Identification of novel 4-substituted 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives as new FtsZ inhibitors: Bioactivity evaluation and computational simulation. Bioorg Chem 2024; 150:107534. [PMID: 38896935 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial infections and the consequent outburst of bactericide-resistance issues are fatal menace to both global health and agricultural produce. Hence, it is crucial to explore candidate bactericides with new mechanisms of action. The filamenting temperature-sensitive mutant Z (FtsZ) protein has been recognized as a new promising and effective target for new bactericide discovery. Hence, using a scaffold-hopping strategy, we designed new 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, evaluated their antibacterial activities, and investigated their structure-activity relationships. Among them, compound B6 exhibited the optimal in vitro bioactivity (EC50 = 4.65 µg/mL) against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), which was superior to the references (bismerthiazol [BT], EC50 = 48.67 µg/mL; thiodiazole copper [TC], EC50 = 98.57 µg/mL]. Furthermore, the potency of compound B6 in targeting FtsZ was validated by GTPase activity assay, FtsZ self-assembly observation, fluorescence titration, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) assay, molecular dynamics simulations, and morphological observation. The GTPase activity assay showed that the final IC50 value of compound B6 against XooFtsZ was 235.0 μM. Interestingly, the GTPase activity results indicated that the B6-XooFtsZ complex has an excellent binding constant (KA = 103.24 M-1). Overall, the antibacterial behavior suggests that B6 can interact with XooFtsZ and inhibit its GTPase activity, leading to bacterial cell elongation and even death. In addition, compound B6 showed acceptable anti-Xoo activity in vivo and low toxicity, and also demonstrated a favorable pharmacokinetic profile predicted by ADMET analysis. Our findings provide new chemotypes for the development of FtsZ inhibitors as well as insights into their underlying mechanisms of action.

Abstract
The tobacco mosaic virus coat protein (TMV-CP) is indispensable for the virus's replication, movement and transmission, as well as for the host plant's immune system to recognize it. It constitutes the outermost layer of the virus particle, and serves as an essential component of the virus structure. TMV-CP is essential for initiating and extending viral assembly, playing a crucial role in the self-assembly process of Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV). This research employed TMV-CP as a primary target for virtual screening, from which a library of 43,417 compounds was sourced and SH-05 was chosen as the lead compound. Consequently, a series of α-amide phosphate derivatives were designed and synthesized, exhibiting remarkable anti-TMV efficacy. The synthesized compounds were found to be beneficial in treating TMV, with compound 3g displaying a slightly better curative effect than Ningnanmycin (NNM) (EC50 = 304.54 µg/mL) at an EC50 of 291.9 µg/mL. Additionally, 3g exhibited comparable inactivation activity (EC50 = 63.2 µg/mL) to NNM (EC50 = 67.5 µg/mL) and similar protective activity (EC50 = 228.9 µg/mL) to NNM (EC50 = 219.7 µg/mL). Microscale thermal analysis revealed that the binding of 3g (Kd = 4.5 ± 1.9 µM) to TMV-CP showed the same level with NNM (Kd = 5.5 ± 2.6 µM). Results from transmission electron microscopy indicated that 3g could disrupt the structure of TMV virus particles. The toxicity prediction indicated that 3g was low toxicity. Molecular docking showed that 3g interacted with TMV-CP through hydrogen bond, attractive charge interaction and π-Cation interaction. This research provided a novel α-amide phosphate structure target TMV-CP, which may help the discovery of new anti-TMV agents in the future.

Abstract
Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) is one of the most damaging rice viruses. The virus decreases rice quality and yield, and poses a serious threat to food security. From this perspective, this review performed a survey of published studies in recent years to understand the current status of SRBSDV and white-backed planthopper (WBPH, Sogatella furcifera) transmission processes in rice. Recent studies have shown that the interactions between viral virulence proteins and rice susceptibility factors shape the transmission of SRBSDV. Moreover, the transmission of SRBSDV is influenced by the interactions between viral virulence proteins and S. furcifera susceptibility factors. This review focused on the molecular mechanisms of key genes or proteins associated with SRBSDV infection in rice via the S. furcifera vector, and the host defense response mechanisms against viral infection. A sustainable control strategy using RNAi was summarized to address this pest. Finally, we also present a model for screening anti-SRBSDV inhibitors using viral proteins as targets. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The Tobamovirus helicase plays an important role in virus proliferation and host interaction. They can also be targets for antiviral drugs. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is well controlled by ningnanmycin (NNM), but whether it acts on other virus helicases of Tobamovirus virus is not clear. In this study, we expressed and purified several Tobamovirus virus helicase proteins and analyzed the three-dimensional structures of several Tobamovirus virus helicases. In addition, the binding of Tobamovirus helicase to NNM was also studied. The docking study reveals the interaction between NNM and Tobamovirus virus helicase. Microscale Thermophoresis (MST) experiments have shown that NNM binds to Tobamovirus helicase with a dissociation constant of 4.64-12.63 μM. Therefore, these data are of great significance for the design and synthesis of new effective anti-plant virus drugs.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b protein plays a key role in the process of CMV infecting plants and symptom formation and is a potential molecular target for the control of this important plant virus. The exploitation of antiviral compounds is one of the strategies with the highest input: output ratio in plant protection. In this study, the CMV 2b recombinant protein was cloned, purified, and identified as the target protein by mass spectrometry. Subsequently, we carried out preliminary functional screening of the LP series of myricetin derivatives designed and synthesized in our laboratory and commercial antiviral compounds by microscale thermophoresis (MST), which showed that LP compounds LP4, LP11, LP13, and LP20 interacted well with CMV 2b, with dissociation constant (Kd) values of 1.39, 0.88, 1.52, and 1.77 μM, respectively. Among the commercially available antiviral compounds, ningnanmycin (NNM) was the most active, with a Kd value of 4.09 μM. Then, the strongest binding force to CMV 2b was identified to be from LP11 by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments, with a Kd of 1.19 μM. Among the commercial compounds, NNM had the strongest binding force with CMV 2b, with a Kd of 4.62 μM. Through the screening of commercial compounds and LP series compounds by MST and ITC, LP11, NNM (positive control), LP16 (negative control), and the blank control group were selected to test the in vivo impact of LP11 on CMV. Specifically, the screened compounds were sprayed onto CMV-inoculated Nicotiana benthamiana plants to determine their impact on the regulation of CMV pathogenic gene expression, symptoms, and virus titer. The results showed that LP11 had a strong ability to inhibit CMV infection of tobacco at the transcriptional and translational levels. By mutating the CMV 2b protein, the 15th amino acid leucine and the 18th amino acid methionine at the N-terminal region were shown to be potential sites for binding to compound LP11. This finding provided a theoretical basis for screening and developing anti-CMV agents.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23169119.

Abstract
The emergence of phytopathogenic bacteria resistant to antibacterial agents has rendered previously manageable plant diseases intractable, highlighting the need for safe and environmentally responsible agrochemicals. Inhibition of bacterial cell division by targeting bacterial cell division protein FtsZ has been proposed as a promising strategy for developing novel antibacterial agents. We previously identified 4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin (DMEP), a naturally occurring substance isolated from the barberry species Dysosma versipellis, as a novel chemical scaffold for the development of inhibitors of FtsZ from the rice blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). Therefore, constructing structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of DMEP is indispensable for new agrochemical discovery. In this study, we performed a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of DMEP derivatives as potential XooFtsZ inhibitors through introducing the structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) approach and various biochemical methods. Notably, prepared compound B2, a 4'-acyloxy DMEP analog, had a 50% inhibitory concentration of 159.4 µM for inhibition of recombinant XooFtsZ GTPase, which was lower than that of the parent DMEP (278.0 µM). Compound B2 potently inhibited Xoo growth in vitro (minimum inhibitory concentration 153 mg L-1) and had 54.9% and 48.4% curative and protective control efficiencies against rice blight in vivo. Moreover, compound B2 also showed low toxicity for non-target organisms, including rice plant and mammalian cell. Given these interesting results, we provide a novel strategy to discover and optimize promising bactericidal compounds for the management of plant bacterial diseases.

Abstract
Dufulin is a biologically derived antiviral agent chemically synthesized by α-phosphoramidate in sheep and is effective against viral diseases in plants such as tobacco, rice, cucumber and tomato. However, the environmental behaviors and fate of Dufulin under different cultivation systems remain unknown. This study investigates the absorption, translocation and accumulation of 14C-Dufulin stereoisomers introduced by pesticide leaf daubing and by mixing the pesticide with soil in different tissues of cherry radish. We particularly focused on whether the behaviors of Dufulin enantiomers in plants were stereoselective. In the leaf uptake experiments, S-Dufulin and R-Dufulin were transported both up and down, while more than 93% of the pesticide remained in the labeled leaves. During the radicular absorption experiments, both enantiomers of Dufulin were taken up by radish roots and moved to the upper part of the plant, while less than 0.2% Dufulin was absorbed from the soil. Hence, it was easier for Dufulin to enter plants through the leaf surface than through the roots. However, we found in this trial that the stereoisomers of Dufulin underwent nonstereoselective absorption and translocation, which implies that rac-Dufulin and its metabolites should be a major research priority. Overall, our results provide a relatively accurate prediction of the risk assessment of Dufulin, which will help guide its rational use in the environment as well as ensure eco-environmental safety and human health.

Abstract
Novel acylurea derivatives 7a-7ab were designed and synthesized by linking the active substructures trifluoromethylpyridine and anthranilic diamide via an acylurea bridge. Most of the title compounds exhibited good activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), particularly compound 7x (EC50 of 211.8 μg/mL), which showed much higher curative activity than ningnanmycin (EC50 of 389.8 μg/mL), and compound 7ab, which showed excellent inactivation activity (EC50 of 36.1 μg/mL), similar to ningnanmycin (EC50 of 23.2 μg/mL). The preliminary mechanism of these derivatives was investigated. Autodocking analysis revealed that compounds 7x and 7ab had good affinity for TMV coat protein (TMV CP), with low binding energies (-7.86 and -8.59 kcal/mol) comparable to ningnanmycin (-8.75 kcal/mol). Molecular dynamics simulation showed that compound 7x had a stable system structure with a better binding free energy (-32.94 kcal/mol) than ningnanmycin (-25.62 kcal/mol). Microscale thermophoresis showed that compound 7x bound more strongly to TMV CP (Kd of 19.8 ± 7.3 μM) than ningnanmycin (Kd of 21.2 ± 7.3 μM). Transmission electron microscopy and self-assembly experiments demonstrated that compounds 7x and 7ab significantly obstructed the self-assembly of TMV RNA and TMV CP. This new acylurea derivative has excellent antiviral activity by targeting TMV CP and inhibiting TMV self-assembly and can be considered a candidate for antiviral applications.

Abstract
Developing a rapid and accurate strategy of sensing Dufulin is a vital challenge for risk assessment and food crops along with its spreading usage. Herein a dye-encapsulated azoterephthalate metal-organic framework (MOF)-based fluorescent sensing system was designed for Dufulin analysis by acid phosphatase (ACP) enzyme-controlled collapse of MOF framework and subsequent release of the encapsulated dye. The fluorescence intensity of the DMOF/AAP/ACP system was negatively related to the dosage of Dufulin (0-5 μg mL-1) with detection limit of 2.96 ng mL-1. The sensing system able to rapidly and sensitively sense the activity of ACP and Dufulin, and was also applicable for assessment of the real samples including paddy water and soil, polished rice and cucumber. Accordingly, this study illustrated the feasibility and the potential of MOF-derived nanosensors for improving pesticide analysis and opening up the design of the enzyme-based probes for pesticide sensing in environmental assessment and food safety.

Abstract
A series of novel 1-phenyl-5-amine-4-pyrazole thioether derivatives containing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety was designed and synthesised. In vivo antiviral bioassay results showed that most of the target compounds exhibited excellent inactivation activity against Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The EC50 values of the inactivation activities for T2, T7, T9, T24, T25 and T27 were 15.7, 15.7, 15.5, 11.9, 12.5 and 16.5 μg/mL, respectively, which were remarkably superior over that of the commercialised antiviral agent ningnanmycin (40.3 μg/mL). Morphological study using AFM and TEM of TMV treated with T24 showed that T24 could significantly shorten the polymerization length of TMV particles and formed a distinct break on the rod-shaped TMV. Investigations for virus infection efficiency on tobacco leaves demonstrated that infectivity of virion had been reduced obviously upon T24 treatment. Subsequently, a strong interaction between T24 and TMV-CP (Kd = 3.8 μM, score 6.11) was observed through MST experiments. Molecular docking study further revealed that target compounds interact with amino acid residue Glu50 in TMV CP, causing disassembly of virion, shorting the length of the virion and reducing the infectivity of virion, and resulting in high inactivating activity of target compounds. This study provides a new insight for discovery of antiviral compounds through a new action mechanism with a new binding site.

Abstract
The southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) is a severe threat to the yield and quality of rice products worldwide. Traditional detection methods for diagnosing SRBSDV infection show several false positives and thus provide inaccurate findings. However, Western blotting (WB) can precisely solve this problem. In this study, P6—a viral RNA-silencing suppressor—was expressed and purified in vitro. Two polyclonal P6 antibodies were obtained and quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and WB. Subsequently, WB was performed using the P6 antibodies to identify SRBSDV antigens derived from the suspected rice samples collected from nine districts in Guizhou, China. The assay results showed that Libo, Pingtang, Huishui, Dushan, and Anshun districts had experienced an SRBSDV outbreak. The virus content in the sampled rice tissues was quantified by WB. Our results revealed that SRBSDV mainly accumulated in rice stems rather than rice leaves. Thus, the findings of our study show that the SRBSDV P6 antibody can be used in WB for detecting and monitoring SRBSDV infection in infected rice plants.

Abstract
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is an offensive phytopathogen that can invade a wide range of plant hosts to develop bacterial diseases, including the well-known rice bacterial leaf blight. However, few agrochemicals have been identified to effectively prevent and eliminate Xoo-induced diseases. Thus, designing novel antibacterial compounds on the basis of the potential targets from Xoo may lead to the discovery of highly efficient and innovative anti-Xoo agents. Filamentous temperature-sensitive protein Z (FtsZ), an important functional protein in the progression of cell division, has been widely reported and exploited as a target for creating antibacterial drugs in the field of medicine. Therefore, the fabrication of innovative frameworks targeting XooFtsZ may be an effective method for managing bacterial leaf blight diseases via blocking the binary division and reproduction of Xoo. As such, a series of novel N-(cinnamoyl)-N'-(substituted)acryloyl hydrazide derivatives containing pyridinium moieties were designed, and the anti-Xoo activity was determined. The bioassay results showed that compound A7 had excellent anti-Xoo activity (EC50 = 0.99 mg L-1) in vitro and distinct curative activity (63.2% at 200 mg L-1) in vivo. Further studies revealed that these designed compounds were XooFtsZ inhibitors, validating by the reduced GTPase activity of recombinant XooFtsZ, the nonfilamentous XooFtsZ assembly observed in the TEM images, and the prolonged Xoo cells from the fluorescence patterns. Computational docking studies showed that compound A7 had strong interactions with ASN34, GLN193, and GLN197 residues located in the α helix regions of XooFtsZ. The present study demonstrates the developed FtsZ inhibitors can serve as agents to control Xoo-induced infections.

Abstract
A polysaccharide DNPE6(11) was purified from Dendrobium nobile Lindl. (D. nobile Lindl.). Its structural characteristic, antiviral activity, and preliminary mechanism were studied. The structural characteristic analysis indicated that DNPE6(11) was a novel homogenous heteropolysaccharide from D. nobile Lindl. Bioactivity assays indicated that DNPE6(11) possessed outstanding curative and inactivating activities against cucumber mosaic virus, which were superior to chitosan oligosaccharide and lentinan. Additionally, DNPE6(11) exhibited notable protective activity against potato virus Y, which was better than Ningnanmycin. Furthermore, the preliminary mechanism study found that DNPE6(11) cannot accumulate salicylic acid to induce systemic acquired resistance, but had a strong binding capacity for cucumber mosaic virus coat protein. Therefore, DNPE6(11) could be considered as a promising antiviral agent to study in the future.

Abstract
A series of novel anthranilic diamide derivatives (5a-5ab) containing moieties of trifluoromethylpyridine and hydrazone was designed and synthesized. The synthesized compounds were evaluated in vivo for their activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Most of the synthesized compounds displayed good to excellent antiviral activities. The compounds 5i, 5k, 5s, 5w, 5x, and 5z had the curative activity over 65% against TMV at the concentration of 500 μg/mL, which were significantly higher than those of ningnanmycin (55.0%) and ribavirin (37.9%). Notably, the curative activity of compound 5i was up to 79.5%, with the EC50 value of 75.9 μg/mL, whereas the EC50 value of ningnanmycin was 362.4 μg/mL. The pot experiments also further demonstrated the significantly curative effect of 5i. Meanwhile, compounds 5h, 5p and 5x displayed more protective activities on TMV than that of ningnanmycin. Moreover, compounds 5a, 5e, 5f, and 5i showed inactivation activity similar to ningnanmycin at 500 μg/mL, and the EC50 value of 5e (41.5 μg/mL) was lower than ningnanmycin (50.0 μg/mL). The findings of transmission electron microscopic (TEM) indicated that the synthesized compounds exhibited strong and significant binding affinity to TMV coat protein (CP) and could obstruct the self-assembly and increment of TMV particles. Microscale thermophoresis (MST) studies on TMV-CP and CMV CP revealed that some of the active compounds, particularly 5i, exhibited a strong binding capability to TMV-CP or CMV-CP. This study revealed that anthranilic diamide derivatives containing moieties of trifluoromethylpyridine and hydrazone could be used as novel antiviral agents for controlling the plant viruses.

Abstract
Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) causes disease in crops, which reduces the quality and yield. Several commercial antiviral agents are available to control the SRBSDV induced disease. However, the mechanism of antiviral agents controlling SRBSDV is largely unknown. Identifying targets in SRBSDV is a key step of antiviral agent discovery. Here, we investigated the potential protein target of the antiviral agent dufulin. We cloned and expressed a soluble viroplasmic P6 protein in the prokaryote Escherichia coli and the eukaryote Spodoptera frugiperda 9. The dissociation constants of dufulin with the purified P6 protein from E. coli and S. frugiperda 9 expression systems were 4.49 and 4.95 μM, respectively, indicating a strong binding affinity between dufulin and P6 protein. In vivo, dufulin significantly inhibited the expression of both P6 protein and P6 gene in the SRBSDV-infected rice leaves. This inhibition on P6 protein expression was also observed in transformed Nicotiana benthamiana where the P6 was overexpressed. Our data also showed that dufulin inhibited the duplication of SRBSDV in a dose-dependent manner in infected rice leaves with a half maximum effective concentration of 3.32 mM. It is therefore concluded that dufulin targets the viroplasmic protein P6 to inhibit the virulence of SRBSDV.

Abstract
α-Aminophosphonates compounds containing 3,5-diphenyl-2-isoxazoline were synthesized and evaluated for their bioactivity. Seventeen of them showed good bioactivity (protection effect > 50%) in vivo against papaya ringspot virus, while two of them (V29 and V45) exhibited excellent antiviral activity (both 77.8%). In the latter case, the antiviral activity was close to that of antiphytovirucides ningnanmycin and dufulin (both 83.3%) at 500 mg/L. The preliminary structure-activity relationships indicated that the bioactivity was strongly influenced by the substituents.

Abstract
The degradation dynamics and terminal residues of dufulin enantiomers were investigated in two typical corn plants. A convenient and precise chiral method by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) using a Chiralpak IC column was developed and validated for measuring dufulin enantiomers in corn plants and corn. The two enantiomers of dufulin quickly dissipated in the corn plant, and no noticeable stereoselectivity was observed during degradation or in the final residues. After 30% rac-dufulin wettable powder with a 1- to 1.5-fold dose of the recommended value was sprayed two to three times on corn plants, the residue levels of S-(+)-dufulin and R-(-)-dufulin in corn from both sites were lower than or equal to 0.0520 mg kg-1 on days 7, 14 and 21 after the last application. The dietary risk assessment indicated that dufulin did not exhibit obvious dietary health risks in corn samples when good agricultural practices were implemented. The findings from this study may be used to better understand the chiral profiles of dufulin in the environment and the effect of dufulin residues in corn on health.

Abstract
Dufulin is a plant antiviral agent with a novel molecular structure and has been used widely to prevent and control tobacco and rice viral diseases. In this study, an UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed for rapid determination of dufulin racemate ( rac-DFL) and its R ( S)-enantiomers in rat plasma, tissues, urine, and feces. A MALDI-MSI method was further used for visual research on tissue distribution after intragastric administration of the three analytes. Toxicokinetic study showed that both ( R)-enantiomer of dufulin (( R)-DFL) and ( S)-enantiomer of dufulin (( S)-DFL) had a faster ability to reach Cmax than that of rac-DFL. ( R)-DFL and ( S)-DFL had a similar T1/2, though both were significantly lower than rac-DFL. Cmax of rac-DFL was obviously higher than ( R)-DFL or ( S)-DFL. Meanwhile, Cmax of ( S)-DFL was only about 60% of ( R)-DFL. Rac-DFL and its R ( S)-enantiomers had a dose-dependent toxicokinetic profile. Tissue distribution results revealed rac-DFL, ( R)-DFL, and ( S)-DFL mainly distributed in the liver and kidney, but the maximum concentration was only ng/g grade and could significantly degrade within 3 h. This indicates that dufulin does not cause liver and kidney toxicity in animals. In addition, rac-DFL and its R ( S)-enantiomers have not been detected in brain tissue. Cumulative excretion of rac-DFL and its R ( S)-enantiomers within 24 h in urine and feces were less than 22.85% indicating that they mainly excreted as metabolites. These results could provide evidence for the in-depth toxicity evaluation of dufulin pesticide. In addition, its metabolic selectivity information in vivo has also been obtained.

Abstract
A simple and rapid method for enantioselective determination of dufulin in cucumber and soil was developed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The enantiomers were separated on a Superchiral S-OD chiral cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) column at 20°C, with a mixture of acetonitrile and water (0.1% formic acid; 52:48, v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.65 mL/min. The pretreatment conditions were optimized using an orthogonal test, and the optimized method showed good linearity and sensitivity. The limits of detection and limits of quantification of two dufulin enantiomers were 0.006 and 0.02 mg/kg, respectively. The average recoveries of S-enantiomer and R-enantiomer in cucumber and soil were 80.61-99.83% and 80.97-102.96%, respectively, with relative standard deviations of 1.30-9.72%. The method was successfully applied to determine dufulin in real cucumber and soil samples. The results demonstrate that the method could facilitate further research on the differences between individual dufulin enantiomers with respect to metabolites and environmental fate and finally help reveal the complex interactions that exist between dufulin, humans and the environment.

Abstract
Induced resistance against plant viruses has been studied for many years. However, with the exception of RNA silencing, induced resistance to viruses remains mechanistically less well understood than for other plant pathogens. In contrast, the induction processes involved in induced resistance, comprising basal resistance signaling, effector-triggered immunity, and phytohormone pathways, have been increasingly well characterized in recent years. This has allowed induced resistance to viruses to be placed in a broader conceptual framework linking it to other defense systems, which we discuss in this review. We also discuss the range of agents, including chemicals and beneficial microorganisms and application methods that can be used to induce resistance to viruses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) has spread from the south of China to the north of Vietnam in the past few years, and has severely influenced rice production. However, previous study of traditional SRBSDV transmission method by the natural virus vector, the white-backed planthopper (WBPH, Sogatella furcifera), in the laboratory, researchers are frequently confronted with lack of enough viral samples due to the limited life span of infected vectors and rice plants and low virus acquisition and inoculation efficiency by the vector. Meanwhile, traditional mechanical inoculation of virus only apply to dicotyledon because of the higher content of lignin in the leaves of the monocot. Therefore, establishing an efficient and persistent-transmitting model, with a shorter virus transmission time and a higher virus transmission efficiency, for screening novel anti-SRBSDV drugs is an urgent need. METHODS In this study, we firstly reported a novel method for transmitting SRBSDV in rice using the bud-cutting method. The transmission efficiency of SRBSDV in rice was investigated via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and the replication of SRBSDV in rice was also investigated via the proteomics analysis. RESULTS Rice infected with SRBSDV using the bud-cutting method exhibited similar symptoms to those infected by the WBPH, and the transmission efficiency (>80.00%), which was determined using the PCR method, and the virus transmission time (30 min) were superior to those achieved that transmitted by the WBPH. Proteomics analysis confirmed that SRBSDV P1, P2, P3, P4, P5-1, P5-2, P6, P8, P9-1, P9-2, and P10 proteins were present in infected rice seedlings infected via the bud-cutting method. CONCLUSION The results showed that SRBSDV could be successfully transmitted via the bud-cutting method and plants infected SRBSDV exhibited the symptoms were similar to those transmitted by the WBPH. Therefore, the use of the bud-cutting method to generate a cheap, efficient, reliable supply of SRBSDV-infected rice seedlings should aid the development of disease control strategies. Meanwhile, this method also could provide a new idea for the other virus transmission in monocot.

Evaluation of Rice Resistance to Southern Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus and Rice Ragged Stunt Virus through Combined Field Tests, Quantitative Real-Time PCR, and Proteome Analysis. Viruses 2017; 9:E37. [PMID: 28241456 PMCID: PMC5332956 DOI: 10.3390/v9020037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2016] [Revised: 01/18/2017] [Accepted: 02/18/2017] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Diseases caused by southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) and rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV) considerably decrease grain yield. Therefore, determining rice cultivars with high resistance to SRBSDV and RRSV is necessary. In this study, rice cultivars with high resistance to SRBSDV and RRSV were evaluated through field trials in Shidian and Mangshi county, Yunnan province, China. SYBR Green I-based quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis was used to quantitatively detect virus gene expression levels in different rice varieties. The following parameters were applied to evaluate rice resistance: acre yield (A.Y.), incidence of infected plants (I.I.P.), virus load (V.L.), disease index (D.I.), and insect quantity (I.Q.) per 100 clusters. Zhongzheyou1 (Z1) and Liangyou2186 (L2186) were considered the most suitable varieties with integrated higher A.Y., lower I.I.P., V.L., D.I. and I.Q. FEATURES In order to investigate the mechanism of rice resistance, comparative label-free shotgun liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomic approaches were applied to comprehensively describe the proteomics of rice varieties' SRBSDV tolerance. Systemic acquired resistance (SAR)-related proteins in Z1 and L2186 may result in the superior resistance of these varieties compared with Fengyouxiangzhan (FYXZ).

Abstract
Rice reoviruses, transmitted by leafhopper or planthopper vectors in a persistent propagative manner, seriously threaten the stability of rice production in Asia. Understanding the mechanisms that enable viral transmission by insect vectors is a key to controlling these viral diseases. This review describes current understanding of replication cycles of rice reoviruses in vector cell lines, transmission barriers, and molecular determinants of vector competence and persistent infection. Despite recent breakthroughs, such as the discoveries of actin-based tubule motility exploited by viruses to overcome transmission barriers and mutually beneficial relationships between viruses and bacterial symbionts, there are still many gaps in our knowledge of transmission mechanisms. Advances in genome sequencing, reverse genetics systems, and molecular technologies will help to address these problems. Investigating the multiple interaction systems among the virus, insect vector, insect symbiont, and plant during natural infection in the field is a central topic for future research on rice reoviruses.
