The Efficiency of Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus Transmission by the Vector Sogatella furcifera to Different Host Plant Species

Southern rice black-streaked dwarf disease is a new rice disease that severely affects rice production in South China.To understand transmission capacity of the vector Sogatella furcifera to Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus（SRBSDV） among different host plant species,potential host plants of SRBSDV collected from the diseased rice field and/or adjacent to the field in Hunan Province,China,were determined by RT-PCR,and the transmission rates of SRBSDV by S.furcifera among different host plant species were investigated.The results showed that host plants of SRBSDV in the rice fields were five of family Gramineae（Oryza sativa,Echinochloa crusgalli,Zea mays,Paspalum distichum,Alopecurus aequali） and two of family Cyperaceae（Juncellus serotinus and Cyperus difformis）.S.furcifera could not transmit SRBSDV between gramineous plants and cyperaceous plants,and could not transmit SRBSDV between the gramineous plants,J.serotinus and C.difformis as well.However,SRBSDV could be transmitted by S.furcifera within gramineous plants.S.furcifera could transmit SRBSDV between interspecies among three species plants（O.sativa,E.crusgalli and Z.mays）,and between P.distichum and A.aequali.At 15,20,25,30,and 35°C,both macropterous and brachypterous adult of S.furcifera could transmit SRBSDV from the plants（e.g.,E.crusgalli,Z.mays and O.sativa） infected with SRBSDV to rice seedlings.The transmission rates were first increased and then decreased with the increase of temperature.Macropterous adults transmitted SRBSDV from the viruliferous E.crusgalli,Z.may and rice plants to the healthy rice seedlings,and the infected rates of rice seedlings were 26.2,18.8 and 23.7% at 15°C,56.6,64.6 and 53.6% at 25°C,and was 11.2,10.2 and 7.3% at 35°C,respectively.Transmission capacity of brachypterous adults was significantly higher than that of macropterous adults at 15,20 and 25°C（P0.05）,while transmission capacity of brachypterous adults was relatively lower compared with that of macropterous ones at 35°C.These results offer evidence on the transmission of SRBSDV via the vector S.furcifer among different host plants,which can be helpful to control Southern rice black-streaked dwarf disease by the appropriate cultural measures in South China.

Transmission of Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus from Frozen Infected Leaves to Healthy Rice Plants by Small Brown Planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus)

In order to preserve virus for identifying the resistance of rice varieties against rice black-streaked dwarf disease, a simple and reliable method was developed, through which virus-free small brown planthopper （SBPH） acquired rice black-streaked dwarf virus （RBSDV） from frozen infected leaves and the virus was transmitted to healthy rice plants. The experimental results showed that SBPH could obtain RBSDV from frozen infected rice leaves and the virus could be transmitted to a susceptible rice variety. For the ability to acquire RBSDV and transmit the virus to healthy plants by SBPH, there was no significant difference between frozen infected leaves and in vitro infected leaves. The novel method could be applied to identification of rice variety resistance to rice black-streaked dwarf disease, facilitating the breeding process for rice black-streaked dwarf disease resistance.

Resistance of Major Rice Cultivars in Hangzhou Area of China against Southern Rice Black-streaked Dwarf Virus

Resistance of 17 major rice cultivars in Hangzhou region of China against southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus was tested in the paper. The results showed that the incidence rate of southern rice black-streWed dwarf virus had certain positive correlation with quantity of white-backed planthopper （Sogatellafurci-fera） and resistance among various cultivars was significant. Two varieties, Yueyou 9113 and Tianyouhuazhan, were most susceptible ; Yongyou 8, Jiayou 2 and Xi-ushui 134 had best resistance and could be used as disease-resistant varieties to prevent the disease.

Occurrence and Chemical Control Techniques of Rice Black-streaked Dwarf Disease in Rongshui County

The chemical control technologies of southern rice black-streaked dwarf disease in hybrid rice were studied in Rongshui County,Guangxi,through a combination of investigation,observation and experiments.Three treatments were set up,namely,no water,shallow water and deep water,and each of which had a treatment area of 67 m^(2).Each treatment was sprayed once with 40 g of 200 million/g Bacillus subtilis wettable powder and 20-30 g of 25%pymetrozine wettable powder per 667 m^(2) in a mixture with 30 kg of water.On the day of spraying,100 diseased rice hills in each treatment were marked for field observation.The test results showed that the control of southern rice black-streaked dwarf disease should be done by draining the field water and spraying the mixture of B.subtilis and pymetrozine evenly,and a better effect can be achieved by keeping the field moist for 6-7 d after spraying.

Prevalence Characteristics of Rice Black-streaked Dwarf Virus Disease and Continuous Control Strategies

Through summarizing the prevalence characteristics of rice black-streaked dwarf virus disease(RBSDVD)in Linyi City of Shandong Province,this paper analyzed its prevalence is related to changes in farming and cultivation systems,the increase in the population of venomous Laodelphax striatellus Fallén and its own migration and spread,the poor disease resistance of cultivated varieties,and inadequate time of prevention and control.Besides,based on the practice of local control,it came up with some comprehensive control measures including strengthening monitoring,early warning and forecasting,planting resistant(tolerant)rice varieties according to local conditions,appropriately delaying the sowing(planting)period,supplemented by insect nets to cover seedlings,and making scientific use of chemical control.It is expected to provide a reference for the prevention and control of RBSDVD.

Analysis of black-streak defects on food-container screw caps

The cause of black-streak defects on food-container screw caps is analyzed by two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry,morphological analysis,and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.An immersion experiment was conducted with the cap immersed in different concentrations of acetic acid to simulate the growth of black streaks.The experimental results show that the acetic acid concentration in food is closely related to the appearance of the black-streak defects.Acetic acid is speculated to permeate into the gaps of the cap,followed by the formation of ferric acetate(light brown solid).The ferric acetate then breaks through the paint surface and its color coincides with that of the paint,which leads to the formation of the black-streak defects.

Detection,Occurrence,and Survey of Rice Stripe and BlackStreaked Dwarf Diseases in Zhejiang Province,China

The major viral diseases that occur on rice plants in Zhejiang Province, eastern China, are stripe and rice black-streaked dwarf diseases. Rice stripe disease is only caused by rice stripe tenuivirus （RSV）, while rice black-streaked dwarf disease can be caused by rice black-streaked dwarf fijivirus （RBSDV） and/or southem rice black-streaked dwarf fijivirus （SRBSDV）. Here we review the characterization of these viruses, methods for their detection, and extensive surveys showing their occurrence and spread in the province.

Epidemiological Characteristics of Maize Rough Dwarf Disease in Huang-Huai-Hai Plain

Maize rough dwarf disease is a common epidemic disease in large areas.Its epidemic and occurrence mechanism is a complex process.In this paper,the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of maize rough dwarf disease in Huang-Huai-Hai plain were elaborated based on the research results of maize rough dwarf disease at home and abroad for many years.The epidemic of maize rough dwarf disease is affected by many factors,such as the occurrence and virus carrying rate of the first generation small brown planthopper,accumulation of virus sources on gramineous crops and weed hosts,maize variety resistance,maize sowing date,maize growth period,crop layout,tillage system,climate and ecological environment.The key factors causing the outbreak and epidemic of maize rough dwarf disease are the planting of maize susceptible varieties,the meeting of maize seedling stage and the peak period of adult spread of the first generation of small brown planthopper.

Screening of Rice Genes Interacting with p5b of Rice BlackStreaked Dwarf Virus

Rice black-streaked dwarf virus （RBSDV） is a recognized member of the genus Fijivirus, family Reoviridae. Its genome has ten double-stranded RNA （dsRNA） segments （$1-$10）, in which the fifth genome segment （$5） contains two open reading frames （ORFs） with a partially overlapping region. The second ORF of RBSDV S5 encodes a viral nonstructural protein named p5b with unknown function. To reveal the function of p5b, its gene was ligated into the bait plasmid pGBKT7 and an expression library containing rice cDNAs was constructed using plasmid pGADT7 for yeast two-hybrid assay. The bait protein p5b was detected in yeast by western blot, and the result of an auto-activation test showed that p5b could not autonomously activate the expression of reporter genes in yeast. Then the bait protein p5b was used for screening the cDNA expression libraries of rice. Gene fragments of some pivotal enzymes involved in photosynthesis, respiration and other important metabolic processes, were identified to interact with p5b in yeast, suggesting that these interactions may play roles in symptom development in infected plants.

A field-deployable method for single and multiplex detection of DNA or RNA from pathogens using Cas12 and Cas13

For some Cas nucleases,trans-cleavage activity triggered by CRISPR/Cas-mediated cis-cleavage upon target nucleic acid recognition has been explored for diagnostic detection.Portable single and multiplex nucleic acid-based detection is needed for crop pathogen management in agriculture.Here,we harnessed and characterized RfxCas13d as an additional CRISPR/Cas nucleic acid detection tool.We systematically characterized AsCas12a,LbCas12a,LwaCas13a,and RfxCas13d combined with isothermal amplification to develop a CRISPR/Cas nucleic acid-based tool for single or multiplex pathogen detection.Our data indicated that sufficient detection sensitivity was achieved with just a few copies of DNA/RNA targets as input.Using this tool,we successfully detected DNA from Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium verticillioides and RNA from rice black-streaked dwarf virus in crude extracts prepared in the field.Our method,from sample preparation to result readout,could be rapidly and easily deployed in the field.This system could be extended to other crop pathogens,including those that currently lack a detection method and have metabolite profiles that make detection challenging.This nucleic acid detection system could also be used for single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping,transgene detection,and qualitative detection of gene expression in the field.
