Wide host range cloning vectors: A cosmid clone bank of an Agrobacterium Ti plasmid

Chrysanthemum stunt viroid (CSVd), a noncoding RNA, is known to cause chrysanthemum stunt disease, which affects the yield of flowers. To gain insights into CSVd replication, infection, and the reasons for the spreading of CSVd disease in chrysanthemum plants, we prepared linear CSVd RNA and analyzed its ability to cause disease in chrysanthemum plants. We found that linear CSVd replicated as efficiently as CSVd RNA isolated from the infected chrysanthemum plants. Additionally, the linear CSVd RNA was evaluated for its ability to infect other plants as well, which revealed that CSVd has a wide host range for its replication. Importantly, the CSVd isolated from these hosts is infectious to chrysanthemum plants, and thus potentially contributes to the spreading of the disease to chrysanthemum plants.

And Control

<i>Echinothrips americanus</i> Morgan, 1913, is one of the pest species that expanded their area of distribution in a relatively short time. Being native to the eastern parts of North America, its first European interception was recorded in 1989. Since then it has invaded greenhouses in most European countries, including Slovakia, where it was first recorded in inspected material at the Botanical garden in Košice. As a polyphagous thrips with a wide host range it may induce damage mainly on ornamentals, although if low in numbers it can be easily overlooked. The species is a suitable example where preventive steps against its spread have not been sufficient enough which, therefore, demands further monitoring. Remarks on morphology, identification, economical importance and control are also given.
