iranian beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv): pronounced diversity of the p25 coding region in a-type bnyvv and identification of p-type bnyvv lacking a fifth rna species.beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) was detected in 288 of the 392 samples collected in iran. a-type bnyvv was detected most frequently. the p25 coding region on bnyvv rna-3 was amplified by rt-pcr and sequenced. nine different variants of the highly variable amino acid tetrad at positions 67-70 of p25 were identified, i.e. achg, ahhg, ayhg, alhg, afhr, afhg, ahyg, vlhg and vhhg. these are more different tetrad variants than have been reported from any other country. the first three variants ...200919219576
progress towards the understanding and control of sugar beet rhizomania disease.rhizomania is a soil-borne disease that occurs throughout the major sugar beet growing regions of the world, causing severe yield losses in the absence of effective control measures. it is caused by beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv), which is transmitted by the obligate root-infecting parasite polymyxa betae. bnyvv has a multipartite rna genome with all natural isolates containing four rna species, although some isolates have a fifth rna. the larger rna1 and rna2 contain the housekeeping g ...200919161359
rapid screening of rna silencing suppressors by using a recombinant virus derived from beet necrotic yellow vein virus.to counteract plant defence mechanisms, plant viruses have evolved to encode rna silencing suppressor (rss) proteins. these proteins can be identified by a range of silencing suppressor assays. here, we describe a simple method using beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) that allows a rapid screening of rss activity. the viral inoculum consisted of bnyvv rna1, which encodes proteins involved in viral replication, and two bnyvv-derived replicons: rep3-p30, which expresses the movement protein p ...200919570958
isolation of bnyvv coat protein-specific single chain fv from a mouse phage library antibody.beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) infects sugar beet plants worldwide and is responsible for the rhizomania disease and severe economic losses. disease severity and lack of naturally occurring resistant plants make it very difficult to control the virus, both from epidemiological and economic standpoints. therefore, early detection is vital to impose hygiene restrictions and prevent further spread of the virus in the field. immunoassays are one of the most popular methodologies for the pri ...200919857111
bnyvv-derived dsrna confers resistance to rhizomania disease of sugar beet as evidenced by a novel transgenic hairy root approach.agrobacterium rhizogenes-transformed sugar beet hairy roots, expressing dsrna from the beet necrotic yellow vein virus replicase gene, were used as a novel approach to assess the efficacy of three intron-hairpin constructs at conferring resistance to rhizomania disease. genetically engineered roots were similar in morphology to wild type roots but were characterized by a profound abundancy, rapid growth rate and, in some cases, plagiotropic development. upon challenge inoculation, seedlings show ...201020127510
p0 proteins of european beet-infecting poleroviruses display variable rna silencing suppression activity.post-transcriptional gene silencing (ptgs), or rna silencing, is one of the key mechanisms of antiviral defence used by plants. to counter this defence response, viruses produce suppressor proteins that are able to inhibit the ptgs pathway or to interfere with some of its function. the aim of this study was to evaluate the rna silencing suppressor (rss) activity of p0 proteins from selected european isolates of the beet-infecting poleroviruses beet chlorosis virus (bchv) and beet mild yellowing ...201019955562
breakdown of host resistance by independent evolutionary lineages of beet necrotic yellow vein virus involves a parallel c/u mutation in its p25 gene.abstract breakdown of sugar beet rz1-mediated resistance against beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) infection was previously found, by reverse genetics, to be caused by a single mutation in its p25 gene. the possibility of alternative breaking mutations, however, has not been discarded. to explore the natural diversity of bnyvv in the field and its effects on overcoming rz1, wild-type (wt) and resistance-breaking (rb) p25 genes from diverse production regions of north america were character ...201020055646

infection of beet necrotic yellow vein virus with rna4-encoded p31 specifically up-regulates pathogenesis-related protein 10 in nicotiana benthamiana.beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) is the infectious agent of sugar beet rhizomania, which consists of four or five plus-sense rnas. rna4 of bnyvv is not essential for virus propagation in nicotiana benthamiana but has a major effect on symptom expression. early reports showed that rna4-encoded p31 was associated with severe symptoms, such as curling and dwarfing, in n. benthamiana.201424961274
proteomic profiling of sugar beet (beta vulgaris) leaves during rhizomania compatible interactions.rhizomania, caused by beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv), severely impacts sugar beet (beta vulgaris) production throughout the world, and is widely prevalent in most production regions. initial efforts to characterize proteome changes focused primarily on identifying putative host factors that elicit resistant interactions with bnyvv, but as resistance breaking strains become more prevalent, effective disease control strategies will require the application of novel methods based on better ...201428250378
deep sequencing-based transcriptome profiling reveals comprehensive insights into the responses of nicotiana benthamiana to beet necrotic yellow vein virus infections containing or lacking rna4.beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv), encodes either four or five plus-sense single stranded rnas and is the causal agent of sugar beet rhizomania disease, which is widely distributed in most regions of the world. bnyvv can also infect nicotiana benthamiana systemically, and causes severe curling and stunting symptoms in the presence of rna4 or mild symptoms in the absence of rna4.201424416380
transcriptome analysis of beta macrocarpa and identification of differentially expressed transcripts in response to beet necrotic yellow vein virus infection.rhizomania is one of the most devastating diseases of sugar beet. it is caused by beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) transmitted by the obligate root-infecting parasite polymyxa betae. beta macrocarpa, a wild beet species widely used as a systemic host in the laboratory, can be rub-inoculated with bnyvv to avoid variation associated with the presence of the vector p. betae. to better understand disease and resistance between beets and bnyvv, we characterized the transcriptome of b. macrocar ...201526196682
genetic diversity and population structure of beet necrotic yellow vein virus in china.beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) is a serious threat to the sugar beet industry worldwide. however, little information is available regarding the genetic diversity and population structure of bnyvv in china. here, we analyzed multiple sequences from four genomic regions (cp, rna3, rna4 and rna5) of a set of chinese isolates. sequence analyses revealed that several isolates were mixed infections of variants with different genotypes and/or different p25 tetrad motifs. in total, 12 distinct ...201525997927
new bnyvv p25 variants in belgium.rhizomania is a widespread viral plant disease of major importance in sugar beet cropping and breeding. it is caused by the beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv), a benyvirus transmitted by the soil inhabiting plasmodiophorid polymyxa betae. this vector also transmits other sugar beet virus such as beet virus q (bvq) and beet soil-borne virus (bsbv). despite identification of resistance genes, bnyvv remains a major constraint because of resistance-breaking events as well as its ability to surv ...201527141738
on the interaction and localization of the beet necrotic yellow vein virus replicase.beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) is a multipartite positive-strand rna virus. bnyvv rna-1 encodes a non-structural p237 polyprotein processed in two proteins (p150 and p66) by a cis-acting protease activity. bnyvv non-structural proteins are closely related to replication proteins of positive strand rna viruses such as hepeviruses rather to other plant virus replicases. the p237 and dsrna have been localized by tem in er structures of infected leaf cells whereas dsrna was immunolabeled in ...201525445349
a viral noncoding rna complements a weakened viral rna silencing suppressor and promotes efficient systemic host infection.systemic movement of beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) in beta macrocarpa depends on viral rna3, whereas in nicotiana benthamiana this rna is dispensable. rna3 contains a coremin motif of 20 nucleotides essential for the stabilization of noncoding rna3 (ncrna3) and for long-distance movement in beta species. coremin mutants that are unable to accumulate ncrna3 also do not achieve systemic movement in beta species. a mutant virus carrying a mutation in the p14 viral suppressor of rna silenc ...201627782046
development and evaluation of a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for detection of beet necrotic yellow vein virus.sugar beet can be infected by many different viruses that can reduce yield; beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) is one of the most economically important viruses of this crop plant. this report describes a new reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (rt-lamp) assay for identification of bnyvv. in addition, a novel immunocapture (ic) rt-lamp assay for rapid and easy detection (without rna extraction) of bnyvv was developed here and compared with das-elisa and rt-lamp assa ...201727738843
