Abstract
Lily plants exhibiting virus-like symptoms of leaf yellowing, twisting and brownish necrotic spots were collected, and next-generation sequencing of small RNAs was conducted to identify the associated viruses. Cucumber mosaic virus, lily symptomless virus and a hitherto unrecorded potyvirus, tentatively named "lily yellow mosaic virus" (LYMV), were detected. The genomic RNA of LYMV was 9811 nt in length, encoding a large polyprotein of 3,124 amino acids with a predicted Mr of 353.3 kDa. BLAST analysis showed that LYMV shared a high degree of amino acid sequence identity with Thunberg fritillary mosaic virus (55%), bean yellow mosaic virus (52%), clover yellow vein virus (51%), leek yellow stripe virus (51%), and lily mottle virus (52%), and these viruses clustered together in a phylogenetic tree.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an important virus since it causes severe losses to many economically important crops worldwide. Five new isolates of CMV were isolated from naturally infected Hippeastrum hybridum, Dahlia pinnata, Hemerocallis fulva, Acorus calamus and Typhonium trilobatum plants, all exhibiting severe leaf mosaic symptoms. For molecular identification and sequence analyses, the complete coat protein (CP) gene of these isolates was amplified by RT-PCR. The resulting amplicons were cloned and sequenced and isolates were designated as HH (KP698590), DP (JF682239), HF (KP698589), AC (KP698588) and TT (JX570732). For study of genetic diversity among these isolates, the sequence data were analysed by BLASTn, multiple alignment and generating phylogenetic trees along with the respective sequences of other CMV isolates available in GenBank Database were done. The isolates under study showed 82-99% sequence diversity among them at nucleotide and amino acid levels; however they showed close relationships with CMV isolates of subgroup IB. In alignment analysis of amino acid sequences of HH and AC isolates, we have found fifteen and twelve unique substitutions, compared to HF, DP and TT isolates, suggesting the cause of high genetic diversity.

Abstract
Here we identified four isolates, MS, 3H, 50A, and 2K of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infecting tomato, on the basis of their non-coding intergenic region and a part of the coat protein (CP) sequence in the CMV genomic RNA3. The sequences from the four isolates were compared with other previously characterized isolates of CMV isolated from different plant species across the globe. Sequence comparisons revealed that the two CMV isolates from Hamedan province (MS and 3H) had the highest sequence identity with CMV-G10 (98%), which was previously reported as a severe Hellenic tomato isolate of CMV, while the CMV isolates from Tehran province, including CMV-2K (isolated from Karaj region) and CMV-50A (isolated from Varamin region), had the highest sequence identity with that of CMV-ALF (99%). Phylogenetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences showed that CMV-MS and CMV-3H belong to group IB, while CMV-2K and CMV-50A belong to group IA. This is the first report on the molecular characterization of novel isolates of CMV infecting tomato plants in Iran.

Abstract
Interstrain recombinants were observed in the progenies of the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) reassortant L(1)L(2)F(3) containing RNAs 1 and 2 from LS-CMV and RNA 3 from Fny-CMV. We characterized these recombinants, and we found that their fixation was controlled by the nature of the replicating RNAs 1 and 2. We demonstrate that the 2b gene partially affects this fixation process, but only in the context of homologous RNAs 1 and 2.

Abstract
TAXONOMIC RELATIONSHIPS Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is the type species of the genus Cucumovirus in the family Bromoviridae, which also encompasses the Peanut stunt virus (PSV) and the Tomato aspermy virus (TAV). Nucleotide sequence similarity among these three cucumoviruses is 60%-65%. CMV strains are divided into three subgroups, IA, IB and II, based on the sequence of the 5' untranslated region of the genomic RNA 3. Overall nucleotide sequence similarity among CMV strains is approximately 70%-98%. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION, HOST RANGE AND SYMPTOMATOLOGY: CMV is distributed worldwide, primarily in temperate to tropical climate zones. CMV infects more than 1200 species of 100 plant families, including monocot and dicot plants. Symptoms caused by CMV infection vary with the host species and/or CMV strain, and include mosaic, stunt, chlorosis, dwarfing, leaf malformation and systemic necrosis. CMV disease is spread primarily by aphid transmission in a nonpersistent manner. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES In tobacco sap, the thermal inactivation point of the viral infectivity is approximately 70 °C (10 min), the dilution end-point is approximately 10(-4) and viral infectivity is lost after a few days of exposure to 20 °C. Viral infectivity can be retained in freeze-dried tissues and in the form of virions purified using 5 mm sodium borate, 0.5 mm ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and 50% glycerol (pH 9.0) at -20 °C. CMV particles are isometric, approximately 28-30 nm in diameter and are composed of 180 capsid subunits arranged in pentamer-hexamer clusters with T= 3 symmetry. The sedimentation coefficient (s(20) ,(w) ) is c. 98 S and the particle weight is (5.8-6.7) × 10(6) Da. The virions contain 18% RNA. The RNA-protein interactions that stabilize the CMV virions are readily disrupted by sodium dodecylsulphate or neutral chloride salts. GENOMIC PROPERTIES: The genomic RNAs are single-stranded messenger sense RNAs with 5' cap and 3' tRNA-like structures containing at least five open reading frames. The viral RNA consists of three genomic RNAs, RNA 1 (c. 3.3 kb), RNA 2 (c. 3.0 kb) and RNA 3 (c. 2.2 kb), and two subgenomic RNAs, RNA 4 (c. 1.0 kb) and RNA 4A (c. 0.7 kb). The 3' untranslated regions are conserved across all viral RNAs. CMV is often accompanied by satellite, noncoding, small, linear RNA that is nonhomologous to the helper CMV.

Abstract
The genetic variation and evolution of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from aromatic, medicinal and ornamental plants in northern Italy was studied by sequence analysis of the movement protein gene and comparison with equivalent sequences of isolates from other countries. Comparison of nonsynonymous and synonymous substitutions suggested that 30% of amino acid sites were under negative selection and only one was under positive selection. Phylogenetic, nucleotide diversity and genetic differentiation analyses suggested that long-distance migration plays a role in the evolution and determination of the genetic structure and diversity of CMV in northern Italy and other areas.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an important virus because of its agricultural impact in the Mediterranean Basin and worldwide, and also as a model for understanding plant-virus interactions. This review focuses on those areas where most progress has been made over the past decade in our understanding of CMV. Clearly, a deep understanding of the role of the recently described CMV 2b gene in suppression of host RNA silencing and viral virulence is the most important discovery. These findings have had an impact well beyond the virus itself, as the 2b gene is an important tool in the studies of eukaryotic gene regulation. Protein 2b was shown to be involved in most of the steps of the virus cycle and to interfere with several basal host defenses. Progress has also been made concerning the mechanisms of virus replication and movement. However, only a few host proteins that interact with viral proteins have been identified, making this an area of research where major efforts are still needed. Another area where major advances have been made is CMV population genetics, where contrasting results were obtained. On the one hand, CMV was shown to be prone to recombination and to show high genetic diversity based on sequence data of different isolates. On the other hand, populations did not exhibit high genetic variability either within plants, or even in a field and the nearby wild plants. The situation was partially clarified with the finding that severe bottlenecks occur during both virus movement within a plant and transmission between plants. Finally, novel studies were undertaken to elucidate mechanisms leading to selection in virus population, according to the host or its environment, opening a new research area in plant-virus coevolution.

Abstract
A multiplex reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) protocol was developed for simultaneous detection and discrimination of subgroups of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), including its satellite RNA, Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) and Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), using 18S rRNA as an internal control. Species- and subgroups-specific primers designed to differentiate CMV subgroups I and II, ToMV and TMV, were assessed using the cDNA clones of viral genomes, CMV satellite RNA and 18S rRNA gene from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) or tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum). Using total RNA extracted from artificial mixture of tomato leaf tissues infected by each virus, the reaction components and cycling parameters were optimized and a multiplex RT-PCR procedure was established. Six fragments of 704, 593, 512, 421, 385, 255 bp, specific to CMV subgroup II, CMV subgroup I, ToMV, TMV, satellite RNA and 18S rRNA, respectively, were simultaneously amplified. The sensitivity of the multiplex RT-PCR method for detecting CMV was 100 times higher than that of double-antibody sandwich-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA). This method was successfully used for field detection. Among 141 samples collected from East China through tomato growth seasons, 106 single infections with one of the above isolates were detected and 13 mixed infections were found. The results showed the potential use of this method for investigating the epidemiology of viral diseases infecting tomato.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolates are currently divided into two main groups, I and II according to their genomic sequences. The group I is further divided into two subgroups IA and IB. We performed a phylogenetic analysis of the genome regions containing 1a, 2a, 2b, coat protein (CP), and movement protein (MP) genes of 5 CMV isolates from China and other 28 CMV isolates available in the GenBank. The results indicated that CMV isolates could be genetically divided into three groups I, II, and III according to the genes encoding MP, CP, 1a, and 2a proteins and to the 2 groups according to the gene 2b. Group I could be further divided into two subgroups (IA and IB) according to the genes encoding CP, MP, 2a, and 2b proteins and to the three subgroups (IA, IB, and IC) according to the gene encoding 1a protein. Four of 5 examined Chinese CMV isolates belonged to the subgroup IB, while the remaining isolate was a natural inter-subgroup reassortant. We found that the 2b gene of CMV was under positive selection, while the other genes were under negative selection. No evidence of the selection associated with a host adaptation or geographic distribution was found.

Abstract
Peanut stunt virus (PSV) is a common legume pathogen present worldwide. It is also infectious for many other plants including peanut and some vegetables. Viruses of this species are classified at present into three subgroups based on their serology and nucleotide homology. Some of them may also carry an additional subviral element - satellite RNA. Analysis of the full genome sequence of a Polish strain - PSV-P - associated with satRNA was performed and showed that it may be classified as a derivative of the subgroup I sharing 83.9-87.9% nucleotide homology with other members of this subgroup. A comparative study of sequenced PSV strains indicates that PSV-P shows the highest identity level with PSV-ER or PSV-J depending on the region used for analysis. Phylogenetic analyses, on the other hand, have revealed that PSV-P is related to representatives of the subgroup I to the same degree, with the exception of the coat protein coding sequence where PSV-P is clustered together with PSV-ER.

Abstract
A simple technique was developed to separate Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) from Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in natural mixed infections. Sap from cowpea leaves infected naturally with a mixture of CCMV and CMV was inoculated mechanically on the first tri-foliolate leaf of cowpea seedlings. Both inoculated and non-inoculated upper leaves were sampled 3 or 8 days post-inoculation and tested by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using primers specific to CCMV and CMV. RT-PCR analysis showed the presence of only CCMV in the inoculated leaf and both viruses in the non-inoculated systemically infected upper leaves. Total RNA from the inoculated leaves positive to CCMV only was further confirmed upon re-inoculation to cowpea seedlings. Typical CCMV symptoms were produced within 1 week and RT-PCR analysis showed only the presence of CCMV in both inoculated and non-inoculated systemically infected upper leaves. Systemically infected upper leaves of the same plants were used for CCMV purification. RT-PCR analysis of the purified virion and RNA extracted from the virion further confirmed the absence of CMV contamination. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a method separating CCMV directly from mixed infections with CMV in cowpea.

Abstract
The 2b protein encoded by Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) has been shown as a virus counter defense factor that interferes with the RNAi pathway. The 2b gene from CMV-banana, New Delhi isolate (CMV-NDLS) was amplified from CMV infected cucumber plants to generate the sense and antisense binary vector constructs for 2b expression and repression in planta. Constitutive expression of 2b gene in healthy Nicotiana tabacum caused phenotypic aberrations during somatic embryogenesis, which were not observed when expressed in CMV infected N. tabacum. Further, the established virus population in CMV infected N. tabacum was not affected by constitutive expression and repression of 2b gene. Thus, indicating its role in initiation of gene silencing, at the early stage of viral infection. This is the first demonstration of differential behavior of 2b suppressor protein in host development in the absence and presence of virus.

Abstract
To monitor genetic variation between Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolates of northwest Iran, samples of cucurbitaceous plants expressing symptoms similar to those caused by CMV were collected. The samples were first screened by ELISA to detect CMV and to determine its subgroup. All detected CMV isolates appeared to be subgroup I (S-I). When total RNA from the samples was subjected to RT-PCR with a pair of primers corresponding to the CMV coat protein (CP) flanking regions, the expected ~870 bp DNA fragment was amplified at 18 samples of 34 tested. MspI restriction analysis of 18 amplified products produced two DNA fragments with sizes about 530 and 330 bp corresponding to MspI profile of CMV S-I. The amplification products of four representative samples were cloned and nucleotide sequences of 1-5 clones from each isolate were determined. The clones from each isolate were over 99% identical and also the isolates themselves were only up to 2% divergent. These isolates clustered in subgroup IA clade on a consensus phylogenetic tree and formed a distinct subclade suggesting that the isolates have originated from a common source.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a tripartite RNA virus and has been divided into three subgroups, named IA, IB, and II. Some studies have found a few natural reassortants between CMV subgroups, although reassortment between CMV subgroups is infrequent. In our present work, a CMV reassortant, named CMV-Tsh, was obtained from a tomato plant. The complete sequence of CMV-Tsh genomic RNAs has been determined and analyzed. The results of sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analyses revealed that CMV-Tsh RNAs 1 and 3 are derived from one or two CMV subgroup II strain(s), while RNA2 is derived from a CMV subgroup IA strain. A PCR and restriction enzyme analysis-based method was developed to analyze the possibility of mixed infection by CMV strains of different subgroup in the CMV-Tsh-infected tomato plant. The results of the restriction enzyme analysis proved that CMV-Tsh is the unique strain in the tomato plant. Taken together, CMV-Tsh is a natural reassortant having CMV subgroup IA RNA2 and subgroup II RNAs 1 and 3.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)-encoded 2b protein from subgroup IA or subgroup II was shown to be a determinant of virulence in many solanaceous hosts. In this study, the virulence of 2b proteins from subgroup IB strains was analysed using four intraspecies hybrid viruses, which were generated by precise replacement of the 2b open reading frame (ORF) in subgroup IA strain Fny-CMV with the 2b ORFs of four subgroup IB strains, Cb7-CMV, PGs-CMV, Rad35-CMV and Na-CMV, generating FCb7(2b)-CMV, FPGs(2b)-CMV, FRad35(2b)-CMV and FNa(2b)-CMV, respectively. FCb7(2b)-CMV was more virulent than Fny-CMV, and was similar in phenotype to its parental virus Cb7-CMV on the three Nicotiana species tested. FNa(2b)-CMV also was virulent on these host species, equivalent to Fny-CMV or Na-CMV. However, FRad35(2b)-CMV only caused mild mosaic or undetectable symptoms on all the host species tested, and was less virulent than Fny-CMV or Rad35-CMV. FPGs(2b)-CMV infected all the host species systemically, and induced either mosaic or barely visible symptoms, demonstrating that the inability of PGs-CMV to infect these three Nicotiana species was not due to its 2b protein. The diverse virulence was shown to be mediated by the 2b proteins rather than the C-terminal overlapping parts of the 2a proteins, and was associated with the level of viral progeny RNA accumulation in systemically infected leaves, but not with the rate of long-distance viral movement in host plants. Through analysis of encapsidation of viral RNAs, there was an apparent correlation between the virulence and the high level of encapsidated RNA 2 in virions of Fny-CMV, FCb7(2b)-CMV and FNa(2b)-CMV.

Abstract
Two cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolates XJ1 and XJ2 were obtained from sugar beet showing yellow mosaic symptom in Shihezi, Xinjiang Uigur municipality of China. The coat protein gene of the two CMV isolates and their associated satellite RNAs were amplified by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and were cloned and sequenced. Comparison of CP gene sequences showed that XJ1 and XJ2 have the highest sequence identity with that of CMV-Danshen (97.8%) and CMV-SD (98.7%), respectively. Two types of satellite RNAs (XJs1 and XJs2) were found to be associated with the two CMV isolates consisting of 384 nucleotides and 336 nucleotides, respectively. Sequence comparisons revealed that XJs1 and XJs2 were most closely related to CS2-sat and CS1-sat, respectively, with 98.9% and 98.5% nucleotide sequence identity. Phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide sequence and deduced amino acid sequence of coat protein gene revealed that XJ1 and XJ2 belong to subgroup IB but there exist some variation between them. Parallel analyses of nucleotide sequence of XJsl and XJs2 suggested that these two satellite RNAs probably originated from China.

Abstract
Genetic bottlenecks may occur in virus populations when only a few individuals are transferred horizontally from one host to another, or when a viral population moves systemically from the infection site. Genetic bottlenecks during the systemic movement of an RNA plant virus population were reported previously (H. Li and M. J. Roossinck, J. Virol. 78:10582-10587, 2004). In this study we mechanically inoculated an artificial population consisting of 12 restriction enzyme marker mutants of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) onto young leaves of squash plants and used two aphid species, Aphis gossypii and Myzus persicae, to transmit the virus populations from infected source plants to healthy squash plants. Horizontal transmission by aphids constituted a significant bottleneck, as the population in the aphid-inoculated plants contained far fewer mutants than the original inoculum source. Additional experiments demonstrated that genetic variation in the artificial population of CMV is not reduced during the acquisition of the virus but is significantly reduced during the inoculation period.

Abstract
One hundred and twenty three cucurbit samples with one or more symptoms of leaf mosaic, leaf distortion, fruit mosaic, stunting, mottling and yellowing were collected from several locations in the northwest region of Iran. Screening by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) with a cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) polyclonal antibody, produced positive reactions from 13 samples. However, none of these positive samples reacted with a CMV subgroup-II (S-II)-specific monoclonal antibody in a triple antibody sandwich (TAS)-ELSIA. When total RNA from the CMV-infected samples was subjected to reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with a pair of primers corresponding to the flanking regions of the virus coat protein (CP) gene, an expected DNA fragment of about 872 bp was amplified from 10 of the 13 isolates. This fragment covered the CP open reading frame (ORF) plus 92 and 123 bp of the 5' and 3' flanking regions, respectively. Restriction analysis with MspI (HpaII) was done on 9 of the PCR products and revealed a previously described CMV subgroup I (S-I) specific profile (537 and 335 bp fragments) for the isolates B13, B23, B5, SH5, SH17, S342 and S337, and an additional fragment, suggestive of combined profiles, was present for B13, SH5 and S342. Two other isolates, SH12 and B7 had a CMV S-II MspI profile (four visible fragments and a predicted non-visible 28-bp fragment on 2% agarose). Also, BsuRI (HaeIII) did not cut the PCR products characteristic of the CMV S-I specific MspI profile, whereas for the S-II isolates, BsuRI gave two fragments with sizes of approximately 559 and 313 bp. Nucleotide (nt) sequences of clones from the isolates B13, B23, SH5, SH17, S337 and SH12 were determined and aligned with those of previously published CMV strains and isolates. Consensus parsimonious trees constructed on the basis of the whole amplified region (841 nt excluding the primer sequences), CP ORF (nt or deduced amino acid data), or either of the flanking regions confirmed the RFLP data so that B13, B23, S337, SH5 and SH17 were placed in the CMV S-IA subclade, and SH12 in the S-II Clade. These analyses showed that both CMV S-I and S-II variants occur in the northwest region of Iran although S-I variants appeared to have a higher incidence.

Abstract
A viral disease was identified on geraniums (Pelargonium spp.) grown in a greenhouse at the Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT), Palampur, exhibiting mild mottling and stunting. The causal virus (Cucumber mosaic virus, CMV) was identified and characterized on the basis of host range, aphid transmission, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), DNA-RNA hybridization and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). A complete coat protein (CP) gene was amplified using degenerate primers and sequenced. The CP gene showed nucleotide and amino acid homology up to 97%-98% and 96%-99%, respectively with the sequences of CMV subgroup II. The CP gene also showed homologies of 75%-97% in nucleotide and 77%-96% in amino acid with the CMV Indian isolates infecting various crops. On the basis of sequence homology, it was concluded that CMV-infecting geraniums in India belong to subgroup II.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of Peanut stunt virus strain Mi (PSV-Mi) from China was determined and compared to other viruses of the genus Cucumovirus. The tripartite genome of PSV-Mi encoded five open reading frames (ORFs) typical of cucumoviruses. Distance analyses of four ORFs indicated that PSV-Mi differed sufficiently in nucleotide sequence from other PSV strains of subgroups I and II to warrant establishment of a third subgroup of PSV.

Abstract
The role of recombination in the evolution of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was analyzed in a collection of Spanish isolates from 1989 to 2002. Isolates were characterized by ribonuclease protection assay using six RNA probes, two for each of the three genomic RNAs, which allowed the identification of the analyzed regions as belonging to CMV isolates in subgroups IA, IB, and II. Most isolates belonged to subgroups IA (64%) and IB (12%), 5% were reassortants among subgroups IA, IB, or II, and 17% were recombinants between these groups. Recombinants at RNA3 were significantly more frequent than recombinants at RNAs 1 and 2. One IB-IA recombinant RNA3 was as frequent in central Spain as the IA RNA3. The genetic structure of the virus population suggested that reassortants and most recombinant genotypes were selected against and was consistent with a higher biological cost of reassortment than recombination. Data also suggest that recombinants that encode hybrid proteins are at a higher disadvantage than recombinants that exchange whole ORFs.

Abstract
Eight mouse hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were produced. Analysis of the specificities of the MAbs against CMV isolates by triple antibody sandwich (TAS)-ELISA demonstrated that four MAbs were specific for subgroup I (S-I) isolates and two for subgroup II (S-II) isolates, whereas another two MAbs could detect both S-I and S-II isolates. TAS-ELISA and immunocapture RT-PCR (IC-RT-PCR) methods were then established for reliable and efficient detection and subgrouping of CMV isolates using the produced MAbs. When 197 field samples collected from six provinces in China were tested by TAS-ELISA, 130 samples were found to be infected by CMV. Among them, 121 samples were infected by S-I isolates (93.1%) and another nine samples by S-II isolates (6.9%). In IC-RT-PCR using the MAbs and specific primers in the region of the coat protein (CP) gene, samples shown to contain S-I isolates by TAS-ELISA gave one specific band about 500 nucleotides in length, whereas samples containing S-II isolates produced a single band with the length of approximately 600 nucleotides. The validity and reliability of the results of TAS-ELISA and IC-RT-PCR was confirmed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of nearly full-length CP genes of the isolates.

Abstract
A system for microarrays was developed to detect and differentiate Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) serogroups and subgroups. The coat protein genes of 14 different isolates were amplified using cy3-labelled generic but species-specific primers. These amplicons were hybridized against a set of five different serotype and subgroup specific 24-mer oligonucleotides bound to an aldehyde-coated glass slide via an aminolinker. The results of the hybridization revealed that the method allowed a clear differentiation of the 14 different CMV isolates into the serogroupes 1 and 2, and in addition was able to assign 9 out of 10 different serogroup 1 isolates correctly into subgroups 1a and 1b. This differentiation was not possible by RFLP analysis with the restriction enzyme MspI. The use of amplicons larger than 700 base pairs and their successful differentiation by hybridization to specific oligonucleotides opens avenues to highly parallel, yet sensitive assays for plant viruses.

Abstract
The structure and genetic diversity of a California Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) population was assessed by single-strand conformation polymorphism and nucleotide sequence analyses of genomic regions 2b, CP, MP, and the 3' nontranslated region of RNA3. The California CMV population exhibited low genetic diversity and was composed of one to three predominant haplotypes and a large number of minor haplotypes for specific genomic regions. Extremely low diversity and close evolutionary relationships among isolates in a subpopulation suggested that founder effects might play a role in shaping the genetic structure. Phylogenetic analysis indicated a naturally occurring reassortant between subgroup IA and IB isolates and potential reassortants between subgroup IA isolates, suggesting that genetic exchange by reassortment contributed to the evolution of the California CMV population. Analysis of various population genetics parameters and distribution of synonymous and nonsynonymous mutations revealed that different coding regions and even different parts of coding regions were under different evolutionary constraints, including a short region of the 2b gene for which evidence suggests possible positive selection.

Abstract
To investigate the interactions between RNA3 and RNA4 from subgroups I and II in mixed infections, accumulation of CMV RNA were analyzed. In the mixed inoculation assays with CMV-LE (LE, subgroup I) and a reassortant LLm consisting of RNA1 and RNA2 from LE, and RNA3 from CMV-m2 (m2, subgroup II), LE RNA3 and RNA4 could systemically spread in the plants, whereas those of m2 could not. Furthermore, accumulation of virus short RNA and a cowpea-encoded RNA-directed RNA polymerase gene (VuRdRP1) mRNA were found in the plants, suggesting that VIGS and/or distinct antiviral responses (was) were activated by infection with CMV.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) A strain (CMV-A) isolated from Amaranthus tricolor was partially characterized at molecular level. Complete coat protein (CP) and movement protein (MP) ORFs were cloned and sequenced. The 657 bp region of CP gene and the 840 bp region of MP gene encode 218 and 276 amino acids, respectively. CP, at nucleotide level, showed 90-98% sequence identity with the CMV subgroup I and less than 80% with the CMV subgroup II, it showed at amino acid level 92-96% identity with the subgroup I and 74-87% with the subgroup II. The nucleotide and amino acid sequence identities of MP ranged in 91-94% and 92-96%, respectively with the subgroup I but in 81-83% with the subgroup II. Phylogenetic trees generated from nucleotide and amino acid sequences of both CP and MP genes identified the virus strain as a member of the subgroup IB. CMV-A CP also displayed a remarkably higher homology with Indian strains of CMV than with other CMV strains and formed a separate cluster within the subgroup IB.

Abstract
The cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolate P1 caused very mild symptoms on many plant species. After serial passages by mechanical inoculation over five years, CMV P1 caused severe symptoms on several tobacco cultivars and tomato. A specific band of approximately 0.3 kb in length was amplified by RT-PCR with primers synthesized based on reported CMV satellite RNA (satRNA) sequences. Sequence analysis showed there were two satRNAs (Sat-P1-1 and Sat-P1-2). Sat-P1-1 contained 335 nucleotides, and Sat-P1-2 contained 394 nucleotides. These two satRNAs shared 64% overall nucleotide sequence homology, and differences between the two satRNAs included mutations as well as deletions. Sat-P1-1 was identical to a satRNA (Z96099) reported in 1995 in CMV P1. Based on differences in the sequence and secondary structure between these two satRNAs, we conclude that Sat-P1-2 represents the emergence of a new satellite (necrotic satellite) from attenuated satRNA populations. The possible effect of the emergence of this new satRNA is discussed.

Abstract
Genetic diversity and biological variation were compared for California isolates of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). These fell into five pathotypes based on their reactions on three cucurbits including a susceptible squash, a melon with conventional resistance and a commercial CMV-resistant transgenic squash. Thirty-three isolates infected and caused symptoms on CMV-resistant transgenic squash. Forty-two isolates infected the CMV-resistant melon, but only 25 isolates infected both. Single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis was used to differentiate 81 California isolates into 14 groups, and the coat protein (CP) genes of 27 isolates with distinct and indistinguishable SSCP patterns were sequenced. Fourteen isolates corresponding to the different SSCP patterns were also used for phylogenetic analysis. Seventy-nine isolates belonged to CMV subgroup IA, but two belonged to CMV subgroup IB. This is the first report of subgroup IB isolates in the Americas. All CMV isolates had a nucleotide identity greater than or equal to 93.24 %. There was no correlation between CP gene variation and geographical origin, collection year, original host plant, or between the degree of CP amino acid sequence identity and the capacity to overcome transgenic and/or conventional resistance. SSCP and sequence analyses were used to compare 33 CMV isolates on CMV-resistant transgenic squash and susceptible pumpkin plants. One isolate showed sequence differences between these two hosts, but this was not due to recombination or selection pressure of transgenic resistance. CMV isolates capable of infecting cucurbits with conventional and transgenic CMV resistance were present in California, even before CMV transgenic material was available.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an RNA plant virus with a tripartite genome and an extremely broad host range. Previous evolutionary analyses with the coat protein (CP) and 5' nontranslated region (NTR) of RNA 3 suggested subdivision of the virus into three groups, subgroups IA, IB, and II. In this study 15 strains of CMV whose nucleotide sequences have been determined were used for a complete phylogenetic analysis of the virus. The trees estimated for open reading frames (ORFs) located on the different RNAs were not congruent and did not completely support the subgrouping indicated by the CP ORF, indicating that different RNAs had independent evolutionary histories. This is consistent with a reassortment mechanism playing an important role in the evolution of the virus. The evolutionary trees of the 1a and 3a ORFs were more compact and displayed more branching than did those of the 2a and CP ORFs. This may reflect more rigid host-interactive constraints exerted on the 1a and 3a ORFs. In addition, analysis of the 3' NTR that is conserved among all RNAs indicated that evolutionary constraints on this region are specific to the RNA component rather than the virus isolate. This indicates that functions other than replication are encoded in the 3' NTR. Reassortment may have led to the genetic diversity found among CMV strains and contributed to its enormous evolutionary success.

Abstract
A cucumber mosaic virus isolate was found to be associated with mottle crinkle and severe mosaic disease of Egyptian henbane (Hyoscyamus muticus L.). The virus has been characterized as an Indian isolate of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) based on non-persistent transmission by aphid, presence of 28-nm isometric particles, capsid protein of 26 K and single-stranded tripartite RNA genome with a subgenomic RNA (RNA 4). There was no evidence of satellite RNA genome. The isolate showed a strong serological relationship with S and A strains of CMV (CMV-S and CMV-A) in double diffusion test. A band of the 26 K capsid protein was also detected by Western blot analysis using antibodies specific to CMV-S.

Abstract
Reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for detection and identification of three cucumoviruses (cucumber mosaic virus, CMV; peanut stunt virus, PSV; tomato aspermy virus, TAV) in various plants sources with a single pair of primers, designed as CPTALL-3 and CPTALL-5. The pair of cucumovirus genus-specific primers that flank the coat protein gene were designed and used to amplify a DNA fragment of approximately ranging from 938 to 966 bp. The RT-PCR with the set of primers specifically amplified the target size of DNA fragment in all the tested cucumoviruses (CMV S-IA, S-IB and S-II, PSV and TAV). No DNA product of any length was produced when brome mosaic virus or tobacco mosaic virus RNA was used as templates. The cucumoviruses examined were differentiated by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism with different enzymes. This indicates that the designed primers are only specific for the cucumoviruses and useful for reliable information of identification of members of the Cucumovirus genus.

Abstract
Northern blot analyses of RNAs from an Iranian strain of Peanut stunt virus (PSV-I Cucumovirus) using cloned cDNA probes to the genomic RNAs from two PSV strains, PSV-ER (subgroup I) and PSV-W (subgroup II), indicated that PSV-I RNA-3 is derived from a subgroup II strain. No hybridization signals, however, were detected with PSV-I RNAs 1 and 2 suggesting they are distinct from both subgroups I and II. Nucleotide (nt) sequence analysis of cloned cDNA fragments (1-1.5 kbp in size) representing PSV-I RNAs 1 and 2 showed that PSV-I is more closely related to subgroup II strains than to any other sequenced cucumovirus. The percent nt identity between RNA-1 sequences from PSV-I and PSV-ER or between PSV-I and PSV-W were 79.1% and 88.8%, respectively. The corresponding values for RNA-2 were 77.5% and 86.7%. Sequence comparison analyses of deduced amino acid sequence of cloned partial sequences of PSV-I RNAs 1 and 2 indicated that PSV-I 1a and 2a proteins are most closely related to those of subgroup II strains (93% identity). PSV-I supported the replication and encapsidation of PSV G-satellite RNA (G-satRNA), but not cucumber mosaic virus WL1-satRNA. PSV-I may be perceived as an Old World derivative of subgroup II strains, or it may represent a natural reassortment between a subgroup II (RNA-3) and an as yet uncharacterized subgroup of PSV strains (RNAs 1 and 2).

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) has been divided into two subgroups based on serological data, peptide mapping of the coat protein, nucleic acid hybridization, and nucleotide sequence similarity. Analyses of a number of recently isolated strains suggest a further division of the subgroup I strains. Alignment of the 5' nontranslated regions of RNA 3 for 26 strains of CMV suggests the division of CMV into subgroups IA, IB, and II and suggests that rearrangements, deletions, and insertions in this region may have been the precursors of the subsequent radiation of each subgroup. Phylogeny analyses of CMV using the coat protein open reading frame of 53 strains strongly support the further division of subgroup I into IA and IB. In addition, strains within each subgroup radiate from a single point of origin, indicating that they have evolved from a single common ancestor for each subgroup.

Abstract
Strains of peanut stunt cucumovirus (PSV) were classified into two distinct subgroups, I and II, based on Western and Northern blot analyses using antisera and cloned cDNA probes to strains PSV-ER and PSV-W. These results were corroborated by nucleotide sequence analyses of full-length cDNA clones of RNA3 from representative strains of the two subgroups. Whereas the percentage nucleotide sequence identity between PSV-ER (or PSV-J) and PSV-W RNA3s was determined to be 80%, the corresponding value between strains ER and J was 91%, confirming that strains ER and J belong to the same subgroup (subgroup I) whereas strain W belongs to a separate subgroup (subgroup II). PSV-W and PSV-ER RNA3s are 2173 and 2188 nucleotides long, respectively. Each is dicistronic, encoding a putative movement protein (3a protein) and a coat protein (CP). The intercistronic and 5' untranslated region (UTR) sequences of PSV strains, unlike those of cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV) strains, are highly conserved and thus not useful for distinguishing the two subgroups. However, the 3' UTR sequences of PSV strains, like those of CMV strains, can discriminate between the two subgroups since strains within the same subgroup are 95% identical in their 3' UTRs whereas those in different subgroups are only 74-78% identical. PSV-W and PSV-ER RNA4s were determined to be 994 and 1006 nucleotides long, respectively. PSV 3a and CP genes have higher percentage nucleotide sequence identities to those of tomato aspermy cucumovirus than to those of CMV.

Abstract
The complete sequences of RNA 4 from cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) strains Ny (subgroup I) and Sn (subgroup II) have been determined and compared to all other known complete CMV RNA 4 sequences. The identification of a unique EcoRI site, present only in subgroup-II RNA 4 sequences, provides the basis for a simple method of classifying CMV isolates.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV) can be divided into two subgroups, I and II. LS-CMV and most other subgroup II strains cause a mild, systemic mottle on tobacco and can induce a necrotic etching (necrotic rings) symptom on inoculated tobacco leaves. In contrast, Fny-CMV and most other subgroup I strains cause severe, systemic mosaic symptoms on tobacco, but do not induce the necrotic etching symptom. Full-length cDNA clones of all three genomic RNAs of LS-CMV were constructed and infectious RNAs were generated from these clones. Using pseudorecombinants constructed from the infectious transcripts of LS-CMV and Fny-CMV, we found that both RNAs 1 and 2 of Fny-CMV are involved in determining the severity of systemic symptom on tobacco, and that LS-CMV RNA 3 contains the determinant for the necrotic etching symptom. Chimeras formed between Fny- and LS-CMV RNA 3 were used to demonstrate that the inducer of the necrotic etching symptoms mapped to the 5' 618 nucleotides of LS-CMV RNA 3, and required sequences in both the 5' non-translated region, as well as the 3a gene of CMV.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) contains three genomic RNAs (RNAs 1, 2, and 3) and a subgenomic RNA (RNA 4), a shared feature of the Bromoviridae family which includes cucumoviruses, bromoviruses, alfalfa mosaic virus, and ilarviruses. We describe in this paper the molecular characterization of a novel subgenomic RNA of the Q strain of CMV (Q-CMV), RNA 4A, which was first reported in 1973 (K. W. C. Peden and R. H. Symons, Virology 53, 487-492, 1973). RNA 4A is 682 nucleotides and is identical in sequence to the 3'-terminal 682 nucleotides of RNA 2. RNA 4A encodes a small open reading frame (ORF) of 100 codons, which, in RNA 2, overlaps the C-terminal portion of the major 2a gene; thus it is likely that RNA 4A functions as the mRNA for the in vivo expression of the ORF, called ORF 2b. Polyclonal antibodies raised against a 2b fusion protein expressed in Escherichia coli specifically detected the 2b gene product in Q-CMV-infected cucumber plants by Western immunoblotting. Examination of published viral RNA sequences revealed the conservation of ORF 2b in all of the four other cucumoviruses sequenced to date; however, it is absent from the rest of the Bromoviridae. We suggest that the proposed ORF 2b may be expressed in other cucumoviruses, most likely via 4A-like subgenomic RNAs, and that the predicted gene product may have a unique functional role in the infection process of cucumoviruses.
