The complete nucleotide sequences of DNAβ of Y5 and Y8 (TLCV DNAβ) were determined. Y5 DNAβ comprises 1333 nucleotides encoding 8 predicted ORFs with 4 ORFs in virion-sense DNA and 4 ORFs in complementary-sense DNA; Y8 DNAP consists of 1338 nucleotides encoding 7 predicted ORFs with 4 ORFs in virion-sense DNA and 3 ORFs in complementary-sense DNA. TLCV DNAβhas little sequence homology to DNA-A of TLCV, except that it shares conserved TAATATTAC loop sequence with TLCV DNA-A. Sequence comparison showed that Y5 DNAβ shared 85% sequence homology with Y8 DNAβ, and both Y5 DNAβ and Y8 DNAβ had relatively low sequence identity (51%-65%) with the reported DNAβ molecules associated with Agera-tum yellow vein virus and Cotton leaf展开更多

Itscausative agent is tobacco leaf curl geminivirus (TLCV)which can be transmitted bywhitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and infect many other plant species of Solanaceae andCaricaceae.The occurrence, host range and insect vector of TbLCV as well as itsserological reaction with monoclonal antibody of African cassava mosaic virus havebeen reported in China, and more recently, tobacco leaf curl disease has becomeendemic in southern areas. Here we first present the nucleotide sequence ofTbLCV coat protein (CP) gene and molecular evolutionary relationship with展开更多

In con- trast, Tobacco curly shoot virus Y35 isolate (TbCSV-Y35) alone induces leaf curl symptoms in N. benthamiana. When inoculated into transgenic N. benthamiana plants expressing GFP gene (line 16c), TYLCCNV-Y10 neither reverses the established GFP silencing nor blocks the onset of GFP si- lencing. In contrast, TbCSV-Y35 can partially reverse the established GFP silencing and block the onset of GFP silenc- ing in new leaves. In the patch co-infiltration assays, the AC2 and AC4 proteins of TYLCCNV-Y10 and TbCSV-Y35 could suppress local GFP silencing and delay systemic GFP silenc- ing, suggesting that they are suppressors of RNA silencing. Comparison of the accumulation levels of GFP mRNA in the co-infiltration patches showed that Y10 AC2 and Y35 AC2 proteins had similar efficiency for suppression of RNA si- lencing. However, Y35 AC4 protein functioned as a stronger suppressor of RNA silencing than Y10 AC4 protein. There- fore, the pathogenicity difference between TbCSV-Y35 and TYLCCNV-Y10 may be related to the functional difference in their AC4 proteins.展开更多

This virus DNA-A contains 2 734 nt. Large intergenic region (LIR) contains 269 nt, the virus sense strand contains 2 open reading frames (ORFs): AV1 (115 aa) and AV2 (coat protein gene, CP, 256 aa), and the complementary sense strand contains 4 ORFs: AC1 (replicase gene, 361 aa), AC2 (transactivator, 134 aa), ACS (134 aa) and AC4 (97 aa). The virus belongs to one kind of subgroup III gemini- viruses from old world, and could be the Chinese tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV-CHI).展开更多

We recently reported a new VIGS vector modified from Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus （TYLCCNV） DNAβ （DNAm β）. In this study we compared in detail DNAmβ-induced gene silencing in four Nicotiana species including N. benthamiana, N. glutinosa, N. tabacum and N. paniculata. We found that DNAmβ-induced gene silencing in the four species was distinct in developing dynamics, tissue specificity, efficiency, and constancy in the plant life span. It was most efficient in N. benthamiana, where development of VIGS was most rapid, without tissue specificity and nearly 100% efficient. DNAmβ-induced gene silencing in N. glutinosa was also efficient despite being slightly less than in N. benthamiana. It initially occurred in veins, later was scattered to mesophyll, finally led to complete silencing in whole leaves. In both species, VIGS constantly expressed until the plants died. However, DNAmβ-mediated VIGS in the other two Nicotiana species, N. tabacum and N. paniculata, was significantly less efficient. It was strictly limited within the veins of the silenced leaves, and constantly occurred only over 3-4 weeks. The upper leaves that emerged later stopped showing the silencing phenotype. DNAmβ-induced gene silencing in N. benthamiana and N. glutinosa was not significantly influenced by the growth stage when the plants were agro-inoculated, and was not sensitive to high growth temperature up to 32℃. Our results indicate that this system has great potential as a versatile VIGS system for routine functional analysis of genes in some Nicotiana species.展开更多
