| purification of filamentous plant viruses by thin layer centrifugation. | the construction of a modified thin layer ultracentrifuge rotor is described. this rotor was used in the purification of five filamentous plant viruses, viz. tmv, scmv, pvx, sgv and ymc. the purification and concentration of these viruses in their monomeric forms is hazardous when conventional "tube" rotors are used since they invariably result in dissociation and aggregation of the virus particles. using the thin layer rotor these infective agents may be concentrated in volumes of fluid equal t ... | 1975 | 1178651 |
| further studies on the use of protein a in immune electron microscopy for detecting virus particles. | the immune electron microscopic technique which involves pre-coating electron microscope grids with protein a before coating them with the specific antiserum, has been found suitable for detecting isometric insect and plant viruses. with the three virus-antibody combinations tested, the optimum antiserum dilution for protein a plus antiserum treatment was found to be 1:100 or less, whereas in the case of grids treated with antiserum alone it ranged from 1:1000 to 1:2000 although the titre of the ... | 1980 | 7014777 |
| coat protein of potyviruses. i. comparison of the four australian strains of sugarcane mosaic virus. | as an aid to a more rational classification of the potyvirus group, we have examined the molecular weight, amino acid composition, and tryptic peptide map of the coat protein of four australian sugarcane mosaic virus strains: johnson grass (jg), sugarcane (sc), queensland blue couch grass (bc), and sabi grass (sabi). the proteins migrated as a single band in sds-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with molecular weights of 33,700 (sc), 34,200 (jg), 39,100 (bc), and 40,300 (sabi). the bc and sabi ... | 1981 | 18635056 |
| towards a system for the identification and classification of potyviruses. ii. virus particle length, symptomatology, and cytopathology of six distinct viruses. | the mean particle lengths of lettuce mosaic virus (lmv), bean common mosaic virus (bcmv), passionfruit woodiness virus (pwv), potato virus y (pvy), sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv), and one strain of bean yellow mosaic virus (bymv) were all shown to be close to 750 nm. however, the length of two other serologically closely related strains of bymv, variants of pea mosaic virus referred to as pmv and spmv, had significantly longer particles, about 792 and 842 nm. each of the distinct viruses had read ... | 1981 | 18635068 |
| electro-blot radioimmunoassay of virus-infected plant sap - a powerful new technique for detecting plant viruses. | a new technique for detecting viruses in plant sap is described. it consists of sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the infected plant sap, electrophoretic transfer of protein bands to activated paper by the electro-blot technique, the subsequent probing of the viral coat protein band by specific antiserum (prepared against intact virus), and detection of immune complex with 125 i-labelled protein a. the technique successfully detected tobacco mosaic virus at a sap dilu ... | 1982 | 7061671 |
| protein counterparts of human and simian cytomegaloviruses. | cytomegalovirus (cmv) proteins from isolates of both human (hcmv) and simian (scmv) origin have been compared. three classes were analyzed: the immediate-early (ie) proteins, other infected-cell-specific proteins not present in virus particles, and the proteins that constitute the mature extracellular virion. comparisons were based on one- and two-dimensional (charge-size) separations in denaturing polyacrylamide gels, and on the selectivity of biosynthetic radiolabeling with [32p]orthophosphate ... | 1983 | 6310864 |
| detection of double-stranded rna by serologically specific electron microscopy. | details of a procedure for detecting double-stranded rna (dsrna) in virus and viroid infected tissue extracts using serologically specific electron microscopy are given. a method for staining dsrna, based on in situ formation of uranyl phosphate, that consistently permits the examination of dsrna by electron microscopy without shadowing with heavy metals, is described. the method provides for routine assays for dsrna in crude extracts without the variable results associated with shadowing proced ... | 1984 | 6530480 |
| the use of biotin-conjugated antisera in immunoassays for plant viruses. | biotin-conjugated antisera to two strains of sugarcane mosaic virus and erysimum latent virus were used to detect the viruses in extracts of infected plants. two methods, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and electroblot immunoassays, were used. the antisera were found to be sufficiently sensitive for detection of the viruses. virus strain specificities observed for the antisera agreed with those found using immunoelectron microscopy and electroblot immunoassay. the sensitivity of biotin conjug ... | 1986 | 3722310 |
| multiple tandemly repeated binding sites for cellular nuclear factor 1 that surround the major immediate-early promoters of simian and human cytomegalovirus. | we show that the large dna genomes of human and simian cytomegaloviruses (hcmv and scmv, respectively) each contain multiple binding sites for purified cellular nuclear factor 1 (nf1) protein. examination of the major immediate-early (ie) gene region in the hindiii h fragment of scmv (colburn) by filter binding assays showed that it competed 45-fold better than the single adenovirus type 2 binding site for nf1 protein and that it contained at least two distinct binding loci. direct dnase i footp ... | 1987 | 3033283 |
| coat protein of potyviruses. 5. symptomatology, serology, and coat protein sequences of three strains of passionfruit woodiness virus. | three strains of passionfruit woodiness virus, tip blight (pwv-tb), severe (pwv-s) and mild (pwv-m), were compared on the basis of their biological, serological and coat protein structural properties. each of the strains could be distinguished on the basis of their reactions on selected test plant species but no differences were observed in the serological properties of the three pwv strains. molecular weight estimates on sds-page suggest the pwv coat protein contains 275 amino acid residues and ... | 1988 | 3202695 |
| location, transcript analysis, and partial nucleotide sequence of the cytomegalovirus gene encoding an early dna-binding protein with similarities to icp8 of herpes simplex virus type 1. | the results presented here locate the gene encoding an early, nonvirion, single-stranded dna-binding protein of human and simian strains of cytomegalovirus (cmv) [hcmv(towne) db140 and scmv(colburn) db129, respectively] and provide additional evidence that this protein is the cmv homolog of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) major dna-binding protein (icp8), as proposed earlier (d. g. anders, a. irmiere, and w. gibson, j. virol. 58:253-262). the icp8 gene was used as a probe in southern ana ... | 1988 | 2831398 |
| nucleotide sequence of the 3'-terminal region of potato virus yn rna. | the sequence of the 3'-terminal 1611 nucleotides of the genome of the tobacco veinal necrosis strain of potato virus y (pvyn) was determined. the sequence revealed an open reading frame of 1285 nucleotides, of which the start was not identified, and an untranslated region of 316 nucleotides upstream of a poly(a) tract. comparison of the open reading frame with the amino-terminal sequence of the viral coat protein enabled mapping of the start of the coat protein at amino acid -267, and indicated ... | 1989 | 2732687 |
| the palindromic series i repeats in the simian cytomegalovirus major immediate-early promoter behave as both strong basal enhancers and cyclic amp response elements. | a 600-base-pair (bp) enhancer region upstream from the major ie94 gene of simian cytomegalovirus (scmv) produces very strong basal expression of associated gene products. this domain consists of multiple sets of interspersed repetitive elements, including 11 copies of a conserved 16-bp palindromic sequence with the consensus ccattgacgtcaatgg. these series i repeats contain an 8-bp core tgacgtca that resembles the cyclic amp (camp) response element (cre) of cellular genes. in transient chloramphe ... | 1990 | 2152815 |
| nematode interactions with weeds and sugarcane mosaic virus in louisiana sugarcane. | weeds did not appear to serve as reservoirs for phytophagous louisiana sugarcane nematode populations except for criconemella spp., meloidogyne spp., tylenchorhynchus annulatus, and total phytophagous nematode densities were lower on weed-stressed cane and were accompanied by reduced accumulations of free cysteine, proline, and 13 other free amino acids in sugarcane. a significant weed-virus interaction for sugarcane free cysteine accumulation was detected; t. annulatus populations were highly c ... | 1990 | 19287686 |
| unexpected sequence diversity in the amino-terminal ends of the coat proteins of strains of sugarcane mosaic virus. | the sequence of the 3'-terminal 1343 nucleotides of the sc strain of the sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv-sc) genome was compared with the 1376 nucleotides at the 3' terminus of maize dwarf mosaic virus b (mdmv-b). the scmv-sc sequence includes an open reading frame which codes for the viral coat protein of 313 amino acids (nucleotides 157 to 1116), followed by a 3' non-coding region of 235 nucleotides and a poly(a) tail. the mdmv-b sequence codes for the capsid protein (nucleotides 157 to 1139) of ... | 1991 | 1993866 |
| differentiation of the four viruses of the sugarcane mosaic virus subgroup based on cytopathology. | a cytological comparison has been made of representative isolates of johnsongrass mosaic (jgmv), maize dwarf mosaic (mdmv), sorghum mosaic (srmv) and sugarcane mosaic (scmv) viruses. these four viruses now encompass the complex of virus strains which were formerly considered as strains of sugarcane mosaic and/or maize dwarf mosaic viruses. the structure of the cytoplasmic cylindrical inclusions induced by these viruses, together with other cytological alterations, allow the four viruses to be di ... | 1992 | 1450762 |
| present status of the sugarcane mosaic subgroup of potyviruses. | until recently, sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) was believed to be a single potyvirus consisting of a large number of strains, differing from each other in certain biological and antigenic properties. the use of affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies directed towards the surface-located, virus-specific amino termini of the coat proteins showed that 17 strains from australia and the united states represented four distinct potyviruses, namely johnsongrass mosaic virus (jgmv), maize dwarf mosaic vir ... | 1992 | 1450763 |
| differentiation of potyviruses and their strains by hybridization with the 3' non-coding region of the viral genome. | nucleic acid hybridization with the 3' non-coding region of the potyvirus genome as the probe was shown to be a relatively simple means of distinguishing between distinct potyviruses and their strains. comparisons of the nucleotide sequences of potyvirus genomes (ignoring gaps) showed that the degree of identity between equivalent genes of strains was greater than 96%, while between distinct potyviruses the identity ranged from 42% to 65%, suggesting that any extended sequence could be considere ... | 1992 | 1551936 |
| nucleotide sequence of the 3'-terminal region of potato virus a rna. | the sequence of the 3'-terminal region of the genome of the potato virus a (pva) was obtained from two independent cdna clones. this sequence is 1383 nucleotides long and contains an open reading frame of 1178 nucleotides, ending with the translation termination codon taa and followed by untranslated region of 205 nucleotides. since the n-terminal amino acid of the coat protein of pva was blocked, the position of the putative coat protein cleavage site has been deduced by searching for consensus ... | 1992 | 1604933 |
| transient expression of the coat protein of sugarcane mosaic virus in sugarcane protoplasts and expression in escherichia coli. | the coat protein (cp) of strain sc of sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv-sc) was expressed transiently in sugarcane protoplasts after electroporation with one of two plasmids encoding the cp gene. the cp gene was fused with either the cauliflower mosaic virus 35s promoter or the synthetic monocotyledon promoter "emu". the coat protein gene was also inducibly expressed in escherichia coli when fused to the trc promoter. the protein expressed in both systems had the same electrophoretic mobility and ant ... | 1992 | 1642548 |
| sequence diversity in the surface-exposed amino-terminal region of the coat proteins of seven strains of sugarcane mosaic virus correlates with their host range. | the n-terminal region of the coat proteins of five strains (isis, brisbane, sabi, bundaberg, and bc) of sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) isolated from four different plant species (sugarcane, sabi grass, wild sorghum, and blue couch grass) have been compared with the previously published data for scmv-sc and scmv-mdb, isolated from sugarcane and maize, respectively. the region, beginning at residue 11 and ending 16 residues beyond the second trypsin cleavage site of the coat protein, varied in size ... | 1993 | 8379856 |
| identification of a large bent dna domain and binding sites for serum response factor adjacent to the nfi repeat cluster and enhancer region in the major ie94 promoter from simian cytomegalovirus. | the major immediate-early (mie) transactivator proteins of cytomegaloviruses (cmv) play a pivotal role in the initiation of virus-host cell interactions. therefore, cis- and trans-acting factors influencing the expression of these proteins through their upstream promoter-enhancer regions are important determinants of the outcome of virus infection. s1 nuclease analysis and in vitro transcription assays with the mie (or ie94) transcription unit of simian cmv (scmv) (colburn) revealed a single pro ... | 1993 | 8380090 |
| monitoring fusion protein cleavage by capillary electrophoresis. | capillary electrophoresis was successfully utilized to monitor the proteolytic cleavage of two fusion proteins; maltose binding protein-sugarcane mosaic potyvirus coat protein and maltose binding protein-paramyosin. the course of proteolysis by factor xa was monitored with high sensitivity and virtually in real time. capillary electrophoresis conditions were optimized to clearly resolve the fusion proteins, factor xa, lysis products and buffer components. rapid elucidation of time to complete di ... | 1993 | 8424876 |
| comparison of the czech scrophularia isolate with the italian anagyris strain of scrophularia mottle virus. | scrophularia mottle virus (scmv) was newly found in the czech republic in scrophularia nodosa l. plants. the czech isolate (scmv-c) was serologically identical and similar in symptoms and host range to the italian anagyris strain (scmv-i). nicotiana tabacum l. cv. samsun, nicotiana glutinosa l., nicotiana tabacum l. cv. white burley, physalis floridana rybd. and cucumis sativus l. are described as new host plants of scmv. double-stranded rna patterns and the isoelectric point of this virus are c ... | 1994 | 8067309 |
| african green monkey origin of the atypical cytopathic 'stealth virus' isolated from a patient with chronic fatigue syndrome. | a cytomegalovirus-like 'stealth virus' had previously been isolated from a patient with the chronic fatigue syndrome (cfs). | 1995 | 15566831 |
| expression, purification, and use as an antigen of recombinant sugarcane mosaic virus coat protein. | a high titre (1:10,000) antiserum was raised in a rabbit against the coat protein of sugarcane mosaic potyvirus (scmv), by injecting a preparation of recombinant coat protein purified from a fusion protein expressed in e. coli. the fusion protein consisted of the male maltose binding protein (mbp) and the viral coat protein separated by the protease factor xa cleavage site. the fusion protein was encoded by the plasmid pmal-ccpm, which was constructed by cloning a modified coat protein gene to t ... | 1995 | 7503681 |
| human cytomegalovirus proteinase: candidate glutamic acid identified as third member of putative active-site triad. | the human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) proteinase is synthesized as a 709-amino-acid precursor that undergoes at least three autoproteolytic cleavages. the mature proteinase, called assemblin, is one of the products of autoproteolysis and is composed of the first 256 amino acids of the precursor. hcmv assemblin and its homologs in other herpes group viruses contain five highly conserved domains (cd1 through cd5). an absolutely conserved serine in cd3 has been shown by site-directed mutagenesis of the ... | 1995 | 7769716 |
| cytomegalovirus protein substrates are not cleaved by the herpes simplex virus type 1 proteinase. | the herpesvirus maturational proteinase, assemblin, is made as a precursor that undergoes at least two autoproteolytic cleavages--one in a sequence toward its carboxyl end, called the maturational (m) site, and one in a sequence toward its midpoint, called the release (r) site. the m- and r-site sequences are both well conserved among the herpesvirus proteinase homologs, suggesting that the proteinase of one herpesvirus might be able to cleave the substrates of another. to test this possibility, ... | 1995 | 7983728 |
| simian cytomegalovirus-related stealth virus isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with bipolar psychosis and acute encephalopathy. | a cytopathic 'stealth' virus was cultured from the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with a bipolar psychotic disorder who developed a severe encephalopathy leading to a vegetative state. dna sequencing of a polymerase chain reaction-amplified product from infected cultures has identified the virus as an african green monkey simian cytomegalovirus (scmv)-related stealth virus. the virus is similar to the scmv-related stealth virus isolated from a patient with chronic fatigue syndrome. the finding ... | 1996 | 8888270 |
| cytomegalovirus "missing" capsid protein identified as heat-aggregable product of human cytomegalovirus ul46. | capsids of human and simian strains of cytomegalovirus (hcmv and scmv, respectively) have identified counterparts for all but one of the protein components of herpes simplex virus (hsv) capsids. the open reading frames (orfs) for the cmv and hsv counterpart proteins are positionally homologous in the two genomes. the hsv capsid protein without a recognized counterpart in cmv is vp19c, a 50-kda element of the intercapsomeric "triplex." vp19c is encoded by hsv orf ul38, whose positional homolog in ... | 1996 | 8892863 |
| synergistic interactions between overlapping binding sites for the serum response factor and elk-1 proteins mediate both basal enhancement and phorbol ester responsiveness of primate cytomegalovirus major immediate-early promoters in monocyte and t-lymphocyte cell types. | cytomegalovirus (cmv) infection is nonpermissive or persistent in many lymphoid and myeloid cell types but can be activated in differentiated macrophages. we have shown elsewhere that both the major immediate-early gene (mie) and lytic cycle infectious progeny virus expression can be induced in otherwise nonpermissive monocyte-like u-937 cell cultures infected with either human cmv (hcmv) or simian cmv (scmv) by treatment with the phorbol ester 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (tpa). two mul ... | 1996 | 8970984 |
| sequence diversity in the nib coding region of eight sugarcane mosaic potyvirus isolates infecting sugarcane in australia. | we have sequenced the nib coding region of sugarcane mosaic potyvirus strain sc (scmv-sc) and eight field isolates of scmv from australia. this region comprised 1563 nucleotides and encoded a putative protein of 521 amino acids containing the consensus motif gdd. the protease cleavage sites between the nia/nib and the nib/coat protein were found to be q/c and q/a, respectively. the scmv sequences were most similar to sorghum mosaic potyvirus with identities of 70% and 78% at the nucleotide and a ... | 1996 | 9526537 |
| human cytomegalovirus capsid assembly protein precursor (pul80.5) interacts with itself and with the major capsid protein (pul86) through two different domains. | we have used the yeast gal4 two-hybrid system to examine interactions between the human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) major capsid protein (mcp, encoded by ul86) and the precursor assembly protein (pap, encoded by ul80.5 and cleaved at its carboxyl end to yield ap) and found that (i) the pap interacts with the mcp through residues located within the carboxy-terminal 21 amino acids of the pap, called the carboxyl conserved domain (ccd); (ii) the pap interacts with itself through a separate region, calle ... | 1997 | 8985337 |
| sequence comparison of the 3'-terminal parts of the rna of four german isolates of sugarcane mosaic potyvirus (scmv). | the 3'-termini of the genome of four german isolates of sugarcane mosaic potyvirus (scmv) were cloned and sequenced. the sequence data covered the 3' non-coding region (3'ncr), coat protein and part of the nuclear inclusion b (nib) genes of the isolates. comparisons of the sequences revealed that the investigated isolates are very closely related. an alignment of the predicted coat protein amino acid sequences of the german isolates with sequence data for other members of the scmv subgroup, in p ... | 1997 | 9170496 |
| sequence and relationships of sugarcane mosaic and sorghum mosaic virus strains and development of rt-pcr-based rflps for strain discrimination. | abstract sugarcane mosaic is the most widespread virus disease affecting sugarcane production. we have established a collection of seven prominent sugarcane mosaic potyvirus (scmv) strains currently causing disease in sugarcane throughout the world and originally found in sugarcane in the united states. this collection includes scmv strains a, b, d, and e, and the sorghum mosaic virus (srmv) strains sch, sci, and scm. these viruses were propagated on sorghum bicolor cv. rio and purified. cloned ... | 1997 | 18945064 |
| sequence diversity in the coat protein coding region of twelve sugarcane mosaic potyvirus isolates from australia, usa and south africa. | we have sequenced the coat protein (cp) coding region of 11 field isolates of scmv from australia, usa and south africa. the differences between the nucleotide sequences of the isolates was 0.2 to 4.1% and the encoded amino acid sequences differed by 0.0 to 3.5%. phylogenetic analysis of the cp coding sequences of the scmv isolates and the related potyviruses scmv-mdb, jgmv, srmv, mdmv-a and pvy showed that the scmv isolates formed a tightly clustered group, with scmv-mdb forming a separate bran ... | 1998 | 9687871 |
| capsid structure of simian cytomegalovirus from cryoelectron microscopy: evidence for tegument attachment sites. | we have used cryoelectron microscopy and image reconstruction to study b-capsids recovered from both the nuclear and the cytoplasmic fractions of cells infected with simian cytomegalovirus (scmv). scmv, a representative betaherpesvirus, could thus be compared with the previously described b-capsids of the alphaherpesviruses, herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and equine herpesvirus 1 (ehv-1), and of channel catfish virus, an evolutionarily remote herpesvirus. nuclear b-capsid architecture is ge ... | 1999 | 9971801 |
| high-resolution mapping of loci conferring resistance to sugarcane mosaic virus in maize using rflp, ssr, and aflp markers. | sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) is one of the most important virus diseases of maize in europe. genetic analysis on backcross five (bc5) progeny derived from the cross fap1360a (resistant) x f7 (susceptible) confirmed that at least two dominant genes, scm1 and scm2, are required for resistance to scmv in the progeny of this cross. with the aid of rflp and ssr marker analyses, scm1 was mapped in the region of 8.7 cm between the nucleolus organizer region (nor) and rflp marker bnl6.29 on the short a ... | 1999 | 10323240 |
| melanoma growth stimulatory activity (mgsa/gro-alpha) chemokine genes incorporated into an african green monkey simian cytomegalovirus-derived stealth virus. | dna isolated from the culture of an african green monkey simian cytomegalovirus (scmv)-derived stealth virus has been cloned. a region of the virus that contains genes coding proteins homologous to the ul141, ul144, and ul145 proteins of human cytomegalovirus has recombined with cellular sequences encoding several distinct copies of the melanoma growth stimulatory activity (mgsa/gro-alpha) chemokine gene. this finding illustrates the capacity of stealth viruses to capture, amplify, and mutate ge ... | 1999 | 10331960 |
| quantitative trait loci mapping of resistance to sugarcane mosaic virus in maize. | abstract sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) is an important virus disease of maize (zea mays) in europe. in this study, we mapped and characterized quantitative trait loci (qtl) affecting resistance to scmv in a maize population consisting of 219 f(3) or immortalized f(2) families from the cross of two european maize inbreds, d32 (resistant) x d145 (susceptible). resistance was evaluated in replicated field trials across two environments under artificial inoculation. the method of composite interval ... | 1999 | 18944678 |
| characterization of a novel potyvirus isolated from maize in israel. | a potyvirus (proposed name of zea mosaic virus [zemv]) isolated from maize in israel was analyzed by serology, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page) of capsid proteins, symptomatology, and sequencing. parts of the nuclear inclusion b, coat protein, and 3' regions were sequenced; the amino acid sequence of zemv capsid was determined by time-of-flight mass spectrometry (tofms). the results of these analyses were compared with those of similar analyses of the followin ... | 2000 | 18944557 |
| molecular characterization of a new potyvirus infecting sunflower. | we have sequenced 1873 nucleotides from the 3'-end region of a sunflower potyvirus genome including the 3'-nib protein coding region (813 nucleotides), the entire coat protein coding region (807 nucleotides) and 3'-ncr (253 nucleotides), excluding the poly (a) tail. amino acids identity of the whole cp between the sunflower virus and potyvirus members ranged from 49.5% (scmv) to 81.5% (pvy-nsnr), and the core ranged from 55% (tvmv) to 87% (pvy-nsnr; pepmov). the 3'-ncr nucleotides showed 38.7% h ... | 2000 | 11205115 |
| a universal pcr primer to detect members of the potyviridae and its use to examine the taxonomic status of several members of the family. | a universal primer (sprimer: 5'-ggx aay aay agy ggx caz cc-3', x = a, g, c or t; y = t or c; z = a or g), designed from the consensus sequences that code for the conserved sequence gnnsgqp in the nib region of members of the family potyviridae, was used to amplify by rt-pcr the 3'-terminal genome regions from infected plant samples representing 21 different viruses in the family. sequencing of some of the fragments (c. 1.7 kb) showed that the type strain (attc pv-107) of oat necrotic mottle viru ... | 2001 | 11402861 |
| characterisation of potyviruses from sugarcane and maize in china. | sugarcane or maize leaves with mosaic virus symptoms were collected from 13 sites in china. sequence data showed that all 8 samples from maize contained sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv); complete sequences were determined from 2 samples and partial sequences (the ci coding region and the 3'-part of the genome) from the others. the 5 sugarcane samples all contained a virus tentatively described as sorghum mosaic virus (srmv) and in three of them scmv was also detected; 2 srmv sequences and the 3 scm ... | 2002 | 12111432 |
| maize dwarf mosaic disease in different regions of china is caused by sugarcane mosaic virus. | sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) was detected in all 62 maize samples collected from eight maize-growing provinces in china showing dwarf mosaic symptoms by immunocapture reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr). maize dwarf mosaic virus (mdmv), sorghum mosaic virus (srmv) and johnsongrass mosaic virus (jgmv), however, were not detected in any of the samples by rt-pcr. eleven cdna fragments of approximately 0.8 kilobases covering most of the coat protein (cp) gene of scmv were seque ... | 2002 | 12491109 |
| the complete sequence of a sugarcane mosaic virus isolate causing maize dwarf mosaic disease in china. | the complete sequence of a potyvirus from maize in zhejiang province was determined. the rna was 9596 nucleotides long, excluding the 3'-poly (a) tail, and there was a single long open reading frame (orf) of 9192 nts encoding a 346.1 ku polyprotein. the polyprotein had substantial amino acid sequence homology with those encoded by the rnas of a chinese isolate of sorghum mosaic virus (srmv-c) and a bulgarian isolate of maize dwarf mosaic virus, but it was most closely related to sugarcane mosaic ... | 2002 | 18759055 |
| development of rga-caps markers and genetic mapping of candidate genes for sugarcane mosaic virus resistance in maize. | three previously published resistance gene analogues (rgas), pic13, pic21 and pic19, were mapped in relation to sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) resistance genes ( scmv1, scmv2) in maize. we cloned these rgas from six inbreds including three scmv-resistant lines (d21, d32, fap1360a) and three scmv-susceptible lines (d145, d408, f7). pairwise sequence alignments among the six inbreds revealed a frequency of one single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) per 33 bp for the three rgas, indicating a high degr ... | 2002 | 12582538 |
| conversion of aflp fragments tightly linked to scmv resistance genes scmv1 and scmv2 into simple pcr-based markers. | in a previous study, bulked segregant analysis with amplified fragment length polymorphisms (aflps) identified several markers closely linked to the sugarcane mosaic virus resistance genes scmv1 on chromosome 6 and scmv2 on chromosome 3. six aflp markers (e33m61-2, e33m52, e38m51, e82m57, e84m59 and e93m53) were located on chromosome 3 and two markers (e33m61-1 and e35m62-1) on chromosome 6. our objective in the present study was to sequence the respective aflp bands in order to convert these do ... | 2002 | 12582898 |
| saturation of two chromosome regions conferring resistance to scmv with ssr and aflp markers by targeted bsa. | quantitative trait loci (qtls) and bulked segregant analyses (bsa) identified the major genes scmv1 on chromosome 6 and scmv2 on chromosome 3, conferring resistance against sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) in maize. both chromosome regions were further enriched for ssr and aflp markers by targeted bulked segregant analysis (tbsa) in order to identify and map only markers closely linked to either scmv1 or scmv2. for identification of markers closely linked to the target genes, symptomless individual ... | 2003 | 12589549 |
