Viruses have been a problem on garlic cultivations in various countries. There are several viruses reported infecting garlic. Genera Potyvirus and Carlavirus are the most common viruses found infecting garlic. Mixed infection on garlic is often designated as a “garlic viral complex”. These viruses can be transmitted through imported garlic seeds. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct early detection of garlic seeds to prevent the epidemic of these viruses. This study aimed to detect Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV) and Shallot latent virus (SLV) on garlic. Garlic samples were obtained from Enrekang, Magelang, Temanggung, Tawangmangu, and Yogyakarta. Total RNA was extracted from the samples and subsequently used for RT-PCR using two pairs of specific primers SLV-F/SLV-R and OYDV-F/OYDV-R. Primary pair SLV-F/SLV-R in amplicons sized 276 bp, while OYDV-F/OYDV-R in amplicons sized 112 bp. RT-PCR results showed that OYDV was found in all samples tested in this study. Meanwhile, double infections (OYDV and SLV) were found in eight out of ten samples tested. These results indicated that double infections on garlic were common in Indonesia.

Onion yellow dwarf virus is distributed worldwide significantly reducing yield of crops from the Allium genus. The aim of the study was the detection and molecular characterization of newly identified OYDV isolates infecting onions in Poland. The virus was detected by transmission electron microscopy and RT-PCR techniques using two pairs of diagnostic primers: OYDV-NibCPF1/R1 and OYDV-CPF2/R2. The specificity of obtained RT-PCR products was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and received viral coat protein sequence was used for phylogenetic analysis. The phylogenetic analysis was carried out using CP sequences of the new Polish onion isolate obtained in this study and 37 other sequences of OYDV retrieved from GenBank. The analysis revealed that the Polish OYDV isolate is the most similar to the OYDV isolates derived from onions from Argentina and Germany, which may indicate their common origin. Moreover, it was observed that the Polish onion and garlic isolates are very diverse and belong to different phylogroups.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Meristem tip culture is culture of isolated meristem with 1-2 leaf primordia on suitable medium. This method is generally used to obtain free virus plant. Optimation of plant growth regulators (PGRs) was done to accelerate explant growth without callus formation and to avoid somaclonal variation in meristem tip culture. The aims of this study were to achieve the best combination of PGR for meristem tip growth and to evaluate meristem tip culture potential for Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV) elimination in shallot. This study used combination of PGRs 0.25 mg L-1 (2-ip, BAP, GA3, kinetin) with or without 0.1 mg L-1 IAA and medium without PGR. This research consisted of two experiments conducted separately. In experiment I, cv. Bima Brebes was used and experiment II cv. Tiron was used. Each experiment was arranged in completely randomized block design with single factor (PGR combination) that has 8 combination levels and 3 replications. The result showed that medium without PGR was the most efficient for meristem tip growth. Primary shoot was growing without callus formation. RT-PCR analysis showed that all of the tested samples were still infected by OYDV. Meristem tip culture method did not eliminate OYDV in both cultivars.<br />Keywords: Auxin, cytokinin, GA3, OYDV, RT-PCR</p><p>ABSTRAK<br />Kultur meristem tip merupakan kultur meristem yang diisolasi 1-2 primordia daun dan pada media yang sesuai. Metode ini umum digunakan untuk mendapatkan tanaman bebas virus. Optimasi terhadap zat pengatur tumbuh (ZPT) dilakukan untuk mempercepat pertumbuhan eksplan tanpa disertai pembentukan kalus untuk menghindari terjadinya variasi somaklonal pada kultur meristem tip. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan kombinasi ZPT terbaik bagi pertumbuhan meristem tip dan untuk mengevaluasi potensi kultur meristem tip dalam mengeliminasi virus Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV) pada tanaman bawang merah. Penelitian ini menggunakan 0.25 mg L-1 (2-ip, BAP, GA3, kinetin) dengan penambahan atau tanpa 0.1 mg L-1 IAA serta media tanpa ZPT. Penelitian ini terdiri atas 2 percobaan terpisah. Percobaan 1 menggunakan cv. Bima Brebes dan Percobaan 2 menggunakan cv. Tiron. Masing-masing percobaan disusun berdasarkan rancangan kelompok lengkap teracak (RKLT) dengan 1 faktor, yaitu kombinasi ZPT yang terdiri atas 8 taraf kombinasi dan 3 ulangan. Hasil yang didapat menunjukkan bahwa media tanpa penambahan ZPT<br />merupakan media yang paling efisien untuk pertumbuhan tunas meristem tip. Tunas utama tumbuh tanpa disertai pembentukan kalus. Hasil analisis RT-PCR menunjukkan bahwa seluruh sampel yang dideteksi masih terinfeksi OYDV. Metode kultur meristem tip belum dapat mengeliminasi virus OYDV pada kedua kultivar bawang merah.<br />Kata kunci: Auksin, GA3, OYDV, RT-PCR, sitokinin</p>

Infection of Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV) are reported causing problems in garlic production. Planting virus-free bulbs might help reduce viral disease incidence in the field. This research was aimed to develop method for eliminating OYDV from garlic bulbs using combination of electrotherapy (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mA each for 10 minutes) and thermotherapy (23, 28, 33, 38°C each for 4 weeks). Two garlic cultivars, i.e. Sangga Sembalun and Lumbu Hijau were used as seed bulbs for OYDV elimination tests. Virus infection was confirmed using transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).  The result showed that thermotherapy at 33 °Cwas the best method to eliminate OYDV in garlic although the efficiency was not the same for all cultivars. The efficiency reached up to 60% for cv. Lumbu Hijau, whereas for cv. Sangga Sembalun only reached up to 40%. Electrotherapy alone or in combination with thermotherapy were not able to produce OYDV-free plantlets.

Sustainable control of plant diseases requires a good understanding of the epidemiological aspects such as the biology of the causal pathogens. In the current study, we used RT-PCR and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to contribute to the characterization of maize lethal necrotic (MLN) viruses and to identify other possible viruses that could represent a future threat in maize production in Tanzania. RT-PCR screening for Maize Chlorotic Mottle Virus (MCMV) detected the virus in the majority (97%) of the samples (n = 223). Analysis of a subset (n = 48) of the samples using NGS-Illumina Miseq detected MCMV and Sugarcane Mosaic Virus (SCMV) at a co-infection of 62%. The analysis further detected Maize streak virus with an 8% incidence in samples where MCMV and SCMV were also detected. In addition, signatures of Maize dwarf mosaic virus, Sorghum mosaic virus, Maize yellow dwarf virus-RMV and Barley yellow dwarf virus were detected with low coverage. Phylogenetic analysis of the viral coat protein showed that isolates of MCMV and SCMV were similar to those previously reported in East Africa and Hebei, China. Besides characterization, we used farmers’ interviews and direct field observations to give insights into MLN status in different agro-ecological zones (AEZs) in Kilimanjaro, Mayara, and Arusha. Through the survey, we showed that the prevalence of MLN differed across regions (P = 0.0012) and villages (P < 0.0001) but not across AEZs (P > 0.05). The study shows changing MLN dynamics in Tanzania and emphasizes the need for regional scientists to utilize farmers’ awareness in managing the disease.
