient, is closely related to plant immune response. In this study, we found that foliar application of Cu could inhibit PVY infection to some extent, especially at 7 days post inoculation (dpi). To explore the effect of Cu on PVY infection, transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed on PVY-infected tobacco with or without Cu application. Several key pathways regulated by Cu were identified, including plant-pathogen interaction, inorganic ion transport and metabolism, and photosynthesis. Moreover, the results of virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) assays revealed that NbMLP423, NbPIP2, NbFd and NbEXPA played positive roles in resistance to PVY infection in Nicotiana benthamiana. In addition, transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing NtEXPA11 showed increased resistance to PVY infection. These results contribute to clarify the role and regulatory mechanism of Cu against PVY infection, and provide candidate genes for disease resistance breeding.

Unveiling the Genetic Tapestry: Exploring Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 Anastomosis Groups in Potato Crops across Borders. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:715. [PMID: 38475561 DOI: 10.3390/plants13050715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
The current study was carried out to screen 10 isolates (ARS-01-ARS-10) of Rhizoctonia. solani from potato tubers cv. Kuroda, which were collected from various potato fields in Multan, Pakistan. The isolates were found to be morphologically identical, as the hyphae exhibit the production of branches at right angles and acute angles often accompanied by septum near the emerging branches. Anastomosis grouping showed that these isolates belonged to AG-3. A pathogenicity test was performed against the susceptible Kuroda variety and among the isolates, ARS-05 exhibited the highest mean severity score of approximately 5.43, followed by ARS-09, which showed a mean severity score of about 3.67, indicating a moderate level of severity. On the lower end of the severity scale, isolates ARS-06 and ARS-07 displayed mean severity scores of approximately 0.53 and 0.57, respectively, suggesting minimal symptom severity. These mean severity scores offer insights into the varying degrees of symptom expression among the different isolates of R. solani under examination. PCoA indicates that the severe isolate causing black scurf on the Kuroda variety was AG-3. A comprehensive analysis of the distribution, genetic variability, and phylogenetic relationships of R. solani anastomosis groups (AGs) related to potato crops across diverse geographic regions was also performed to examine AG prevalence in various countries. AG-3 was identified as the most widespread group, prevalent in Sweden, China, and the USA. AG-5 showed prominence in Sweden and the USA, while AG-2-1 exhibited prevalence in China and Japan. The phylogenetic analysis unveiled two different clades: Clade I comprising AG-3 and Clade II encompassing AG-2, AG-4, and AG-5, further subdivided into three subclades. Although AGs clustered together regardless of origin, their genetic diversity revealed complex evolutionary patterns. The findings pave the way for region-specific disease management strategies to combat R. solani's impact on potato crops.

Abstract
The exponentially increasing population and the demand for food is inextricably linked. This has shifted global attention to improving crop plant traits to meet global food demands. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a major non-grain food crop that is grown all over the world. Currently, some of the major global potato research work focuses on the significance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in potato. miRNAs are a type of non-coding RNAs that regulate the gene expression of their target mRNA genes by cleavage and/or their translational inhibition. This suggests an essential role of miRNAs in a multitude of plant biological processes, including maintenance of genome integrity, plant growth, development and maturation, and initiation of responses to various stress conditions. Therefore, engineering miRNAs to generate stress-resistant varieties of potato may result in high yield and improved nutritional qualities. In this review, we discuss the potato miRNAs specifically known to play an essential role in the various stages of the potato life cycle, conferring stress-resistant characteristics, and modifying gene expression. This review highlights the significance of the miRNA machinery in plants, especially potato, encouraging further research into engineering miRNAs to boost crop yields and tolerance towards stress.

Abstract
Potato virus Y, an important viral pathogen of potato, has several genetic variants and geographic distributions which could be affected by environmental factors, aphid vectors, and reservoir plants. PVY is transmitted to virus-free potato plants by aphids and passed on to the next vegetative generations through tubers, but the effects of tuber transmission in PVY is largely unknown. By using high-throughput sequencing, we investigated PVY populations transmitted to potato plants by aphids in different climate zones of Russia, namely the Moscow and Astrakhan regions. We analyzed sprouts from the tubers produced by field-infected plants to investigate the impact of tuber transmission on PVY genetics. We found a significantly higher diversity of PVY isolates in the Astrakhan region, where winters are shorter and milder and summers are warmer compared to the Moscow region. While five PVY types, NTNa, NTNb, N:O, N-Wi, and SYR-I, were present in both regions, SYRI-II, SYRI-III, and 261-4 were only found in the Astrakhan region. All these recombinants were composed of the genome sections derived from PVY types O and N, but no full-length sequences of such types were present. The composition of the PVY variants in the tuber sprouts was not always the same as in their parental plants, suggesting that tuber transmission impacts PVY genetics.

Abstract
This is the first report on identification of the most suitable reference genes for RT-qPCR quantification of miRNA and mRNA in tobacco response to the prevalent recombinant potato virus Y (PVY) strains PVYNTN, PVYN-Wi and the newly identified PVYZ-NTN. Of 10 tested genes, the expression levels of neIF5C, nU2af and nPP2A were the most stable in samples taken from non-inoculated, mock-inoculated, and infected plants at three days post-inoculation (dpi) and 14 dpi. While the homologues of eIF5 were most stably expressed in tobacco in this study and in potato in our previous study (Yin et al., 2021) following inoculation with the same three PVY strains, the homologues of other two genes PP2A and U2af were stably expressed only in tobacco but unstable in potato. The tobacco homologue of PP2A, which was the most stably expressed one in tobacco interaction with PVYNTN, PVYN-Wi and PVYZ-NTN strains in this study, was the least stable one in tobacco interaction with the non-recombinant PVYO strain in a previous study (Baek et al., 2017). This study provides evidence on the influence of host species on expression of housekeeping genes and points out virus strain as a new factor influencing expression stability of reference gene. Caution should be taken when choosing reference genes in gene expression study in Solanaceae hosts response to different PVY strains.

Abstract
Research on aquatic plant viruses is lagging behind that of their terrestrial counterparts. To address this knowledge gap, here we identified viruses associated with freshwater macrophytes, a taxonomically diverse group of aquatic phototrophs that are visible with the naked eye. We surveyed pooled macrophyte samples collected at four spring sites in Florida, USA through next generation sequencing of RNA extracted from purified viral particles. Sequencing efforts resulted in the detection of 156 freshwater macrophyte associated (FMA) viral contigs, 37 of which approximate complete genomes or segments. FMA viral contigs represent putative members from all five major phyla of the RNA viral kingdom Orthornavirae. Similar to viral types found in land plants, viral sequences identified in macrophytes were dominated by positive-sense RNA viruses. Over half of the FMA viral contigs were most similar to viruses reported from diverse hosts in aquatic environments, including phototrophs, invertebrates, and fungi. The detection of FMA viruses from orders dominated by plant viruses, namely Patatavirales and Tymovirales, indicate that members of these orders may thrive in aquatic hosts. PCR assays confirmed the presence of putative FMA plant viruses in asymptomatic vascular plants, indicating that viruses with persistent lifestyles are widespread in macrophytes. The detection of potato virus Y and oat blue dwarf virus in submerged macrophytes suggests that terrestrial plant viruses infect underwater plants and highlights a potential terrestrial-freshwater plant virus continuum. Defining the virome of unexplored macrophytes will improve our understanding of virus evolution in terrestrial and aquatic primary producers and reveal the potential ecological impacts of viral infection in macrophytes.

Phloem connectivity and transport are not involved in mature plant resistance (MPR) to Potato Virus Y in different potato cultivars, and MPR does not protect tubers from recombinant strains of the virus. JOURNAL OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2022; 275:153729.

Abstract
The aims of this study were: i) to investigate mature plant resistance (MPR) against four strains of Potato virus Y (PVYO, PVYN, PVYNTN and PVYN-Wi) in potato cultivars that differ in maturity (e.g. early or maincrop) at different developmental stages, and ii) to determine whether phloem translocation of photoassimilates at different stages including the source-sink transition influences MPR. The data showed that MPR was functional by the flowering stage in all cultivars, and that the host-pathogen interaction is highly complex, with all three variables (potato cultivar, virus strain and developmental stage of infection) having a significant effect on the outcome. However, virus strain was the most important factor, and MPR was less effective in protecting tubers from recombinant virus strains (PVYNTN and PVYN-Wi). Development of MPR was unrelated to foliar phloem connectivity, which was observed at all developmental stages, but a switch from symplastic to apoplastic phloem unloading early in tuber development may be involved in the prevention of tuber infections with PVYO. Recombinant virus strains were more infectious than parental strains and PVYNTN has a more effective silencing suppressor than PVYO, another factor that may contribute to the efficiency of MPR. The resistance conferred by MPR against PVYO or PVYN may be associated with or enhanced by the presence of the corresponding strain-specific HR resistance gene in the cultivar.

[PMID: 35887257 PMCID: PMC9317112 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23147915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work we developed and exploited a spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS)-based approach to deliver double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which was found to protect potato against potato virus Y (PVY) infection. Given that dsRNA can act as a defence-inducing signal that can trigger sequence-specific RNA interference (RNAi) and non-specific pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), we suspected that these two pathways may be invoked via exogeneous application of dsRNA, which may account for the alterations in PVY susceptibility in dsRNA-treated potato plants. Therefore, we tested the impact of exogenously applied PVY-derived dsRNA on both these layers of defence (RNAi and PTI) and explored its effect on accumulation of a homologous virus (PVY) and an unrelated virus (potato virus X, PVX). Here, we show that application of PVY dsRNA in potato plants induced accumulation of both small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), a hallmark of RNAi, and some PTI-related gene transcripts such as WRKY29 (WRKY transcription factor 29; molecular marker of PTI), RbohD (respiratory burst oxidase homolog D), EDS5 (enhanced disease susceptibility 5), SERK3 (somatic embryogenesis receptor kinase 3) encoding brassinosteroid-insensitive 1-associated receptor kinase 1 (BAK1), and PR-1b (pathogenesis-related gene 1b). With respect to virus infections, PVY dsRNA suppressed only PVY replication but did not exhibit any effect on PVX infection in spite of the induction of PTI-like effects in the presence of PVX. Given that RNAi-mediated antiviral immunity acts as the major virus resistance mechanism in plants, it can be suggested that dsRNA-based PTI alone may not be strong enough to suppress virus infection. In addition to RNAi- and PTI-inducing activities, we also showed that PVY-specific dsRNA is able to upregulate production of a key enzyme involved in poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism, namely poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), which is regarded as a positive regulator of biotic stress responses. These findings offer insights for future development of innovative approaches which could integrate dsRNA-induced RNAi, PTI and modulation of poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism in a co-ordinated manner, to ensure a high level of crop protection.

Survey of Viruses Infecting Tomato, Cucumber and Mung Bean in Tajikistan. HORTICULTURAE 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/horticulturae8060505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Viral diseases are major constraints to tomato, cucumber and mung bean production in most areas where these crops are grown. To identify the viruses on the crops in Tajikistan, a field survey was conducted in 2019. Samples of cucumber, mung bean and tomato with virus-like symptoms were collected and the viruses present were diagnosed by RT-PCR and PCR. Across all the samples, a very high proportion of the samples were infected with viruses from the genera Cucumovirus and Potyvirus. Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV; Cucumovirus) was very common in the collected samples of the three crops. As for Potyvirus, Potato virus Y (PVY) was detected in the collected tomato samples, Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) was identified in the collected cucumber samples, and Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) was detected in 53% of the mung bean samples. Over 68% of the collected samples were infected with two or more viruses, suggesting that mixed infections are common for the three crops. Due to the results that the most identified viruses for the three crops are transmitted by aphids, the management of aphids is extremely important for the production of tomato, cucumber and mung bean in Tajikistan.

Abstract
Viral disease in potatoes has been a major problem in potato production worldwide. In addition to the potential risk of introducing new diseases in new areas, viral-disease epidemics/pandemics can be initiated by “spillover” of indigenous viruses from infected alternative hosts into introduced cultivars. To investigate the tendency of potential viral infection/resistance, we analyzed the viromes of introduced and indigenous varieties of potatoes among different tissues using RNA-seq libraries. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that potato viruses PVM, PVY, and PVS were dominant and the most frequently identified viruses infecting potato virus-free plants in the field, and showed an infection bias between introduced and indigenous cultivars. PVY and PVS were the major viruses in introduced varieties, whereas PVM showed an extraordinarily high percentage in the indigenous variety. Other three common viruses, PVH, potato mop-top virus, and potato leafroll virus were identified specifically in the indigenous variety. There was a tendency for tissue-specific infection and sequence variation in viruses: underground parts (tubers, roots) harbored more unusual viruses, and tubers harbored relatively more variation with a high frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms than other tissues. Taken together, our study provides a comprehensive overview of the composition, distribution, and sequence variation of viruses between introduced and indigenous varieties of potatoes.

Transcriptome and Small RNA Profiling of Potato Virus Y Infected Potato Cultivars, Including Systemically Infected Russet Burbank. Viruses 2022; 14:v14030523.

Abstract
Potatoes are the world’s most produced non-grain crops and an important food source for billions of people. Potatoes are susceptible to numerous pathogens that reduce yield, including Potato virus Y (PVY). Genetic resistance to PVY is a sustainable way to limit yield and quality losses due to PVY infection. Potato cultivars vary in their susceptibility to PVY and include susceptible varieties such as Russet Burbank, and resistant varieties such as Payette Russet. Although the loci and genes associated with PVY-resistance have been identified, the genes and mechanisms involved in limiting PVY during the development of systemic infections have yet to be fully elucidated. To increase our understanding of PVY infection, potato antiviral responses, and resistance, we utilized RNA sequencing to characterize the transcriptomes of two potato cultivars. Since transcriptional responses associated with the extreme resistance response occur soon after PVY contact, we analyzed the transcriptome and small RNA profile of both the PVY-resistant Payette Russet cultivar and PVY-susceptible Russet Burbank cultivar 24 h post-inoculation. While hundreds of genes, including terpene synthase and protein kinase encoding genes, exhibited increased expression, the majority, including numerous genes involved in plant pathogen interactions, were downregulated. To gain greater understanding of the transcriptional changes that occur during the development of systemic PVY-infection, we analyzed Russet Burbank leaf samples one week and four weeks post-inoculation and identified similarities and differences, including higher expression of genes involved in chloroplast function, photosynthesis, and secondary metabolite production, and lower expression of defense response genes at those time points. Small RNA sequencing identified different populations of 21- and 24-nucleotide RNAs and revealed that the miRNA profiles in PVY-infected Russet Burbank plants were similar to those observed in other PVY-tolerant cultivars and that during systemic infection ~32% of the NLR-type disease resistance genes were targeted by 21-nt small RNAs. Analysis of alternative splicing in PVY-infected potato plants identified splice variants of several hundred genes, including isoforms that were more dominant in PVY-infected plants. The description of the PVYN-Wi-associated transcriptome and small RNA profiles of two potato cultivars described herein adds to the body of knowledge regarding differential outcomes of infection for specific PVY strain and host cultivar pairs, which will help further understanding of the mechanisms governing genetic resistance and/or virus-limiting responses in potato plants.

Abstract
Plant-virus interactions are greatly influenced by environmental factors such as temperatures. In virus-infected plants, enhanced temperature is frequently associated with more severe symptoms and higher virus content. However, the mechanisms involved in controlling the temperature regulation of plant-virus interactions are poorly characterised. To elucidate these further, we analysed the responses of potato plants cv Chicago to infection by potato virus Y (PVY) at normal (22 °C) and elevated temperature (28 °C), the latter of which is known to significantly increase plant susceptibility to PVY. Using RNAseq analysis, we showed that single and combined PVY and heat-stress treatments caused dramatic changes in gene expression, affecting the transcription of both protein-coding and non-coding RNAs. Among the newly identified genes responsive to PVY infection, we found genes encoding enzymes involved in the catalysis of polyamine formation and poly ADP-ribosylation. We also identified a range of novel non-coding RNAs which were differentially produced in response to single or combined PVY and heat stress, that consisted of antisense RNAs and RNAs with miRNA binding sites. Finally, to gain more insights into the potential role of alternative splicing and epitranscriptomic RNA methylation during combined stress conditions, direct RNA nanopore sequencing was performed. Our findings offer insights for future studies of functional links between virus infections and transcriptome reprogramming, RNA methylation and alternative splicing.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) disrupts healthy seed potato production and causes tuber yield and quality losses globally. Its subdivisions consist of strain groups defined by potato hypersensitive resistance (HR) genes and whether necrosis occurs in tobacco, and phylogroups defined by sequencing. When PVY isolate PP was inoculated to potato cultivar differentials with HR genes, the HR phenotype pattern obtained resembled that caused by strain group PVYD isolate KIP1. A complete genome of isolate PP was obtained by high-throughput sequencing. After removal of its short terminal recombinant segment, it was subjected to phylogenetic analysis together with 30 complete nonrecombinant PVY genomes. It fitted within the same minor phylogroup PVYO3 subclade as KIP1. Putative HR gene Nd was proposed previously to explain the unique HR phenotype pattern that developed when differential cultivars were inoculated with PVYD. However, an alternative explanation was that PVYD elicits HR with HR genes Nc and Ny instead. To establish which gene(s) it elicits, isolates KIP1 and PP were inoculated to F1 potato seedlings from (i) crossing 'Kipfler' and 'White Rose' with 'Ruby Lou' and (ii) self-pollinated 'Desiree' and 'Ruby Lou', where 'Kipfler' is susceptible (S) but 'White Rose', 'Desiree', and 'Ruby Lou' develop HR. With both isolates, the HR:S segregation ratios obtained fitted 5:1 for 'Kipfler' × 'Ruby Lou', 11:1 for 'White Rose' × 'Ruby Lou', and 3:1 for 'Desiree'. Those for 'Ruby Lou' were 68:1 (isolate PP) and 52:0 (isolate KIP1). Because potato is tetraploid, these ratios suggest PVYD elicits HR with Ny from 'Ruby Lou' (duplex condition) and 'Desiree' (simplex condition) and Nc from 'White Rose' (simplex condition) but provide no evidence that Nd exists. Therefore, our differential cultivar inoculations and inheritance studies highlight that PVYD isolates elicit an HR phenotype in potato cultivars with either of two HR genes Nc or Ny, so putative gene Nd can be discounted. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis placed isolate PP within the same minor phylogroup PVYO3 subclade as KIP1, which constitutes the most basal divergence within overall major phylogroup PVYO.

Abstract
New breeding technologies have not only revolutionized biological science, but have also been employed to generate transgene-free products. Genome editing is a powerful technology that has been used to modify genomes of several important crops. This review describes the basic mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages of genome editing systems, such as ZFNs, TALENs, and CRISPR/Cas. Secondly, we summarize in detail all studies of the CRISPR/Cas system applied to potato and other tuber crops, such as sweet potato, cassava, yam, and carrot. Genes associated with self-incompatibility, abiotic-biotic resistance, nutrient-antinutrient content, and post-harvest factors targeted utilizing the CRISPR/Cas system are analyzed in this review. We hope that this review provides fundamental information that will be useful for future breeding of tuber crops to develop novel cultivars.

Abstract
Potato virus A (PVA), a member of the genus Potyvirus, is an important potato pathogen that causes 30%-40% yield reduction to global potato production. Knowledge on the genetic structure and the evolutionary forces shaping the structure of this pathogen is limited but vital in developing effective management strategies. In this study, we investigated the population structure and molecular evolution of PVA by analyzing novel complete genomic sequences from Chinese isolates combined with available sequences from Europe, South America, Oceania, and North America. High nucleotide diversity was discovered among the populations studied. Pairwise F ST values between geographical populations of PVA ranged from 0.22 to 0.46, indicating a significant spatial structure for this pathogen. Although purifying selection was detected at the majority of polymorphic sites, significant positive selection was identified in the P1, NIa, and NIb proteins, pointing to adaptive evolution of PVA. Further phylogeny-trait association analysis showed that the clustering of PVA isolates was significantly correlated with geographic regions, suggesting that geography-driven adaptation may be an important determinant of PVA diversification.

Abstract
Plant-virus interactions are frequently influenced by elevated temperature, which often increases susceptibility to a virus, a scenario described for potato cultivar Chicago infected with potato virus Y (PVY). In contrast, other potato cultivars such as Gala may have similar resistances to PVY at both normal (22 °C) and high (28 °C) temperatures. To elucidate the mechanisms of temperature-independent antivirus resistance in potato, we analysed responses of Gala plants to PVY at different temperatures using proteomic, transcriptional and metabolic approaches. Here we show that in Gala, PVY infection generally upregulates the accumulation of major enzymes associated with the methionine cycle (MTC) independently of temperature, but that temperature (22 °C or 28 °C) may finely regulate what classes accumulate. The different sets of MTC-related enzymes that are up-regulated at 22 °C or 28 °C likely account for the significantly increased accumulation of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), a key component of MTC which acts as a universal methyl donor in methylation reactions. In contrast to this, we found that in cultivar Chicago, SAM levels were significantly reduced which correlated with the enhanced susceptibility to PVY at high temperature. Collectively, these data suggest that MTC and its major transmethylation function determines resistance or susceptibility to PVY.

Abstract
The world's staple food crops, and other food crops that optimize human nutrition, suffer from global virus disease pandemics and epidemics that greatly diminish their yields and/or produce quality. This situation is becoming increasingly serious because of the human population's growing food requirements and increasing difficulties in managing virus diseases effectively arising from global warming. This review provides historical and recent information about virus disease pandemics and major epidemics that originated within different world regions, spread to other continents, and now have very wide distributions. Because they threaten food security, all are cause for considerable concern for humanity. The pandemic disease examples described are six (maize lethal necrosis, rice tungro, sweet potato virus, banana bunchy top, citrus tristeza, plum pox). The major epidemic disease examples described are seven (wheat yellow dwarf, wheat streak mosaic, potato tuber necrotic ringspot, faba bean necrotic yellows, pepino mosaic, tomato brown rugose fruit, and cucumber green mottle mosaic). Most examples involve long-distance virus dispersal, albeit inadvertent, by international trade in seed or planting material. With every example, the factors responsible for its development, geographical distribution and global importance are explained. Finally, an overall explanation is given of how to manage global virus disease pandemics and epidemics effectively.
