To identify the inheritance pattern and perform fne mapping of ty-5 gene, P1, P2, F1, BC1 and F2 generations were obtained through a cross between CLN32120a-23 (containing ty-5 gene, P1) and S. lycopersicum Moneymak...To identify the inheritance pattern and perform fne mapping of ty-5 gene, P1, P2, F1, BC1 and F2 generations were obtained through a cross between CLN32120a-23 (containing ty-5 gene, P1) and S. lycopersicum Moneymaker (fully susceptible, P2). The results showed that resistance of ty-5 gene was determined by a recessive effect. Meanwhile, it was presumed that another resistance gene might be involved in mediating the resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). In this study, fne mapping was used to map TYLCV resistance locus to an interval between NAC1 and TES2461 on the short arm of chromosome 4 with genetic distances of 0.5 and 0.8 cM, respectively. qRT-PCR results showed that four candidate genes, SlNAC1; LOC104229164; LOC101260925 and LOC101261508 having resistance-related expression patterns, were the likely target genes of ty-5. In addition, it was found that the codominant marker TES2461 could be used in marker-assisted selection (MAS) breeding. The fndings of this research provided the basis for future cloning of ty-5 gene as well as MAS breeding and plant resistance mechanism studies.展开更多

So, it is important to develop specific gene markers to allow rapid diagnosis by PCR. Markers were developed based on sequences homology comparison of susceptible and resistant plants provided by HORTEC SEEDS in tomato for Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) by the resistance gene Ty-1, in zucchini for Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) and Papaya ringspot virus estirpe watermelon (PRSV-W), and in lettuce for Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV). Fragments of 249 bp were amplified only by resistant plants to TYLCV as the hybrids 2648 and Aguamiel, and not for varieties as Santa Cruz or Carina. It were observed for ZYMV the amplification of 791 bp by the resistant hybrid Px7051 and not for the susceptible cultivar La Belle;for PRSV-W using the same zucchini plants the amplification of 650 bp for susceptible and 750 bp for resistant;for LMV the 421 bp amplification only for the resistant cultivar Brasil 303 and not for susceptible Babá de Verão. Finally, it was observed that primers PK47F/R were able to check the Cabotiá seed hybrids of pumpkin Jabras.展开更多

Based on molecular diagnostic survey, 13 PaLCuCNV isolates were obtained from tomato plants showing leaf curl symptoms in Henan and Guangxi Provinces of China. Complete nucleotide sequences of 5 representative isolates (AJ558116, AJ558117, AJ704604, FN256260, and FN297834) were determined to be 2738–2751 nucleotides, which share 91.7%–97.9% sequence identities with PaLCuCNV isolate G2 (AJ558123). DNA-β was not found to be associated with PaLCuCNV isolates. To investigate the infectivity of PaLCuCNV, an in-fectious clone of PaLCuCNV-[CN:HeNZM1] was constructed and agro-inoculated into Nicotiana benthamiana, N. tabacum Samsun, N. glutinosa, Solanum lycopersicum and Petunia hybrida plants, which induced severe leaf curling and crinkling symptoms in these plants. Southern blot analysis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) indicated a systemic infection of test plants by the agro-infectious clone.展开更多

We investigated both direct and indirect effects of infection with Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) on the performance of the invasive Q biotype and the indigenous Asian ZHJ2 biotype of whitefly Bemisia tabaci. The Q biotype performed better than the ZHJ2 biotype on either uninfected or virus-infected tomato plants. However, virus-infection of host plants did not, or only marginally affected, the performance of either biotype of whiteflies in terms of fecundity, longevity, survival, development and population increase. Likewise, association of the vectors with TYLCV did not affect fecundity and longevity of the Q or ZHJ2 biotypes on cotton, a non-host of TYLCV. These results indicate that the alien Q biotype whitefly, but not the indigenous ZHJ2 biotype, is likely to become the major vector of TYLCV in the field and facilitate virus epidemics.展开更多

In reactions with 14 monoclonal antibod-ies raised against Begomovirus particles, Y8, Y36 and Y38had similar antigenic reaction in TAS-ELISA as Tomato yel-low leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV). The complete DNA-A nucleotide sequences of Y8, Y36 and Y38 were determinedand they contain 2727, 2730 and 2730 nucleotides, respec-tively. Each of the DNA-A sequences has a typical Bego-movirus genome organization encoding 6 ORFs with 2 ORFs [AV1(CP) and AV2] in virion-sense DNA and 4 ORFs (AC1to AC4) in complementary-sense DNA. Comparisons withtotal DNA-A, intergenic region and deduced amino acid se-quences of individual ORFs show that Y8, Y36 and Y38 are isolates of TYLCCNV. Satellite DNA molecules (DNAb) were found to be associated with Y8, Y36 and Y38, which consist of 1338, 1339 and 1338 nucleotides, respectively. Compari-sons show that these DNAb molecules share 98%—99% se-quence identities on nucleotide level and have a commonORF (designated C1) encoding 126 amino acids on the com-plementary strand.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

DNAb was essential for induction of characteristic symptoms in plants. DNAb has three structural features: an 115 bp highly conserved region, bC1 gene and A-Rich region. The in-frame ATG mutation of bC1 gene of Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus isolate Y10 (TYLCCNV-TY10) DNAb demonstrated that bC1 gene is required for leaf curl symptom. Here, the function of A-Rich region in TYLCCNV-Y10 DNAb was identified. When A-Rich region was deleted, the A-Rich deleted mutant was still capable of replication and systemic infection in plant, indicating that A-Rich region is not required for trans-replication of DNAb. The immunotrapping-PCR demonstrated that A-Rich de-leted mutant could be encapsidated in the coat protein en-coded by TYLCCNV-Y10 DNA-A, suggesting that A-Rich region is not related with DNAb encapsidation. However, the A-Rich region deleted mutant caused milder symptom.展开更多

文摘Screening for the source of virus resistance in horticultural plants or specific characterization as hybridization, through symptoms, requires time and depends on the weather and knowledge of plant characteristics. So, it is important to develop specific gene markers to allow rapid diagnosis by PCR. Markers were developed based on sequences homology comparison of susceptible and resistant plants provided by HORTEC SEEDS in tomato for Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) by the resistance gene Ty-1, in zucchini for Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) and Papaya ringspot virus estirpe watermelon (PRSV-W), and in lettuce for Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV). Fragments of 249 bp were amplified only by resistant plants to TYLCV as the hybrids 2648 and Aguamiel, and not for varieties as Santa Cruz or Carina. It were observed for ZYMV the amplification of 791 bp by the resistant hybrid Px7051 and not for the susceptible cultivar La Belle;for PRSV-W using the same zucchini plants the amplification of 650 bp for susceptible and 750 bp for resistant;for LMV the 421 bp amplification only for the resistant cultivar Brasil 303 and not for susceptible Babá de Verão. Finally, it was observed that primers PK47F/R were able to check the Cabotiá seed hybrids of pumpkin Jabras.

文摘Papaya leaf curl China virus (PaLCuCNV) was previously reported as a distinct begomovirus infecting papaya in southern China. Based on molecular diagnostic survey, 13 PaLCuCNV isolates were obtained from tomato plants showing leaf curl symptoms in Henan and Guangxi Provinces of China. Complete nucleotide sequences of 5 representative isolates (AJ558116, AJ558117, AJ704604, FN256260, and FN297834) were determined to be 2738–2751 nucleotides, which share 91.7%–97.9% sequence identities with PaLCuCNV isolate G2 (AJ558123). DNA-β was not found to be associated with PaLCuCNV isolates. To investigate the infectivity of PaLCuCNV, an in-fectious clone of PaLCuCNV-[CN:HeNZM1] was constructed and agro-inoculated into Nicotiana benthamiana, N. tabacum Samsun, N. glutinosa, Solanum lycopersicum and Petunia hybrida plants, which induced severe leaf curling and crinkling symptoms in these plants. Southern blot analysis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) indicated a systemic infection of test plants by the agro-infectious clone.

文摘To better understand the etiology of begomovirus epidemics in regions under invasion we need to know how indigenous and invasive whitefly vectors respond to virus infection. We investigated both direct and indirect effects of infection with Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) on the performance of the invasive Q biotype and the indigenous Asian ZHJ2 biotype of whitefly Bemisia tabaci. The Q biotype performed better than the ZHJ2 biotype on either uninfected or virus-infected tomato plants. However, virus-infection of host plants did not, or only marginally affected, the performance of either biotype of whiteflies in terms of fecundity, longevity, survival, development and population increase. Likewise, association of the vectors with TYLCV did not affect fecundity and longevity of the Q or ZHJ2 biotypes on cotton, a non-host of TYLCV. These results indicate that the alien Q biotype whitefly, but not the indigenous ZHJ2 biotype, is likely to become the major vector of TYLCV in the field and facilitate virus epidemics.

文摘Virus isolates, Y8, Y36 and Y38, were obtained from tobacco plants showing leaf curl symptoms in Honghe, Yunnan Province. In reactions with 14 monoclonal antibod-ies raised against Begomovirus particles, Y8, Y36 and Y38had similar antigenic reaction in TAS-ELISA as Tomato yel-low leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV). The complete DNA-A nucleotide sequences of Y8, Y36 and Y38 were determinedand they contain 2727, 2730 and 2730 nucleotides, respec-tively. Each of the DNA-A sequences has a typical Bego-movirus genome organization encoding 6 ORFs with 2 ORFs [AV1(CP) and AV2] in virion-sense DNA and 4 ORFs (AC1to AC4) in complementary-sense DNA. Comparisons withtotal DNA-A, intergenic region and deduced amino acid se-quences of individual ORFs show that Y8, Y36 and Y38 are isolates of TYLCCNV. Satellite DNA molecules (DNAb) were found to be associated with Y8, Y36 and Y38, which consist of 1338, 1339 and 1338 nucleotides, respectively. Compari-sons show that these DNAb molecules share 98%—99% se-quence identities on nucleotide level and have a commonORF (designated C1) encoding 126 amino acids on the com-plementary strand.
文摘Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus Y10 isolate (TYLCCNV-Y10) alone could systemically infect host plants such as Nicotiana benthamiana without symptoms. 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.

文摘Tomato yellow leaf curl virus(TYLCV)is known to encode 6 canonical viral proteins.Our recent study revealed that TYLCV also encodes some additional small proteins with potential virulence functions.The fifth ORF of TYLCV in the complementary sense,which we name C5,is evolutionarily conserved,but little is known about its expression and function during viral infection.Here,we confirmed the expression of the TYLCV C5 by analyzing the promoter activity of its upstream sequences and by detecting the C5 protein in infected cells by using a specific custom-made antibody.Ectopic expression of C5 using a potato virus X(PVX)vector resulted in severe mosaic symptoms and higher virus accumulation levels followed by a burst of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in Nicotiana benthamiana plants.C5 was able to effectively suppress local and systemic post-transcriptional gene silencing(PTGS)induced by single-stranded GFP but not double-stranded GFP,and reversed the transcriptional gene silencing(TGS)of GFP.Furthermore,the mutation of C5 in TYLCV inhibited viral replication and the development of disease symptoms in infected plants.Transgenic overexpression of C5 could complement the virulence of a TYLCV infectious clone encoding a dysfunctional C5.Collectively,this study reveals that TYLCV C5 is a pathogenicity determinant and RNA silencing suppressor,hence expanding our knowledge of the functional repertoire of the TYLCV proteome.
文摘A novel type of circular single-stranded satellite DNA, known as DNAb, was recently characterized and demonstrated to be associated with monopartite begomovi-ruses. DNAb was essential for induction of characteristic symptoms in plants. DNAb has three structural features: an 115 bp highly conserved region, bC1 gene and A-Rich region. The in-frame ATG mutation of bC1 gene of Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus isolate Y10 (TYLCCNV-TY10) DNAb demonstrated that bC1 gene is required for leaf curl symptom. Here, the function of A-Rich region in TYLCCNV-Y10 DNAb was identified. When A-Rich region was deleted, the A-Rich deleted mutant was still capable of replication and systemic infection in plant, indicating that A-Rich region is not required for trans-replication of DNAb. The immunotrapping-PCR demonstrated that A-Rich de-leted mutant could be encapsidated in the coat protein en-coded by TYLCCNV-Y10 DNA-A, suggesting that A-Rich region is not related with DNAb encapsidation. However, the A-Rich region deleted mutant caused milder symptom.
