| emergence of new strains of watermelon mosaic virus in south-eastern france: evidence for limited spread but rapid local population shift. | severe symptoms caused by watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) in zucchini squash leaves and fruits have been observed since 1999 in south-eastern (se) france. their appearance correlates with the introduction of new, "emerging" (em) isolates distant at the molecular level from the "classic" (cl) isolates present for more than 30 years. to understand the origin and spread of em isolates, a survey was performed between 2004 and 2007. wmv isolates collected were characterized by sequencing part of the po ... | 2009 | 19152813 |
| evaluation and application of a luciferase fusion system for rapid in vivo analysis of rnai targets and constructs in plants. | the practical use of rna-mediated approaches including antisense rna, ribozymes and sirnas for specific inhibition of gene expression is limited by lack of simple quantitative methods to rapidly test efficacy in vivo. there have been indications that cotransfer of target::reporter gene fusions with constructs designed against the target sequence, followed by quantification of transient reporter gene activity might be effective. here, we report detailed testing of the approach in plants, using di ... | 2010 | 20102531 |
| asymmetrical over-infection as a process of plant virus emergence. | disentangling the role of epidemiological factors in plant pathogen emergences is a prerequisite to identify the most likely future invaders. an example of emergence was recently observed in france: in 10 years, "classic" (cl) strains of watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) were displaced at a regional scale by newly introduced "emerging" (em) strains. here we analyse a 3 years dataset describing the co-dynamics of cl and em strains at field scale using state-space models estimating jointly: (i) probab ... | 2010 | 20435046 |
| barriers to gene flow between emerging populations of watermelon mosaic virus in southeastern france. | since 1999, "emerging" (em) strains of watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) have been detected in cucurbit crops of southeastern france, probably as a result of recent introductions. population genetic approaches were used to study the structure of em isolates in southeastern france and to identify factors involved in their spatial distribution. a population clustering method (samova) and a maximum-difference algorithm (monmonier's algorithm) were combined to visualize and quantify barriers to gene flo ... | 2010 | 20879843 |
| toward a quarter century of pathogen-derived resistance and practical approaches to plant virus disease control. | the concept of pathogen-derived resistance (pdr) describes the use of genetic elements from a pathogen's own genome to confer resistance in an otherwise susceptible host via genetic engineering [j. theor. biol. 113 (1985) 395]. illustrated with the bacteriophage qbeta in escherichia coli, this strategy was conceived as a broadly applicable approach to engineer resistance against pathogens. for plant viruses, the concept of pdr was validated with the creation of tobacco plants expressing the coat ... | 2010 | 20109666 |
| recombination in natural populations of watermelon mosaic virus: new agronomic threat or damp squib? | since their introduction in south-eastern france around 1999, new, 'emerging' (em) strains of watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) coexist with the 'classic' (cl) strains present for more than 40 years. this situation constitutes a unique opportunity to estimate the frequency of recombinants appearing in the few years following introduction of new strains of a plant rna virus. molecular analyses performed on more than 1000 isolates from epidemiological surveys (2004-2008) and from experimental plots (2 ... | 2011 | 21471312 |
| search for factors involved in the rapid shift in watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) populations in south-eastern france. | watermelon mosaic virus (wmv, genus potyvirus, family potyviridae) was reported for the first time in france in 1974, and it is now the most prevalent virus in cucurbit crops. in 2000, new strains referred as 'emerging' (em) strains were detected in south-eastern france. em strains are generally more severe and phylogenetically distinct from those previously reported in this country and referred as 'classic' (cl) strains. since 2000, em strains have been progressively replacing cl strains in sev ... | 2011 | 21605606 |
| development of transgenic watermelon resistant to cucumber mosaic virus and watermelon mosaic virus by using a single chimeric transgene construct. | watermelon, an important fruit crop worldwide, is prone to attack by several viruses that often results in destructive yield loss. to develop a transgenic watermelon resistant to multiple virus infection, a single chimeric transgene comprising a silencer dna from the partial n gene of watermelon silver mottle virus (wsmov) fused to the partial coat protein (cp) gene sequences of cucumber mosaic virus (cmv), cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (cgmmv) and watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) was construc ... | 2011 | 22203520 |
| simple sequence repeat markers linked to qtl for resistance to watermelon mosaic virus in melon. | a population of recombinant inbred lines (ril) derived from a cross between the watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) resistant genotype tgr-1551 and the susceptible spanish cultivar 'bola de oro' has been evaluated for wmv resistance in spring, fall and growth chamber conditions. the quantitative trait loci (qtl) analyses detected one major qtl (wmv) on linkage group (lg) xi close to the microsatellite marker cmn04_35. this qtl controls the resistance to wmv in the three environmental conditions evalua ... | 2011 | 21811820 |
| melon rna interference (rnai) lines silenced for cm-eif4e show broad virus resistance. | efficient and sustainable control of plant viruses may be achieved using genetically resistant crop varieties, although resistance genes are not always available for each pathogen; in this regard, the identification of new genes that are able to confer broad-spectrum and durable resistance is highly desirable. recently, the cloning and characterization of recessive resistance genes from different plant species has pointed towards eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eif) of the 4e family a ... | 2012 | 22309030 |
| a simple, rapid and efficient way to obtain infectious clones of potyviruses. | the availability of an infectious cdna clone is a prerequisite for genetic studies on rna viruses. however, despite important improvement in molecular biology techniques during the last decades, obtaining such clones often remains tedious, time-consuming and rather unpredictable. in the case of potyviruses, cdna clones are frequently unstable due to the toxicity of some viral proteins for bacteria. the problem can be overcome by inserting introns into the viral sequence but this requires additio ... | 2012 | 22498260 |
| microarray analysis shows that recessive resistance to watermelon mosaic virus in melon is associated with the induction of defense response genes. | resistance to watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) in melon (cucumis melo l.) accession tgr-1551 is characterized by a significant reduction in virus titer, and is inherited as a recessive, loss-of-susceptibility allele. we measured virus rna accumulation in tgr-1551 plants and a susceptible control ('tendral') by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and also profiled the expression of 17,443 unigenes represented on a melon microarray over a 15-day time course. the virus accumulated to hig ... | 2012 | 21970693 |
| serological and molecular studies of a novel virus isolate causing yellow mosaic of patchouli [pogostemon cablin (blanco) benth]. | here we have identified and characterized a devastating virus capable of inducing yellow mosaic on the leaves of patchouli [pogostemon cablin (blanco) benth]. the diagnostic tools used were host range, transmission studies, cytopathology, electron microscopy, serology and partial coat protein (cp) gene sequencing. evidence from biological, serological and sequence data suggested that the causal virus belonged to genus potyvirus, family potyviridae. the isolate, designated as patchouli yellow mos ... | 2013 | 24386278 |
| outcomes of co-infection by two potyviruses: implications for the evolution of manipulative strategies. | recent studies have documented effects of plant viruses on host plants that appear to enhance transmission by insect vectors. but, almost no empirical work has explored the implications of such apparent manipulation for interactions among co-infecting pathogens. we examined single and mixed infections of two potyviruses, watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) and zucchini yellow mosaic virus (zymv), that frequently co-occur in cucurbitaceae populations and share the same aphid vectors. we found that zymv ... | 2013 | 23407835 |
| cloning of the arabidopsis rwm1 gene for resistance to watermelon mosaic virus points to a new function for natural virus resistance genes. | arabidopsis thaliana represents a valuable and efficient model to understand mechanisms underlying plant susceptibility to viral diseases. here, we describe the identification and molecular cloning of a new gene responsible for recessive resistance to several isolates of watermelon mosaic virus (wmv, genus potyvirus) in the arabidopsis cvi-0 accession. rwm1 acts at an early stage of infection by impairing viral accumulation in initially infected leaf tissues. map-based cloning delimited rwm1 on ... | 2014 | 24930633 |
| comparative molecular epidemiology provides new insights into zucchini yellow mosaic virus occurrence in france. | zucchini yellow mosaic virus (zymv, genus potyvirus) causes important crop losses in cucurbits worldwide. in france, zymv epidemics are sporadic but occasionally very severe. this contrasts with watermelon mosaic virus (wmv, genus potyvirus) which causes regular and early epidemics. factors influencing zymv epidemiology are still poorly understood. in order to gain new insights on the ecology and epidemiology of this virus, a 5-year multilocation trial was conducted in which zymv spread and popu ... | 2014 | 24486486 |
| small rna profiles from virus-infected fresh market vegetables. | functional small rnas, such as short interfering rnas (sirnas) and micrornas (mirnas), exist in freshly consumed fruits and vegetables. these sirnas can be derived either from endogenous sequences or from viruses that infect them. symptomatic tomatoes, watermelons, zucchini, and onions were purchased from grocery stores and investigated by small rna sequencing. by aligning the obtained small rna sequences to sequences of known viruses, four different viruses were identified as infecting these fr ... | 2014 | 25389086 |
| a short motif in the n-terminal part of the coat protein is a host-specific determinant of systemic infectivity for two potyviruses. | although the biological variability of watermelon mosaic virus is limited, isolates from the three main molecular groups differ in their ability to infect systemically chenopodium quinoa. mutations were introduced in a motif of three or five amino acids located in the n-terminal part of the coat protein, and differing in isolates from group 1 (motif: lysine-glutamic acid-alanine (lys-glu-ala) or kea, systemic on c. quinoa), group 2 (lys-glu-thr or ket, not systemic on c. quinoa) and group 3 (kek ... | 2014 | 24118745 |
| simultaneous multiplex pcr detection of seven cucurbit-infecting viruses. | two multiplex polymerase chain reaction (pcr) systems using dual priming oligonucleotide (dpo) primers were developed for the simultaneous detection of seven cucurbit-infecting viruses. one system allows for the detection of papaya ringspot virus, watermelon mosaic virus, and zucchini yellow mosaic virus, whereas the other permits the detection of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus, cucumber fruit mottle mosaic virus, kyuri green mottle mosaic virus, and zucchini green mottle mosaic virus. viral ... | 2014 | 24937806 |
| recombinant soybean mosaic virus is prevalent in chinese soybean fields. | recombinant soybean mosaic virus (smv-r) is a novel strain that has recently been identified. smv-r was first isolated from chongqing, china, and exhibits different pathogenicity on soybeans and common beans compared with normal soybean mosaic virus (smv-n). smv-r arose from a recombination event between smv and bean common mosaic virus (bcmv) or a bcmv-like virus. in this study, we assessed the prevalence of smv-r in chinese soybean fields. polymerase chain reaction results showed that smv-r wa ... | 2014 | 24445813 |
| differential life history trait associations of aphids with nonpersistent viruses in cucurbits. | the diversity of vectors and fleeting nature of virus acquisition and transmission renders nonpersistent viruses a challenge to manage. we assessed the importance of noncolonizing versus colonizing vectors with a 2-yr survey of aphids and nonpersistent viruses on commercial pumpkin farms. we quantified aphid alightment using pan traps, while testing leaf samples with multiplex rt-pcr targeting cucumber mosaic virus (cmv), zucchini yellow mosaic virus (zymv), watermelon mosaic virus (wmv), and pa ... | 2015 | 26313961 |
| antiviral activity of thuja orientalis extracts against watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) on citrullus lanatus. | watermelon mosaic potyvirus (wmv) is considered as an important virus infecting watermelon and causing adverse effects on crop productivity. to overcome this problem one of the main objectives of plant breeders is to make these strains less effective in the ability to infect plants by treatment with plant extracts. due to the advantages of plant tissue culture, in vitro, in the process of the selection of different cultivars under biotic stress, this study was conducted to achieve this aim by ev ... | 2015 | 25737655 |
| potyviruses differ in their requirement for tor signalling. | potyviruses are important plant pathogens that rely on many plant cellular processes for successful infection. tor (target of rapamycin) signalling is a key eukaryotic energy-signalling pathway controlling many cellular processes such as translation and autophagy. the dependence of potyviruses on active tor signalling was examined. arabidopsis lines downregulated for tor by rnai were challenged with the potyviruses watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) and turnip mosaic virus (tumv). wmv accumulation wa ... | 2015 | 25979731 |
| first complete genome sequence of a watermelon mosaic virus isolated from watermelon in the united states. | watermelon mosaic virus was first reported in 1965 from the rio grande valley, tx. we report here the first complete genome sequence of a watermelon mosaic virus isolate from watermelon collected from the rio grande valley of texas. | 2016 | 27103724 |
| capsicum annum, a new host of watermelon mosaic virus. | the occurrence of watermelon mosaic virus (wmv) in sweet pepper (capsicum annuum l.) in kurdistan province, iran was confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) and partial characterization of coat protein. to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of wmv infecting c. annuum, adding a new host to list of more than 170 species infected by this virus. | 2016 | 26925452 |
| zucchini shoestring virus: a distinct potyvirus in the papaya ringspot virus cluster. | zucchini shoestring virus (zssv) has been proposed to be a putative potyvirus in the papaya ringspot virus (prsv) cluster, based on the sequence similarity of its coat protein to those of related potyviruses. zssv has been associated with the outbreak of a damaging disease of baby marrow (cucurbita pepo l.) that had been observed throughout the province of kwazulu-natal, in the republic of south africa (rsa). we report the genome sequence of zssv, determined by next-generation sequencing of tota ... | 2016 | 27216927 |
| genome sequence analysis of two south african isolates of moroccan watermelon mosaic virus infecting cucurbits. | moroccan watermelon mosaic virus (mwmv) has been prevalent in cucurbits in the republic of south africa (rsa) since it was first reported in 1987. however, full genome studies of the south african isolates have never been conducted previously. the full genome of two mwmv isolates infecting cucurbits (cucurbita pepo l.) in the province of kwazulu-natal, rsa, was compared with the genome of the tunisian isolate in this communication. the genome sequences of the rsa mwmv isolates were elucidated us ... | 2016 | 27448681 |
| identification and characterisation of dof transcription factors in the cucumber genome. | cucumber is vulnerable to many foliage diseases. recent studies reported cloning of candidate genes for several diseases in cucumber; however, the exact defence mechanisms remain unclear. dof genes have been shown to play significant roles in plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. dof genes coding for plant-specific transcription factors can promote large-scale expression of defence-related genes at whole genome level. the genes in the family have been identifie ... | 2016 | 26979661 |
| transcriptomic profiling of melon necrotic spot virus-infected melon plants revealed virus strain and plant cultivar-specific alterations. | viruses are among the most destructive and difficult to control plant pathogens. melon (cucumis melo l.) has become the model species for the agriculturally important cucurbitaceae family. approaches that take advantage of recently developed genomic tools in melon have been extremely useful for understanding viral pathogenesis and can contribute to the identification of target genes for breeding new resistant cultivars. in this work, we have used a recently described melon microarray for transcr ... | 2016 | 27267368 |
| characterization of a soybean mosaic virus variant causing different diseases in glycine max and nicotiana benthamiana. | we discovered a soybean mosaic virus (smv) variant (4278-1) that caused systemic infections in nicotiana benthamiana plants, resulting in stem stunting and leaf shriveling. the virus had a particle morphology and incubation period similar to those of other smv isolates but differed from them in the leaf symptoms it caused when infecting soybean and n. benthamiana. the genome of this variant consisted of a 9994-nt single-stranded rna, which was different from most of the other known smv isolates ... | 2017 | 27804020 |
| robust rnai-mediated resistance to infection of seven potyvirids in soybean expressing an intron hairpin nib rna. | viral pathogens, such as soybean mosaic virus (smv), are a major constraint in soybean production and often cause significant yield loss and quality deterioration. engineering resistance by rnai-mediated gene silencing is a powerful strategy for controlling viral diseases. in this study, a 248-bp inverted repeat of the replicase (nuclear inclusion b, nib) gene was isolated from the smv sc3 strain, driven by the leaf-specific rbcs2 promoter from phaseolus vulgaris, and introduced into soybean. th ... | 2017 | 28840434 |
| rnai-mediated smv p3 cistron silencing confers significantly enhanced resistance to multiple potyvirus strains and isolates in transgenic soybean. | robust rnai-mediated resistance to multiple potyvirus strains and isolates, but not to secovirus bpmv, was conferred by expressing a short smv p3 hairpin in soybean plants. engineering resistance to multiple potyvirus strains is of great interest because of a wide variability of the virus strains, and mixed infections of multiple viruses or strains commonly associated with field grown soybean. in this study, rnai-mediated silencing of the soybean mosaic virus (smv) p3 cistron, which is reported ... | 2017 | 28756582 |
| impact of vat resistance in melon on viral epidemics and genetic structure of virus populations. | cultivar choice is at the heart of cropping systems and resistant cultivars should be at the heart of disease management strategies whenever available. they are the easiest, most efficient and environmentally friendly way of combating viral diseases at the farm level. among the melon genetic resources, vat is a unique gene conferring resistance to both the melon aphid aphis gossypii and the viruses it carries. the 'virus side' of this pleiotropic phenotype is seldom regarded as an asset for viru ... | 2017 | 28587865 |
| new species in the papaya ringspot virus cluster: insights into the evolution of the prsv lineage. | the "papaya ringspot virus (prsv) cluster" of cucurbit-infecting potyviruses contains five acknowledged species that have similar biological, serological and molecular properties. additional data suggest there are other uncharacterized species from various locations in the world that likely belong to the prsv cluster including a new prsv-like virus reported from sudan in 2003. molecular and biological data indicated that the virus from sudan belongs to a new species, tentatively named wild melon ... | 2017 | 28669763 |
