The pepper cultivar Yellow Lantern, one of the spiciest pepper varieties, is a local germplasm of Capsicum chinense, cultivated exclusively on Hainan Island, China. However, this variety is susceptible to viral diseases that severely affect its production. In this study, we report that pepper veinal mottle virus (PVMV) is associated with foliar chlorosis and rugosity symptoms in Yellow Lantern. To verify this correlation, we constructed a full-length cDNA clone of a PVMV isolate named HNu. The virus progeny derived from the cDNA clone replicated and moved systemically in the pepper, inducing the same symptoms as those induced by PVMV-HNu in Yellow Lantern peppers in the field. The results support that PVMV-HNu is the causal agent of foliar chlorosis and rugosity disease in Yellow Lantern. This knowledge will help in the diagnosis and prevention of disease caused by PVMV. Furthermore, the cDNA clone serves as a reverse genetic tool to study the molecular pathogenesis of PVMV.

Variability within the pepper-infecting potyviruses Pepper veinal mottle virus (PVMV) and Chili veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV) in Africa and Asia was investigated. Coat protein (CP) gene sequence diversity revealed three clades that corresponded to three geographic locations and there was no evidence of presence of the ChiVMV/Asian group in western or central Africa. These clades included closely related isolates that potentially belong to two viral species, which is consistent with current nomenclature. These clades could not be unambiguously identified with polyclonal antisera; however, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions allowed differentiation of the isolates into two species based on a large indel in the CP gene. PVMV and ChiVMV isolates were classified into three and two pathotypes, respectively, in relation to pepper genotypes carrying different resistance factors. Specificity of resistance only partially corresponded to molecular diversity of the isolates. Only one isolate of PVMV could infect pepper genotypes carrying the two recessive genes pvr6 and pvr2 2; however, these genotypes were not infected by PVMV in field trials in Senegal, despite a high prevalence of PVMV in the surrounding pepper plants.
