Forty-three Australian cultivars or breeding lines of Brassica napus (canola, oilseed rape) and 2 cultivars of Brassica juncea (mustard) were inoculated with infective sap containing isolate WA-Ap of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), which belongs to TuMV pathotype 8. The types of reactions obtained were: necrotic spots in inoculated leaves without systemic infection (RN), chlorotic blotches in inoculated leaves without systemic infection (R), and chlorotic blotches in inoculated leaves accompanied by systemic infection that consisted of either necrotic spots (+N) or chlorotic blotches (+). The RN and +N reactions are consistent with those expected in the presence of 4 strain-specific TuMV resistance genes TuRB01 (+N response), TuRB03 (+N response) and TuRB04 with TuRB05 (RN), with + indicating a susceptible response. However, which resistance gene corresponds to the R response is unclear. The RN (TuRB04 with TuRB05) type of response was the commonest. Only one genotype lacked any TuMV resistance, and segregation for more than one different type of resistance response occurred within 22 genotypes and some segregated for resistance and susceptibility. Some genotypes segregated for all 3 types of resistance response found. The reaction of 2 plants of cv. Rivette was atypical as they developed both necrotic spots in inoculated leaves and systemic chlorotic spots. Since breeding for TuMV resistance is not undertaken in Australia, these results indicate frequent but inadvertent crossing with parental lines carrying TuMV resistance. Widespread occurrence of TuMV resistance genes and the possibility that many Australian TuMV isolates may not be well adapted to B. napus may explain the low incidence of this virus found in Australian B. napus crops.

The responses of 44 accessions, breeding lines, or cultivars of Brassica juncea (Indian mustard), 9 of B. carinata (Ethiopian mustard), 5 of B. nigra (black mustard), and 6 crosses between B. juncea and B. napus (canola) to sap inoculation with Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) were investigated. Eleven different phenotypes were obtained, including six previously recognized in B. napus (+, O, R, RN, RN/+, and +N) and five not recorded before (+St, RN/St, RN/St/+, +N1, and +ND). All but two (+ and +St) were resistance phenotypes. The resistance phenotypes in B. carinata and B. juncea × B. napus crosses prevented systemic infection but those in B. juncea and B. nigra included systemic necrosis. Absence of systemic invasion associated with resistance phenotypes in B. carinata was confirmed by graft inoculations. The resistance phenotypes may reflect the presence of known TuMV resistance genes located in the A genome or unknown genes in the B genome in B. juncea, unknown resistance genes in the B or C genomes in B. carinata, and unknown resistance genes in the B genome in B. nigra. Further research to identify the resistance genes involved would establish the potential usefulness of these resistance phenotypes in breeding TuMV-resistant mustard cultivars for biofuel production.

Dominant resistance genes identified in Brassica napus lines are effective against some, but not all, Turnip mosaic virus<br />(TuMV) isolates. An infectious clone of an isolate (UK 1) was used as the basis of chimeric virus constructions using<br />resistance-breaking mutants and other isolates to identify the virulence determinants for three dominant resistance genes.<br />For the resistance gene TuRB01, the presence of either of two mutations affecting the cylindrical inclusion (CI) protein<br />converted the avirulent UK 1 to a virulent isolate. Acquisition of such mutations had a slight cost to viral fitness in<br />plants lacking the resistance gene. A similar strategy is being used to identify the virulence determinants for two more<br />resistance genes present in another B. napus line.

A new resistance-breaking strain of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) overcomes TuMV resistance genes that currently suppress spread of this virus in Brassica napus crops in the Liverpool Plains region of eastern Australia. Isolates 12.1 and 12.5 of this strain and three other isolates in TuMV pathotypes 1 (NSW-2), 7 (NSW-1), and 8 (WA-Ap1) were inoculated to plants of 19 B. napus cultivars and one breeding line. All plants of these cultivars and the breeding line proved susceptible to 12.1 and 12.5 but developed only resistance phenotypes with WA-Ap1 or mostly resistance phenotypes with NSW-1 and NSW-2. Five different TuMV resistance phenotypes occurred either alone or segregating in different combinations. When these five isolates were inoculated to plants of nine other crop or wild Brassicaceae spp. and four indicator hosts in other families, 12.1 and 12.5 resembled the other three in inducing TuMV resistance phenotypes in some Brassicaceae spp. but not others, and by inducing extreme resistance phenotypes in all inoculated plants of B. oleracea var. botrytis and Raphanus sativus. Therefore, the overall resistance-breaking properties of 12.1 and 12.5 were restricted to B. napus. When isolates 12.1, 12.5, and WA-Ap1 and additional Australian isolate WA-EP1 were sequenced and complete genomes of each compared, 12.1 and 12.5 grouped separately from the other 2 and from all 23 Australian isolates with complete genomes sequenced previously. In addition, there was evidence for at least six separate TuMV introductions to Australia. Spread of this B. napus resistance-breaking strain poses a significant threat to the B. napus oilseed industry. Breeding B. napus cultivars with resistance to this strain constitutes a critical priority for B. napus breeding programs in Australia and elsewhere.

Two isolates of the potyvirus Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), UK 1 and CDN 1, differ both in their general symptoms on the susceptible propagation host Brassica juncea and in their ability to infect B. napus lines possessing a variety of dominant resistance genes. The isolate CDN 1 produces a more extreme mosaic in infected brassica leaves than UK 1 and is able to overcome the resistance genes TuRB01, TuRB04, and TuRB05. The resistance gene TuRB03, in the B. napus line 22S, is effective against CDN 1 but not UK 1. The nucleic acid sequences of the UK 1 and CDN 1 isolates were 90% identical. The C-terminal half of the P3 protein was identified as being responsible for the differences in symptoms in B. juncea. A single amino acid in the P3 protein was found to be the avirulence determinant for TuRB03. Previous work already has identified the P3 as an avirulence determinant for TuRB04. Our results increase the understanding of the basis of plant-virus recognition, show the importance of the potyviral P3 gene as a symptom determinant, and provide a role in planta for the poorly understood P3 protein in a normal infection cycle.

Experiments over two growing seasons clearly showed that Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) infection was associated with internal necrosis (sunken necrotic spots 5 to 10 mm in diameter) and Beet western yellows virus (BWYV) infection was associated with collapse of leaf tissue at the margins (tipburn) in heads of stored white cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata). Virtually no tipburn was seen in cv. Polinius, whereas cv. Impala was affected severely. Internal necrotic spots were seen in both cultivars. BWYV appeared to interact with TuMV. Plants infected with both viruses showed a lower incidence of external symptoms and had less internal necrosis than plants infected with TuMV alone. Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) did not induce significant amounts of internal necrosis or tipburn, but did, in most cases, exacerbate symptoms caused by TuMV and BWYV. BWYV-induced tipburn worsened significantly during storage. Post-transplanting inoculation with TuMV induced more internal necrosis than pre-transplant inoculation. There was a significant association between detection of TuMV just prior to harvest and subsequent development of internal necrotic spots. Individually, all three viruses significantly reduced the yield of cv. Polinius, whereas only BWYV and CaMV treatments reduced the yield of cv. Impala.
