serological comparison of tospovirus isolates from taiwan and india with impatiens necrotic spot virus and different tomato spotted wilt virus isolates.tospovirus isolates from tomato and watermelon in taiwan and from peanut in india reacted neither with antibodies to tomato spotted wilt virus (tswv), nor with antibodies to impatiens necrotic spot virus (insv), in elisa and in electroblot immunoassays. additionally, all three tospovirus isolates had an n protein with a molecular weight of 32 kda as compared to 29 kda for the n protein to tswv and insv. the observed physicochemical and serological differences suggest the generation of a new, thi ...19937686004
resistance to tospoviruses in nicotiana benthamiana transformed with the n gene of tomato spotted wilt virus: correlation between transgene expression and protection in primary transformants.nicotiana benthamiana was transformed with the nucleoprotein (n) gene of an italian isolate of tomato spotted wilt virus (tswv). forty-five t1 primary transformant lines were analyzed for the expression of n protein and for resistance to tswv and three other tospoviruses: impatiens necrotic spot virus (insv), groundnut bud necrosis virus (gbnv), and groundnut ringspot virus (grsv). thirteen of these lines were further characterized. resistance to all tswv isolates tested was found in two lines. ...19957772806
classification of tospoviruses based on phylogeny of nucleoprotein gene sequences.the nucleotide sequences of the nucleoprotein (n) genes of seven tospovirus isolates representing three serogroups were determined and used to establish phylogenetic parameters to delineate species within the tospovirus genus of the bunyaviridae. a high sequence divergence (55.9% identity at the nucleotide level) was observed between isolates of serogroup i (tomato spotted wilt virus) and isolates of serogroup iii (impatiens necrotic spot virus). the serogroup ii isolates take an intermediate po ...19938429298

development of a microarray for simultaneous detection and differentiation of different tospoviruses that are serologically related to tomato spotted wilt virus.tospoviruses, the plant-infecting genus in the family bunyaviridae, are thrips borne and cause severe agricultural losses worldwide. based on the serological relationships of the structural nucleocapsid protein (np), the current tospoviruses are divided into six serogroups. the use of np-antisera is convenient for virus detection, but it is insufficient to identify virus species grouped in a serogroup due to the serological cross-reaction. alternatively, virus species can be identified by the n ...201728081705
an efficient and high fidelity method for amplification, cloning and sequencing of complete tospovirus genomic rna segments.tospoviruses (genus tospovirus, family bunyaviridae) are responsible for major losses in an extensive range of crops worldwide. new species of these single-stranded, ambisense rna viruses regularly emerge and have been shown to maintain heterogeneous populations with individual isolates having quite variable biological and virulence characteristics. most tospovirus phylogenetic studies have focused on analysis of a single gene, most often the nucleocapsid protein gene. complete genomic rna segme ...201728082165
development of a molecular assay for the general detection of tospoviruses and the distinction between tospoviral species.a luminex xtag-based assay for plant-infecting tospoviruses was developed. the test enables the detection of tospoviruses in general and the differentiation of the four important member species of this genus: tomato spotted wilt virus, impatiens necrotic spot virus, the proposed 'capsicum chlorosis virus' and watermelon silver mottle virus. the generic tospovirus primers used in this method are also applicable for detection of tospoviruses by basic rt-pcr. we also describe an economic alternativ ...201728190200
the nsm proteins of phylogenetically related tospoviruses trigger sw-5b-mediated resistance dissociated of their cell-to-cell movement function.the cell-to-cell movement protein (nsm) of tomato spotted wilt virus (tswv) has been recently identified as the effector of the single dominant sw-5b resistance gene from tomato (solanum lycopersicum l.). although most tswv isolates shows a resistance-inducing (ri) phenotype, regular reports have appeared on the emergence of resistance-breaking (rb) isolates in tomato fields, and suggested a strong association with two point mutations (c118y and t120n) in the nsm protein. in this study the sw-5b ...201728754561
