a virus-induced gene silencing method to study soybean cyst nematode parasitism in glycine max. | bean pod mottle virus (bpmv) based virus-induced gene silencing (vigs) vectors have been developed and used in soybean for the functional analysis of genes involved in disease resistance to foliar pathogens. however, bpmv-vigs protocols for studying genes involved in disease resistance or symbiotic associations with root microbes have not been developed. | 2013 | 23830484 |
a stem-loop structure in the 5' untranslated region of bean pod mottle virus rna2 is specifically required for rna2 accumulation. | bean pod mottle virus (bpmv) is a bipartite, positive-sense (+) rna plant virus of the family secoviridae. its rna1 encodes all proteins needed for genome replication and is capable of autonomous replication. by contrast, bpmv rna2 must utilize rna1-encoded proteins for replication. here, we sought to identify rna elements in rna2 required for its replication. the exchange of 5' untranslated regions (utrs) between genome segments revealed an rna2-specific element in its 5' utr. further mapping l ... | 2013 | 23388202 |
virus-induced gene silencing in soybean and common bean. | plant viral vectors are useful for transient gene expression as well as for downregulation of gene expression via virus-induced gene silencing (vigs). when used in reverse genetics approaches, vigs offers a convenient way of transforming genomic information into knowledge of gene function. efforts to develop and improve plant viral vectors have expanded their applications and have led to substantial advances needed to facilitate gene function studies in major row crops. here, we describe a dna-b ... | 2013 | 23386301 |
one-step detection of bean pod mottle virus in soybean seeds by the reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification. | bean pod mottle virus (bpmv) is a wide-spread and destructive virus that causes huge economic losses in many countries every year. a sensitive, reliable and specific method for rapid surveillance is urgently needed to prevent further spread of bpmv. | 2012 | 22958497 |
temporal and spatial bean pod mottle virus-induced gene silencing in soybean. | virus-induced gene silencing (vigs) is a powerful reverse genetics tool in plant science. in this study, we investigated the temporal and spatial silencing patterns achieved by bean pod mottle virus (bpmv)-based vigs in soybean using virus constructs targeting green fluorescence protein (gfp). silencing gfp enabled an in-depth analysis of silencing in soybean tissues over time in a transgenic line constitutively expressing gfp. we discovered evidence for variable gfp silencing based on insert or ... | 2012 | 22738403 |
virus-induced gene silencing in soybean. | understanding the biology of a system requires the association of gene functions to phenotypes and vice versa. although a large number of resources and genomic tools are available for studies in the crop plant soybean, investigations related to gene function have been lacking. this is largely due to the fact that rapid functional genomics tools have been unavailable for application in soybean. this constraint was recently alleviated when a novel bean pod mottle virus (bpmv)-based system for viru ... | 2012 | 22678587 |
detection of members of the secoviridae in the tallgrass prairie preserve, osage county, oklahoma, usa. | viruses are most frequently discovered because they cause disease. to expand knowledge of plant-associated viruses beyond these narrow constraints, non-cultivated plants of the tallgrass prairie of the united states were systematically surveyed for evidence of viruses. this report discusses putative viruses of the family secoviridae identified by the survey. sequence analysis suggests the presence of at least six viruses in the study site, including bean pod mottle virus, maize chlorotic dwarf v ... | 2012 | 22487310 |
production of transgenic soybean lines expressing the bean pod mottle virus coat protein precursor gene. | soybean (glycine max. merrill. cv. fayette) cotyledonary nodes were transformed with bean pod mottle virus (bpmv) coat protein precursor (cp-p) gene via agrobacterium-mediated transformation. the transformation rate was low, and only five primary transformants derived from five different cotyledons were obtained from 400 original cotyledons. southern blot hybridization verified the integration of the bpmv cp-p gene. inheritance and expression of this gene in r1 plants were also demonstrated. abo ... | 1996 | 24178163 |
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 |
protection against common bean rust conferred by a gene-silencing method. | rust disease of the dry bean plant, phaseolus vulgaris, is caused by the fungus uromyces appendiculatus. the fungus acquires its nutrients and energy from bean leaves using a specialized cell structure, the haustorium, through which it secretes effector proteins that contribute to pathogenicity by defeating the plant immune system. candidate effectors have been identified by dna sequencing and motif analysis, and some candidates have been observed in infected leaves by mass spectrometry. to asse ... | 2017 | 28437139 |
virus-induced gene silencing (vigs) and foreign gene expression in pisum sativum l. using the "one-step" bean pod mottle virus (bpmv) viral vector. | plant viral vectors have been developed to facilitate gene function studies especially in plant species not amenable to traditional mutational or transgenic modifications. in the fabaceae plant family, the most widely used viral vector is derived from bean pod mottle virus (bpmv). originally developed for overexpression of foreign proteins and vigs studies in soybean, we adapted the bpmv-derived vector for use in other legume species such as phaseolus vulgaris and pisum sativum. here, we describ ... | 2017 | 28986801 |
