Geminiviruses are probably the most important viral pathogen affecting tomatoes and other crops in the Caribbean region. In addition to losses previously caused by native virus populations, the introduction of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) into the area has become a major concern for tomato growers (1). Since the detection of TYLCV in Cuba, and later in Florida (2,3), we have been monitoring the tomato- and pepper-growing areas of the Yucatán Peninsula, México, for TYLCV. We also have reanalyzed samples previously collected. Other geminiviruses (pepper huasteco virus [PHV], Texas pepper virus [TPV], and tomato mottle virus [ToMoV]) in the area can cause symptoms similar to those induced by TYLCV, which led us to refine our analysis of samples, using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure that can differentiate between monopartite and bipartite begomoviruses based on the size of the amplification product, 750 and 600 bp, respectively. One advantage of using this set of primers is that the PCR product, which includes the amino terminus of the Rep protein, intergenic region, precoat protein, and amino terminus of the coat protein, can be sequenced completely with only one sequencing reaction from each end. Using the primer set, we analyzed samples collected from tomato and pepper fields (as well as from weeds surrounding the fields) from December 1996 until March 1999. In most cases, samples were taken from plants that showed yellowing, curling, and stunting symptoms. Most of the samples that were positive for geminiviruses came from plants infected with PHV or TPV. However, three tomato samples collected during two seasons in Dzidzantun and Yobain counties (northeast of Mérida, Yucatan) produced the larger PCR amplification product (750 bp) expected for monopartite begomoviruses. PCR products were cloned and sequenced to confirm their identity. The sequence was deposited in the GenBank Database (Accession no. AF168709) and compared with all geminivirus sequences deposited in the database. Analysis showed that the amplified fragment from the TYLCV strain present in the Yucatán is 99% identical to the isolate reported in the Dominican Republic and later found in Cuba (2). As previously noted, the isolate is almost identical to TYLCV-Isr (2). In addition to the PCR product, a full-length TYLCV clone was obtained directly from DNA extracts of an infected tomato plant. Further characterization of the full-length clone is underway. The fact that TYLCV was detected in two counties and in samples collected during two seasons confirms the presence of TYLCV in the Yucatán. Interestingly, although the first positive sample for TYLCV was collected during the winter of 1996 and 1997, current incidence is rather low—only two other positive samples have been detected in more recently collected samples. Perhaps the characteristics of the agriculture system in the Yucatán (small, disperse plots) or the presence of other geminiviruses have contributed to a slow spread of the virus. More comprehensive surveys are required to confirm the actual distribution of the pathogen in the area. References: (1) J. E. Polston et al. Plant Dis. 81:1358, 1997. (2) J. E. Polston et al.

Tomato yellow leaf curl Kanchanaburi virus (TYLCKaV) is a bipartite begomovirus (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) reported to infect tomato and eggplant in Thailand and Vietnam (1,2). In April 2013, eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) plants exhibiting yellow mosaic symptoms were found in a suburb of Vientiane, Laos. Three symptomatic samples were collected. Total DNA was extracted from leaves by the CTAB method, and used as template for PCR using the degenerate primer pair AV494/CoPR (3). The PCR results suggested that the plants were infected by a begomovirus. The begomoviral genome was amplified by rolling circle amplification (RCA) with TempliPhi kit (GE Healthcare) following the manufacturer's protocol. RCA product was digested with the endonucleases BamH I, EcoR I, Hind III, Kpn I, Pst I, and Xba I, respectively. The fragments about 2.1 kbp (with Pst I digestion) and 1.5 kbp (with Xba I digestion) in size were cloned and sequenced. The sequence of the 2.1-kbp fragment showed similarity with begomovirus DNA-A component. A pair of primers for amplification of the full-length DNA-A, AF (5′-CTTCATCGTTTCTCAGCATCAT-3′) and AR (5′-CACTTGCACACGATCTCTAAGA-3′) were designed from the 2.1-kbp sequence. The full-length DNA-A was 2,752 nucleotides and encoded six putative ORFs (GenBank Accession No. KF218820). The sequence of the 1.5-kbp fragment shared similarity with begomoviruses DNA-B. The begomoviral circular DNA-B was amplified using the pair of primers BF (5′-GTAACAGCCGAAGTGCACG-3′) and BR (5′-AATGGAGAGACACCAGTCTGCC-3′) designed from the 1.5-kbp sequence. PCR yielded a product of expected size (~1.4 kbp). The full-length DNA-B sequence was obtained by assembling the two sequences. The DNA-B was 2,734 nucleotides and encoded two putative ORFs (GenBank Accession No. KF218821). The sequences of DNA-A and DNA-B of isolate Laos shared the highest nucleotide sequences identities at 99.0% and 98.0% with those of TYLCKaV-[TH:Kan 1:01] (AF511529), and [TH:Kan 2:Egg:01] (AF511527), respectively. The results indicated that the virus associated with eggplant yellow mosaic disease was an isolate of TYLCKaV. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this begomovirus in Laos. Our results indicate that this virus may be spreading in Southeast Asia and scientists there should be aware of this virus when developing begomovirus-resistant varieties of tomato or eggplant.

In Guatemala and other Central American countries, whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses (begomoviruses) cause economically important diseases of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and pepper (Capsicum annuum). Disease symptoms include stunted and distorted growth and leaf curling, crumpling, light green to yellow mosaic, purpling, and vein swelling. In Guatemala, at least eight bipartite begomovirus species infect tomato or peppers (1), but their role and relative importance is unclear. As part of an Integrated Pest Management strategy to manage these diseases, surveys for begomovirus symptoms in pepper and tomato have been conducted in the Salama Valley, Sanarate, and other locations since 2003, and begomoviruses were identified by squash blot hybridization, PCR and DNA sequencing. Beginning in 2006, a new type of symptom, stunted upright growth and upcurled leaves with yellowing of the margins and interveinal areas, was observed in tomato and tomatillo plants in the Salama Valley and Sanarate. These symptoms were similar to those induced by the exotic monopartite begomovirus Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Evidence that TYLCV caused these symptoms came from positive results in high stringency squash blot hybridization tests with a TYLCV probe, and amplification of the expected size of ~0.3- and 2.8-kb fragments in PCR tests with TYLCV capsid protein (CP) gene and full-length component primer pairs, respectively (3). Sequence analyses of PCR-amplified CP fragments and portions of full-length fragments revealed 97 to 99% identity with isolates of TYLCV-Israel (TYLCV-IL). The complete nucleotide sequence of an isolate from the Salama Valley (GenBank Accession No. GU355941) was >99% identical to those of TYLCV-IL isolates from the Dominican Republic, Florida, and Cuba and ~97% identical to those of isolates from Mexico and California. Thus, this TYLCV-IL isolate (TYLCV-IL[GT:06]) was probably introduced from the Caribbean Region. To further characterize begomoviruses in the Salama Valley, leaf samples were collected from 44 and 118 tomato plants showing symptoms of begomovirus infection in March 2006 and 2007, respectively, and from 106 symptomatic pepper plants in March 2007. Begomovirus infection was confirmed in 42 of 44 and 93 of 118 of the tomato samples and 100 of 106 of the pepper samples based on PCR amplification of the expected size of ~0.6- and 1.1-kb DNA fragments with the begomovirus degenerate primers pairs AV494/AC1048 and PAL1v1978/PAR1c496, respectively (2,4). Sequence analyses of cloned PCR-amplified fragments revealed that 3 of the 44 and 16 of the 118 tomato samples collected in 2006 and 2007, respectively, and 9 of the 106 pepper samples were infected with TYLCV based on >97% identity with TYLCV-IL. In all samples, TYLCV was present in mixed infections with other begomoviruses. The introduction of TYLCV adds to the already high level of genetic complexity of bipartite begomovirus infection of tomatoes and peppers in Guatemala and will undoubtedly complicate disease management efforts.

Three distinct tomato-infecting begomoviruses have been identified from Indonesia (GenBank Accessions Nos. AB100304, AB100305, and DQ083765). Severe yellow leaf curl epidemics have been observed on tomato on Java Island since the late 1990s. Viral DNA was extracted (2) from one such sample collected in Lembang, West Java in 1998. Polymerase chain reaction with previously described primers was used to detect the presence of geminiviral DNA-A (4), DNA-B (3), and associated satellite DNA (1). The predicted 1.4-kb DNA-A fragment was amplified with the general primer pair PAL1v1978/PAR1c715 and then cloned and sequenced. DNA-B and satellite DNA were not detected in the sample. On the basis of the partial DNA-A sequences, specific primers were designed to amplify and sequence the complete DNA-A component (2,762 nucleotides, GenBank Accession No. AF189018). The DNA-A sequence contained the geminivirus-conserved nanosequence TAATATTAC in the loop of the hairpin structure of the intergenic region and six open reading frames including two in the virus sense and four in the complementary sense. Pairwise comparison of the full-length DNA-A sequence with those of other begomoviruses available in the GenBank database was done by the MegAlign software (DNASTAR, Inc, Madison, WI). Highest nucleotide sequence identity (74.1%) was with Tomato leaf curl Mayotte virus-[Kahani] (GenBank Accession No. AJ865340). Comparison of the full-length DNA-A sequence with the three above mentioned tomato-infecting begomoviruses from Indonesia also showed less than 71% nucleotide sequence identities. Because the DNA-A sequence had less than 89% identity with other begomoviruses, it should be classified as a distinct virus according to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. The name Tomato yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus-[Lembang] (TYLCIDV-[Lem]) is proposed. The presence of at least four distinct tomato-infecting begeminiviruses on Java Island needs to be considered when developing tomato cultivars with stable resistance to tomato (yellow) leaf curl disease.

Дана информация об изучении коллекции гибридов F1томата (Solanum lycopersicum L.) зарубежной селекции различных фирм-оригинаторов, рекомендованных производителями семян как толерантные к вирусу желтой курчавости листьев томата. Все гибриды обладали комплексом хозяйственно ценных признаков и набором генов устойчивости к основным заболеваниям томата, в том числе к новому для юга России опасному патогену с максимальным потенциальным риском – вирусу желтой курчавости листьев томата (Tomato yellow leaf curl virus — TYLCV). Исследования проведены в 2017-2018 годах в лаборатории пасленовых культур ООО «НИИСОК» и в лаборатории молекулярной диагностики растений ООО «Семеновод». Всего было протестировано 34 гибрида F1 томата. Гибриды оценивали по совокупности хозяйственно ценных признаков, также проводили молекулярно-генетический анализ на наличие и аллельное состояние основных генов устойчивости: к вирусу табачной мозаики (Tm2а), фузариозному увяданию (I2), вертициллезному увяданию (Ve), к кладоспориозу (Cf9), нематодам (Mi1.2), вирусу бронзовости томата (Sw5), вирусу желтой курчавости листьев томата (Ty3a). Установлено, что все проанализированные гибриды томата с заявленной оригинаторами семян устойчивостью к вирусу желтой курчавости листьев были гетерозиготны по гену Ty3a. На основании проведенных исследований и с учетом требований рынка разработаны модели гибридов F1 томата юга России. Перспективный гибрид томата должен обладать индетерминантным типом роста с укороченными междоузлиями (4,5-5 см) а также хорошей облиственностью. Плоды томата должны быть с красной равномерной окраской без зеленого пятна у плодоножки, с плоскоокруглой или округлой формой плода и со средней массой 220-270 г. Для повышения транспортабельности томатов необходимо, чтобы плоды отличались высокой прочностью и характеризовались хорошей лежкостью. Урожайность гибрида томата должна быть более 30 кг/м2, а товарность - не менее 85%. Гибрид томата должен обладать следующим набором генов устойчивости в гетерозиготном состоянии: Ty3a, Mi1.2, Cf-9, а также в гомозиготном состоянии: Tm2a, I2, Ve. The article provides information on the study of the collection of F1 tomato hybrids (Solanum lycopersicumL.) of foreign breeding from various firms-originators recommended for cultivation in regions with a strong spread of tomato yellow leaf curl virus. All hybrids had a complex of economically valuable traits and a set of genes for resistance to the main diseases of tomato, including a new dangerous pathogen for the South of Russia with a maximum potential risk — the tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). The studies were carried out in 2017-2018 in the Solanaceae Laboratory of LLC NIISOK and in the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory of Plants of LLC Semenovod. A total of 34 F1 tomato hybrids were tested. The hybrids were assessed by a set of economically valuable traits. Molecular genetic analysis was also carried out for the presence and allelic state of the main resistance genes: Tomato mosaic virus (Tm2a), Fusarium wilt (I2), Werticillium wilt (Ve), Cladosporium fulvum (Cf9), Nematodes (Mi1.2), Tomato spotted wilt virus (Sw5), Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (Ty3a). It was found that all the analyzed tomato hybrids with the declared by seed originators resistance to yellow leaf curl virus were heterozygous for the Ty3a gene. Based on the conducted research and taking into account the market requirements, models of F1 tomato hybrids for protected ground for the South of Russia have been developed. A promising tomato hybrid should have an indeterminate growth type with shortened internodes (4.5-5 cm) and good foliage. Tomato fruits should have a uniform red color without green shoulders, with a flat-round or round shape of the fruit and with an average weight of 220-270 g. To increase the transportability of tomatoes, it is necessary that the fruits are highly firm and characterized by good shelf life. The yield of tomato hybrid should be more than 30 kg/m2, and marketability should be at least 85%. The tomato hybrid should have the following set of resistance genes in a heterozygous state: Ty3a, Mi1.2, Cf-9, and also in a homozygous state: Tm2a, I2, Ve.
