Red soda apple (Solanum capsicoides All.), a member of the Solanaceae, is a weed originally from Brazil (3). It is a perennial in southern Florida and is characterized by abundant prickles on stems, petioles, and leaves. Prickles on stems are more dense than those on its larger, noxious weed relative, tropical soda apple (Solanum viarum Dunal), and the mature red soda apple fruits are bright red in contrast to the yellow fruits of tropical soda apple (2). Virus-like foliar symptoms of light and dark green mosaic were observed on the leaves of a red soda apple in a Lee County cow pasture during a tropical soda apple survey during the fall of 2004. The appearance of necrotic local lesions following inoculation of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi nc with sap from the symptomatic red soda apple leaves suggested the presence of a tobamovirus. Tropical soda apple mosaic virus (TSAMV), a recently described tobamovirus isolated from tropical soda apple in Florida, was specifically identified by a double-antibody sandwich-ELISA (1). An additional six similarly symptomatic red soda apple plants were later collected in the Devils Garden area of Hendry County. Inoculation of N. tabacum cv. Xanthi nc with sap from each of these symptomatic plants also resulted in necrotic local lesions. Sequence analysis of the TSAMV coat protein (CP) gene amplified from total RNA by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR with a mixture of upstream (SolA5′CPv = 5′-GAACTTWCAGAAGMAGTYGTTGATGAGTT-3′; SolB5′CPv = 5′-GAACTCACTGARRMRGTTGTTGAKGAGTT-3′) and downstream (SolA3′CPvc = 5′-CCCTTCGATTTAAGTGGAGGGAAAAAC-3′; SolB3′CPvc = 5′-CGTTTMKATTYAAGTGGASGRAHAAMCACT-3′) degenerate primers flanking the CP gene of Solanaceae-infecting tobamoviruses confirmed the presence of TSAMV in all plants from both locations. Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the 483-bp CP gene were both 98 to 99% identical to the original TSAMV CP gene sequences in GenBank (Accession No. AY956381). TSAMV was previously identified in tropical soda apple in these two locations in Lee and Hendry counties and three other areas in Florida (1). Sequence analysis of the RT-PCR products also revealed the presence of Tomato mosaic virus in the plant from Lee County. To our knowledge, this represents the first report of natural TSAMV infection of any host other than tropical soda apple and suggests that TSAMV may be more widely distributed in solanaceous weeds than initially reported.

The leguminous weed Macroptilium lathyroides is considered a potential host of the Bean golden yellow mosaic virus (BGYMV; BGMV = Mesoamerican isolates). To determine if M. lathyroides could be a host for BGYMV, an infectivity cycle was established between this weed and Phaseolus vulgaris. Virus transmission was carried out using the whitefly, Bemisia argentifolli, as a vector. Inoculated plants of both species were examined for symptoms such as mosaic, stunting, and leaf distortion. P. vulgaris and M. lathyroides showed golden yellow mosaic symptoms during all infectivity cycle stages. Symptomatic plants of both species were tested for BGYMV using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nucleotide sequence analysis. Two degenerate primers sets were used for PCR to detect viral DNA: PAL1v1978/PAR1c715 and PCRc2/PBL12039. PCR analysis using primers PCRc2/PBL12039 amplified viral DNA for component B from both plant species. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a 93% identity between the virus isolated from M. lathyroides and the Puerto Rican isolate of BGYMV. These results confirmed that M. lathyroides could serve as an alternative host of BGYMV and that an infectivity cycle of BGYMV could possibly occur between P. vulgaris and M. lathyroides in Puerto Rico.

Kudzu (Pueraria montana), a weed widely distributed in southern China, is common in the Fuzhou region of Fujian Province, where many plants show yellow vein mosaic disease. In September 2008, four leaf samples from different plants exhibiting yellow vein mosaic symptom were collected in suburban district of Fuzhou (25°15′ N, 118°08′ E). Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) infestation was also observed in this region. Total DNA was extracted from all samples using a CTAB method (4). Universal primers (PA/PB) were used to amplify part of the intergenic region and coat protein gene of DNA-A of begomoviruses (1). An amplicon of approximately 500 bp was obtained from all four samples and then sequenced. Comparison of 500-bp fragments (GenBank Accession Nos. FJ539016-18 and FJ539014) revealed the presence of the same virus (98.8 to 99.4%). A pair of back-to-back primers (Yg3FL-F: 5′-GGATCCTTTGTTGAACGCCTTTCC-3′/Yg3FL-R: 5′-GGATCCCACATGTTTAAAGTAAAGC-3′) were designed to amplify the full-length DNA-A from the Chinese isolate identified as Yg3. Sequence analysis showed that full-length DNA-A of Yg3 isolate comprised 2,729 nucleotides (GenBank Accession No. FJ539014) and shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity (91.9%) with Kudzu mosaic virus (KuMV, GenBank Accession No. DQ641690) from Vietnam. To further test the association of DNA-B fragments with the four samples from southern China, rolling circle amplification (RCA) was performed (3). When RCA products were digested with Sph I, approximately 2.7 kb was obtained from all samples. Yg3 isolate was chosen to be sequenced. Sequence analysis showed that full-length DNA-B of Yg3 isolate comprised 2,677 nucleotides (GenBank Accession No. FJ539015) and shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity (76.8%) with KuMV DNA-B (GenBank Accession No. DQ641691) from Vietnam. Based on the current convention of begomovirus species demarcation of <89% sequence identity cut-off criterion (2), Yg3 was identified as an isolate of KuMV. To our knowledge, this is the first report of association of KuMV with yellow vein mosaic symptom of kudzu in China. References: (1). D. Deng et al. Annals Appl. Biol. 125:327, 1994. (2). C. M.

Abstract Two isolates of Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) from tomato plants grown in different commercial greenhouses in Lithuania were characterized by coat protein (CP) gene sequence analysis. Comparison with other PepMV isolates from the GenBank database showed that both Lithuanian PepMV isolates share 78.3% nucleotide identity and belong to two distinct EU and CH2 genotypes of PepMV. This is the first report on characterization of two PepMV genotypes detected in Lithuania.
