Abstract
Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) is one of the major pathogens of sugarcane in the world. Molecular studies and disease management of SCSMV are hindered by the lack of efficient infectious clones. In this study, we successfully constructed Agrobacterium infiltration based infectious clone of SCSMV with different variants. Infectious clones of wild type SCSMV could efficiently infect Nicotiana benthamiana and sugarcane plants resulting in streak and mosaic symptoms on systemic leaves which were further confirmed with RT-PCR and serological assays. SCSMV variants of less adenylation displayed attenuated pathogenicity on N.benthamiana. SCSMV-based recombinant heterologous EGFP protein vector was also developed. The EGFP-tagged recombinant SCSMV could highly expressed in vegetative organs including roots. These infectious clones of SCSMV could be further developed for platform tools for both biotechnological studies and management of SCSMV disease.

Abstract
Orthotospoviruses, a genera of negative-sense ssRNA viruses transmitted by thrips, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their detrimental impact on diverse crops, causing substantial economic losses and posing threats to food security. Orthotospoviruses are characterised by a wide range of symptoms in plants, including chlorotic/necrotic spots, vein banding, and fruit deformation. Seven species, including four definite and three tentative species in the genus Orthotospovirus, have so far been documented on the crops of the Indian subcontinent. Management of Orthotospoviruses under field conditions is challenging since they have a wide host range, adaptation to versatile environmental conditions, a lack of promising resistance sources, and the ubiquitous nature of thrips and their transmission through a propagative manner. Our present review elucidates the significance, molecular biology and evolutionary relationship of Orthotospoviruses; vector population; and possible management strategies for Orthotospoviruses and their vectors in the scenario of the Indian subcontinent.

Absence of Seed-Mediated Transmission of Cucumber Mosaic Virus in Espelette Pepper Crops despite Widespread and Recurrent Epidemics. Viruses 2023; 15:2159. [PMID: 38005837 PMCID: PMC10674872 DOI: 10.3390/v15112159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
In the past decade, severe epidemics of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) have caused significant damage to Espelette pepper crops. This virus threatens the production of Espelette pepper, which plays a significant role in the local economy and touristic attractiveness of the French Basque Country, located in southwestern France. In 2021 and 2022, CMV was detected via double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (DAS-ELISAs) in Gorria pepper seed lots harvested from naturally infected fields scattered throughout the entire Espelette pepper production area. These seed lots were used in greenhouse grow-out tests to determine whether CMV could be transmitted to seedlings from contaminated seeds, using visual symptom assessment, DAS-ELISAs, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Despite the widespread occurrence of CMV in seeds of field samples, the grow-out experiments on a total of over 5000 seedlings yielded no evidence of seed transmission of local CMV isolates in Gorria pepper. Therefore, rather than seeds from infected pepper plants, sources of CMV inoculum in Espelette are more likely to be alternative hosts present in and around pepper fields that can allow for the survival of CMV during the off-season. These results have important epidemiological implications and will guide the choice of effective measures to control current epidemics.

Abstract
Plant viruses are the main pathogens which cause significant quality and yield losses in tomato crops. The important viruses that infect tomatoes worldwide belong to five genera: Begomovirus, Orthotospovirus, Tobamovirus, Potyvirus, and Crinivirus. Tomato resistance genes against viruses, including Ty gene resistance against begomoviruses, Sw gene resistance against orthotospoviruses, Tm gene resistance against tobamoviruses, and Pot 1 gene resistance against potyviruses, have been identified from wild germplasm and introduced into cultivated cultivars via hybrid breeding. However, these resistance genes mainly exhibit qualitative resistance mediated by single genes, which cannot protect against virus mutations, recombination, mixed-infection, or emerging viruses, thus posing a great challenge to tomato antiviral breeding. Based on the epidemic characteristics of tomato viruses, we propose that future studies on tomato virus resistance breeding should focus on rapidly, safely, and efficiently creating broad-spectrum germplasm materials resistant to multiple viruses. Accordingly, we summarized and analyzed the advantages and characteristics of the three tomato antiviral breeding strategies, including marker-assisted selection (MAS)-based hybrid breeding, RNA interference (RNAi)-based transgenic breeding, and CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing. Finally, we highlighted the challenges and provided suggestions for improving tomato antiviral breeding in the future using the three breeding strategies.

Wu X, Zhang X, Wang H, Fang RX, Ye J. Structure-function analyses of coiled-coil immune receptors define a hydrophobic module for improving plant virus resistance. JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY 2023; 74:1372-1388. [PMID: 36472617 PMCID: PMC10010612 DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erac477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Plant immunity relies on nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) that detect microbial patterns released by pathogens, and activate localized cell death to prevent the spread of pathogens. Tsw is the only identified resistance (R) gene encoding an NLR, conferring resistance to tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) in pepper species (Capsicum, Solanaceae). However, molecular and cellular mechanisms of Tsw-mediated resistance are still elusive. Here, we analysed the structural and cellular functional features of Tsw protein, and defined a hydrophobic module to improve NLR-mediated virus resistance. The plasma membrane associated N-terminal 137 amino acid in the coiled-coil (CC) domain of Tsw is the minimum fragment sufficient to trigger cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana plants. Transient and transgenic expression assays in plants indicated that the amino acids of the hydrophobic groove (134th-137th amino acid) in the CC domain is critical for its full function and can be modified for enhanced disease resistance. Based on the structural features of Tsw, a super-hydrophobic funnel-like mutant, TswY137W, was identified to confer higher resistance to TSWV in a SGT1 (Suppressor of G-two allele of Skp1)-dependent manner. The same point mutation in a tomato Tsw-like NLR protein also improved resistance to pathogens, suggesting a feasible way of structure-assisted improvement of NLRs.
