Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the multi-vendor multi-site reproducibility of two-dimensional (2D) multi-echo spin-echo (MESE) T2 mapping (product sequences); and to evaluate the longitudinal reproducibility of three-dimensional (3D) magnetization-prepared angle-modulated partitioned k-space spoiled gradient echo snapshots (MAPSS) T1ρ and T2 mapping (research sequences), and 2D MESE T2 mapping, separated by 6 months, in a multi-vendor multi-site setting. METHODS Phantoms and volunteers (n = 5 from each site, n = 20 in total) were scanned on four 3 T magnetic resonance (MR) systems from four sites and three vendors (Siemens, General Electric, and Phillips). Two traveling volunteers (3 knees) scanned at all 4 sites at baseline and 6-month follow-up. Data was transferred to one site for centralized processing. Coefficients of variation (CVs) were calculated to evaluate reproducibility. RESULTS For baseline 2D MESE T2 measures, average CV were 0.37-2.45% (intra-site) and 5.96% (inter-site) for phantoms, and 3.15-8.49% (intra-site) and 14.16% (inter-site) for volunteers. For longitudinal phantom data, intra-site CVs were 1.42-3.48% for 3D MAPSS T1ρ, 1.77-3.56% for 3D MAPSS T2, and 1.02-2.54% for 2D MESE T2. For the longitudinal volunteer data, the intra-site CVs were 2.60-4.86% for 3D MAPSS T1ρ, 3.33-7.25% for 3D MAPSS T2, and 3.11-8.77% for 2D MESE T2. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated excellent intra-site reproducibility of 2D MESE T2 imaging, while its inter-site variation was slightly higher than 3D MAPSS T2 imaging (10.06% as previously reported). This study also showed excellent reproducibility of longitudinal T1ρ and T2 cartilage quantification, in a multi-vendor multi-site setting for both product 2D MESE T2 and 3D MAPSS T1p/T2 research sequences.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the protocol of a multi-vendor, multi-site quantitative MRI study for knee post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), and to present preliminary results of cartilage degeneration using MR T1ρ and T2 imaging 10 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). DESIGN This study involves three sites and two MR platforms. The patients are from a nested cohort (termed as Onsite cohort) within the Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) cohort 10 years after ACLR. Phantoms and controls were scanned for evaluating reproducibility. Cartilage was automatically segmented, and T1ρ and T2 were compared between operated, contralateral, and control knees. RESULTS Sixty-eight ACL-reconstructed patients and 20 healthy controls were included. In phantoms, the intra-site coefficients of variation (CVs) of repeated scans ranged 1.8-2.1% for T1ρ and 1.3-1.7% for T2. The inter-site CVs ranged 1.6-2.1% for T1ρ and 1.1-1.4% for T2. In human subjects, the intra-site scan/rescan CVs ranged 2.2-3.5% for T1ρ and 2.6-4.9% for T2 for the six major compartments. In patients, operated knees showed significantly higher T1ρ and T2 values mainly in medial femoral condyle, medial tibia and trochlear cartilage compared with contralateral knees, and showed significantly higer T1ρ and T2 values in all six compartments compared to healthy control knees. The patient contralateral knees showed higher T1ρ and T2 values mainly in the lateral femoral condyle, lateral tibia, trochlear, and patellar cartilage compared to healthy control knees. CONCLUSION A platform and workflow with rigorous quality control has been established for a multi-vendor multi-site quantitative MRI study in evaluating PTOA 10 years after ACLR. Our preliminary report suggests significant cartilage matrix changes in both operated and contralateral knees compared with healthy control knees.

Abstract
Simultaneous infection of a plant by two viruses can cause more severe disease than is caused by infection with either virus alone. Such synergy may be due to effects on the replication of one virus by the second virus or to other causes. The tobamovirus turnip vein-clearing virus (TVCV), itself causing almost imperceptible symptoms in infected turnips, exacerbated symptoms of infection of turnip by the Cabbage S isolate of the caulimovirus cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV). The synergy in symptom production was most evident in a reduced size of leaves, providing an objective measure of synergy. In contrast, synergy did not occur when the CM4-184 isolate of CaMV was used in combination with TVCV. Both isolates of CaMV increased the level of TVCV accumulated in leaves. TVCV did not increase the level of the Cabbage S CaMV isolate. The use of Cabbage S-CM4-184 chimeras revealed that a region critical for isolate synergy in stunting was within the coat protein gene and/or the 5' one third of the reverse transcriptase gene. We conclude that the disease symptom synergy between TVCV and Cabbage S CaMV is not caused by altered levels of accumulation of the viruses, but instead reflects subtle genetic interactions mapping to the ORF IV-ORF V region of CaMV DNA.

Abstract
The role of host factors in plant viral diseases is not well understood. To study this important aspect of plant-pathogen interaction, we identified an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, designated vid1 (virus-inducible dwarf), with altered responses to viral infection. Specifically, vid1 resembled the wild-type plants when healthy but developed a severely dwarfed phenotype with a loss of apical dominance following infection by a tobamovirus. Genetic segregation showed that the vid1 phenotype is caused by a recessive mutation in a single gene. Since systemic viral infection is thought to interfere with the host plant intercellular transport, we propose that the vid1 mutation affects this transport process. Combination of the mutation and viral infection may disrupt transport of developmental regulators, such as hormones, causing formation of the vid1 phenotype. Indeed, the effect of vid1 mutation was repressed by exogenous application of a plant hormone auxin. Potentially, the vid1 mutant will help characterize the mechanism of virus-plant interaction and formation of plant viral disease symptoms.

Abstract
Heavy metal, such as cadmium, have a significant impact on plant physiology. However, their potential effect on plant-pathogen interaction, an important biological process, has not been examined. This study shows that exposure of tobacco plants to non-toxic concentrations of cadmium completely blocked viral disease caused by turnip vein clearing virus. Cadmium-mediated viral protection was due to inhibition of the systemic movement of the virus, i.e. its spread from the inoculated into uninoculated leaves. Exposure of plants to cadmium had no effect on viral replication, assembly and local movement within the inoculated leaf. Analysis of the viral presence in different tissues suggested that cadmium treatment inhibited virus exit from the vascular tissue into uninoculated leaves rather than its entry into the host plant vasculature. Higher, toxic levels of cadmium did not produce this inhibitory effect on viral movement, allowing the systemic spread of the virus and development of the viral disease. These observations suggest that cadmium-induced viral protection requires a relatively healthy, unpoisoned plant in which non-toxic levels of cadmium may trigger the production of cellular factors which interfere with the viral systemic movement.

Abstract
Tobamoviruses represent a well-characterized system used to examine viral infection, whereas Arabidopsis is a choice plant for most genetic experiments. It would be useful to combine both approaches into one experimental system for virus-plant interaction. Most tobamoviruses, however, are not pathogenic in Arabidopsis. Here, we describe infection of Arabidopsis by a recently discovered crucifer-infecting turnip vein clearing tobamovirus (TVCV). Using this system, we determined patterns and kinetics of viral local and systemic movement within Arabidopsis plants. Localization studies showed that the virus infects both vegetative and reproductive plant tissues. However, there may be a transport barrier between the seed coat and the embryo which virions cannot cross, preventing seed transmission of TVCV. The ability to move both locally and systemically in Arabidopsis, causing mild and fast-developing symptoms but allowing survival and fertility of the infected plants, distinguish TVCV infection of Arabidopsis as a model system to study virus-plant interaction.

Abstract
Inter- and intracellular transport of nucleic acids during plant-pathogen interaction is described on the examples of cell-to-cell movement of plant viruses and nuclear import of Agrobacterium T-DNA. In both cases, the transport process is mediated by specialized proteins produced by the pathogen. Plant virus movement occurs through the intercellular connections, plasmodesmata. In this process, the viral genomic nucleic acid is bound by virus-encoded movement protein. The nucleoprotein complex is then targeted to plasmodesmata, potentially via interaction with the host cell cytoskeleton. Prior to translocation, the plasmodesmal channel is dilated by the movement of protein. Nuclear import of Agrobacterium T-DNA is also mediated by bacterial proteins associated with the transported nucleic acid molecule. Specifically, the VirD2 and VirE2 proteins complex with the transferred DNA, providing it with the nuclear localization signals (NLSs). The VirD2 NLS is an evolutionarily conserved signal, active both in plant and animal cells. In contrast, the VirE2 NLS is plant-specific. Both VirD2 and VirE2 NLSs most likely interact with the plant cell nuclear import machinery to initiate the transport process.
